Path: Main Menu > Vendor > Browse Vendors screen > Maintain Vendor screen > Check History tab

3. An error would occur in the Pre-Check Report if it included a check number longer than 8 digits. We have corrected this to support 10-digit check numbers, up to a maximum check number of 2147483647. (Case 1794)

Path: Main Menu > Checks > Process Checks screen

Path: Main Menu > Setup > Payables Setup screen > Bank Accounts button > Browse Bank Accounts screen > Maintain Bank Account screen > Payables ACH Addenda tab

5. On ACH Pre-Notes, there was an error related to account types in the TranCode. This has been corrected. (Case 3717)

ACH Pre-Notes were also missing the CCD/PPD code and the PHA bank account, and the transaction code for the Entry Detail Record for the PHA on balanced ACH files was incorrect. These errors have been corrected. (Case 2483)

Path: Main Menu > Applicants > Browse Applicants screen > Maintain Applicant screen > Applicant tab > Show Form Letters and Reports ... icon

Calendar

Enhancement

1. The Calendar program in TenCental, including its appointment reminder functionality, now uses the new WinTen²⁺ calendar. (Cases 1151 and 1468)

Consumable Inventory

Program Version: 2.0.0.0

Program Date: 5/21/2012

Bug Reports

1. The Consumable Inventory Item listing report was cutting off the Stock Number. We have widened the column to correct this.(Case 1628)

Path: Main Menu > Reports > Consumable Inventory Report screen > General tab

2. An error related to the vertical scroll bar sometimes prevented users from seeing all employees on the Maintain Consumable Inventory Employee with Warehouse screen. The problem occurred when the CIEmp policy in Setup was set to True (Only Show Employee Warehouses). This problem has been corrected. (Case 1192)

Path: Main Menu > Setup > Consumable Inventory Setup Menu screen > Employee button > Maintain Consumable Inventory Employee with Warehouse screen

Fixed Assets

Program Version: 1.1.4.2

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

Path: Main Menu > Setup > Fixed Asset Setup screen > Asset Class button > Maintain Asset Class screen > Delete icon

2. If two users were posting from Fixed Assets to General Ledger at the same time, it could cause deadlock (database locking) errors. This has been corrected. (Case 3795)
3. When the "Post Depreciation to General Ledger" policy in Setup was set to False, the program would still check for GL account setup when you disposed or transferred an asset. This has been corrected, so that the program checks for GL account setup only when needed. (Case 1795)

Path: Main Menu > Setup > Fixed Asset Setup screen > Policies button > Browse Policies screen > Policy FAPostGL: Post Depreciation to General Ledger

General Ledger

Program Version: 1.2.2.7

Path: Main Menu > Reports > Ledger and HUD Reports screen > Financial Reports tab

2. When multiple WinTen² programs or users posted to General Ledger at the same time, it would sometimes cause deadlock (database locking) errors, as each program was attempting to update the same ledger information. This has been corrected. (Case 571)

As part of this correction, we have implemented a batch posting queue, behind the scenes, in General Ledger. We have also enhanced the Browse Batches screen and Maintain Batches screen to show various messages, as needed, if batches have been locked, queued, or posted by other programs or users. (Case 3731)

Path: Main Menu > JEs > Browse Batches screen > Maintain Batches screen

Occupancy and Rent Calculation

Program Version: 1.198.12.1

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

Enhancements

1. We have moved the FSS setup screens from the Setup area of ORC to the Tenant Accounts Receivable program. We have also added a subsidy-type drop-down list (the "Tenant Type (Subsidy)" field) to the Maintain FSS Setup screen. These changes are in preparation for the future migration of FSS functionality to WinTen²⁺. (Case 3540)

Path: TenCentral > Tenant Accounts Receivable > Main Menu > Setup > Receivables Setup screen > Profiles and Policies tab > FSS button > Browse FSS Setup screen > Maintain FSS Setup screen

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Main tab > Show Calendar icon

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

5. We have added a new policy in Setup related to retro-rent/correction certifications. If the policy is set to True, ORC will assign the next voucher date to a correction when the submission is created. (If the policy is False, ORC will function as it did before, defaulting the voucher date to the voucher date that is currently stored on the main tab of ORC.) (Case 2537)

Path: Main Menu > Setup > Setup screen > Default Settings tab > Tools icon drop-down list > Maintain Policies > Browse Policies screen > Policy oFutrVch: Use the next Voucher date for corrections

6. We have added the Termination Reason field to the Scribe ORC Certification data source. (Case 3701)

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

Bug Reports

A. The tenant search function did not work correctly when viewing History Tenants.

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > View: History Tenants; Search For field

B. The Print and Preview icons were not available on the Process Special Claims screen when a claim was entered in the Un-Attached view.

Path: Main Menu > Voucher > Maintain Vouchers screen > Process Special Claims icon > Process Special Claims screen > View drop-down list: Un-Attached > Add icon

C. The project name and number were not being filled out correctly on Form HUD-52671-A. We have also added the signatory's printed name to the bottom of Form HUD-52671-A.

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Main tab > Reports Menu icon > Tenant Reports screen

D. We have added Form HUD-52670-A Part 2, to allow for printing and sending a claim for approval.

Path: Main Menu > Voucher > Maintain Vouchers screen > Process Special Claims icon > Process Special Claims screen > Tools icon drop-down menu

E. We have added the New Tenant Move-in Date field to the Add Special Claim Wizard and the Process Special Claims screen, so the date can be entered initially with the claim and changed when the claim is edited.

Path: Main Menu > Voucher > Maintain Vouchers screen > Process Special Claims icon > Process Special Claims screen > Add icon > Add Special Claim Wizard

Path: Main Menu > Voucher > Maintain Vouchers screen > Process Special Claims icon > Process Special Claims screen > Edit icon

F. We have corrected the amounts and summary information on Form HUD-52670-A Part 5.

Path: Main Menu > Voucher > Maintain Vouchers screen > Edit icon > Voucher Review screen > Print or Preview icon

2. For TRACS tenants, the automatically-generated adjustments for terminations and move-out certifications were not taking into account any future certifications. This was causing the adjustments to be incorrect when paying amounts back to HUD. This has been corrected. (Cases 1849 and 3625)

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

3. The program incorrectly allowed you to enter more than one TRACS Voucher with the same effective date for the same contract type. This has been corrected. (Case 3705)

Path: Main Menu > Voucher > Maintain Vouchers screen > Add icon

4. For TRACS vouchers, the Daily Rate for adjustments was not rounding correctly. (The Daily Rate shows on Form HUD-52670-A Part 3.) This has been corrected. (Case 3186)

Path: Main Menu > Voucher > Maintain Vouchers screen > Edit icon > Voucher Review screen > Print or Preview icon

5. For TRACS tenants, the program failed to create a MAT40 record when a tenant had a Unit Transfer with the same effective date as an Annual or Interim Recertification. This error in turn caused the tenant to show up for both units on the TRACS voucher. This has been corrected, so that the appropriate MAT40 is created. (Case 873)

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

6. An error would occur if you tried to reopen a Unit Transfer Certification. This has been corrected. (Case 1629)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Re-Open Certification icon

7. When moving a tenant from History to Current, if the tenant had more than one record in History, ORC would sometimes move the wrong record to Current. This has been corrected. (Case 2014)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > View: History Tenants > Edit icon > Tenant History screen > Main tab > Move To Current icon

8. History Tenants were not sorting in date order on the Browse Tenants screen, which made research difficult. To correct this, we have added a sort on the Effective Date. By default, records now sort by Last Name, First Name, Effective Date. (Case 2536)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > View: History Tenants

9. An "OpenCursor" error would occur when previewing printed form-letter and report documents for a tenant. This has been corrected. This function now opens the WinTen²⁺ Scribe Log Viewer screen. (Case 2956)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Main tab > Show Form Letters and Reports ... icon

10. There was a rounding error on 30% of Monthly Adjusted Income, which in turn sometimes caused Total Tenant Payment (TTP) to be incorrect. This has been corrected. (The rounding for 30% of adjusted income is calculated by rounding the adjusted income per month to the penny, and then multiplying the amount by 30%, and then rounding that amount to the penny and then to the dollar.) (Case 3707)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Browse Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Totals tab
