Accounts Payable

Program Version: 1.26.06

Program Date: 2/15/2011

Bug Report

1. We have corrected an error that sometimes occurred during check processing. If a vendor had multiple invoices and the policy with the code of "PBLCkStu" was set to True in order to print invoice header information on check stubs, only one header was printing from the multiple invoices. This has been corrected and the header information will now print on all invoices for a vendor if the policy is set to True.

Path: Main Menu screen > Checks > Process Checks Wizard

Policies are maintained in the Setup area of the Accounts Payable program:

Path: Main Menu screen > Setup > Payables Setup screen > Policies > Browse Policies screen > Maintain Policies screen

Applicant List

Program Version: 1.62.11.0

Program Date: 3/3/2011

Enhancements

1. To accommodate clients who create waiting lists for transfers, you are now able to remove applicants with open unit offers from a waiting list.

Path: Main Menu screen > Applicants > Browse Applicants screen > Maintain Applicants screen > Lists Applied For tab > Tools icon drop-down list > Remove from Waiting List > Remove from Waiting List Wizard

2. We have added a new report, Applicant List Vacant Unit Listing, that displays only vacant units that are not classified under any type of exclusion and are available for lease. The report also displays any offers that were made on units, and if the offers were accepted or if the units are scheduled to be shown.

Path: Main Menu screen > Reports > Applicant List Report screen > List Management tab > Applicant List Vacant Unit Listing

Consumable Inventory

Program Version: 1.47.0.35

Program Date: 12/2/2010

Bug Report

1. When adding an item, an error message would appear if you didn't manually enter a quantity, even if you didn't change the quantity from the already displayed "0". This has been corrected.

Path: Main Menu screen > Items > Browse Consumable Inventory Items screen > Add icon > Add Item Wizard (Step 2)

Fixed Assets 

Program Version: 1.1.1.0

Program Date: 3/3/3011

Bug Report

1. The Reports screen was slow to display. To make the screen display faster, we have removed asset type information which contained the manufacturer, make, model, and class for fixed assets.

Path: Main Menu screen > Report > Fixed Asset Reports screen

This change simplifies adding assets. When adding an asset, you can now enter the manufacturer, make, model, and class directly rather than having to choose an asset type.

Path: Main Menu screen > Assets > Browse Assets screen or Maintain Assets screen > Add icon > Add New Record Wizard (Step 2)

The change also simplifies maintaining assets. Manufacturer, make, model, and class are now directly editable from the Maintain Assets screen. The Manufacturer field has been added and the Make and Model fields have been moved to the left side of the screen with the other editable fields. The Date, Cost, and Created in PO fields have been moved to the right side of the screen with the other fields that can only be changed by using a wizard.

Path: Main Menu screen > Assets > Browse Assets screen > Maintain Assets screen > Main tab

Note: If your agency has custom reports for Fixed Assets that use manufacturer, make, model and class data in Asset Type, please call Tenmast Support so we can help you rebuild these reports to use the new manufacturer, make, model, and class information connected with each asset.

IRS 1099

Occupancy and Rent Calculation

Program Version: 1.46.11.0

Program Date: 2/15/2011

Requirements

1. Previously, after terminating subsidy on a TRACS tenant, the adjustments were paid back and the correct amounts were entered, but the adjustments were not created in accordance with appendix H of the 4350.3 handbook. To make ORC work in accordance with termination adjustment examples in Appendix H of the 4350.3 handbook, the program now creates three adjustments for a TRACS terminations on a partial month: the initial adjustment pays back full months for which the tenant has received subsidy, the second adjustment re-submits for money owed to the HA for the partial month that the tenant is under subsidy, and the third adjustment then reports the termination of assistance.

The new adjustment records can be viewed in the eTrans Wizard.

Path: Main Menu screen > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Finalize icon > Finalize Certification Wizard > eTrans Wizard

Path: Main Menu screen > Certification > Browse Certifications screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Finalize icon > Finalize Certification Wizard > eTrans Wizard

2. Previously, after transferring a TRACS tenant from one unit into another, the adjustments were paid back and the correct amounts were entered, but the adjustments were not created in accordance with appendix H of the 4350.3 handbook. To make ORC work in accordance with unit transfer adjustment examples in Appendix H of the 4350.3 handbook, the program now creates four adjustments for a TRACS unit transfer: the initial adjustment pays back full months for which the tenant has received even partial subsidy, the second adjustment re-submits for money owed to the HA for the partial month that the tenant is under subsidy, the third adjustment reports the change of unit, and the fourth adjustment requests the amount of money owed from the unit in which the tenant now resides.

The new adjustment records can be viewed in the eTrans Wizard.

Path: Main Menu screen > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Finalize icon > Finalize Certification Wizard > eTrans Wizard

Path: Main Menu screen > Certification > Browse Certifications screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Finalize icon > Finalize Certification Wizard > eTrans Wizard

3. Previously, after processing a gross rent change for a TRACS tenant, the program only created two adjustments for a change performed after the first of the month. To make ORC work in accordance with gross rent change examples in Appendix H of the 4350.3 handbook, the program now creates three separate adjustments for a gross rent change completed after the first of the month and only two adjustments when the gross rent change is completed on the first of the month.

The gross rent adjustments can be viewed in the eTrans Wizard.

Path: Main Menu screen > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Finalize icon > Finalize Certification Wizard > eTrans Wizard

Path: Main Menu screen > Certification > Browse Certifications screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Finalize icon > Finalize Certification Wizard > eTrans Wizard

4. The example of Form HUD 52670-A Part 3 is displayed in Appendix H of the HUD Handbook 4350.3 with a space between the adjustments printed by unit. To make ORC work in accordance with the example in the handbook (and to make the form easier to read), the program now prints Form HUD 52670-A Part 3 with a space between the adjustments printed by unit.

Path: Main Menu screen > Voucher > Browse Vouchers screen > Voucher Review screen > Voucher Summary tab > Print/Print Preview icon > Print Voucher screen > Print Adjustment to Schedule of Tenant Assistance Payments Due (form HUD 52670-A Part 3) checkbox

5. We have corrected formatting errors found in paragraph C on page 2 of Form HUD 52646 (Tenant Voucher).

Path: Main Menu screen > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Reports Menu icon > Tenant Reports screen

6. If you entered the Virgin Island state code as the housing authority billed for an incoming portable tenant, and then attempted to make an eTrans record for the tenant, the following eTrans error would appear: "12f |HA Billed must be a valid PHA ID." This has been corrected.

Path: Main Menu screen > Tenants > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Main tab > Rent Calculations sub-tab > HA Billed field

You can make eTrans records on the eTrans tab:

Path: Main Menu screen > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > eTrans tab > Make eTrans Wizard icon > TRACS eTrans Wizard

Enhancement

1. You are now able to update blank submitted dates for TRACS tenants. On the tenant's eTrans tab, select and highlight the eTrans record without a submitted date that you want to work with and right-click. A Submitted Date window appears where you select the appropriate date and then click OK to apply the change.

Path: Main Menu screen > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > eTrans tab > Submitted Date window

Bug Reports

1. For TRACS tenants, if a termination certification was completed with a termination code of "DS - Double Subsidy at move in," an incorrect eTrans error would occur stating that the termination code was invalid. This has been corrected.

Path: Main Menu screen > Certification > Browse Certifications screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Finalize icon > Finalize Certification Wizard

3. On step two of the TRACS eTrans Wizard, adjustment totals were displayed rounded to the nearest cent. To help those clients who use this step to verify their vouchers, the amounts are now rounded to whole number amounts.

Path: Main Menu screen > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > eTrans tab > Make eTrans Wizard icon > TRACS eTrans Wizard (Step 2)

4. If a TRACS tenant had a blank mailing address, the program was recognizing it as a different address from their unit physical address and a MAT 15 record was being incorrectly created. This has been corrected and a MAT 15 is no longer created if the tenant's mailing address is blank.
5. When creating adjustments for New Admission and Other Change of Unit certifications, extra adjustments were incorrectly created for future months. This has been corrected.

Path: Main Menu screen> Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Finalize Certification icon > Finalize Certification Wizard > Add Adjustments Wizard > Add icon
