Following is a summary of the corrections and enhancements included in the Tenmast Software 2.157.1.12 Maintenance Release with the release date of 2/8/2013.
Occupancy and Rent Calculation Release Notes
Section 8 Tenant and Landlord Release Notes
Program Version: 1.22.13.0
Program Date: 1/22/2013
| 1. | When issuing a voucher, the Voucher Expiration Date is now editable. (Case 6309) |
Path: Main Menu > Applicants > Browse Applicants screen > Maintain Applicant screen > Lists Applied For tab > Tools icon drop-down list > Issue Voucher
| 1. | Expenses were being calculated incorrectly on the Household Details Report. Expense amounts were being re-added to themselves each time you ran the report. This has been corrected. (Case 6654) |
Path: Main Menu > Applicants > Browse Applicants screen > Maintain Applicant screen > Applicant tab > Print icon or Preview icon drop-down list > Print/Preview Household Details Report
| 2. | The program would allow you, incorrectly, to remove an applicant from a waiting list if the applicant had an open offer for that list. This caused open offers to be left without a response or expiration. We have corrected this, so that you can no longer remove an applicant from a waiting list for which the applicant has an open offer. All open offers must be disposed of properly before an applicant can be removed from the affected waiting list. (Case 6661) |
Path: Main Menu > Applicants > Browse Applicants screen > Maintain Applicant screen > Lists Applied For tab > Tools icon drop-down list > Remove from Waiting List

Path: Main Menu > Reports > Ledger and HUD Reports screen > Financial Reports tab
Program Version: 1.29.13.0
Program Date: 1/29/2013
| 1. | We have added a function that lets you copy an existing Utility Allowance Profile. (Case 6627) |

Path: Main Menu > Setup > Setup screen > Default Settings tab > Tools icon drop-down list > Utility Allowances > Utility Allowance Setup screen > Allowance Profile tab
| 3. | The prior release included an enhancement (Case 5881) adding support for MTW (Moving to Work) Public Housing tenants who participate in income-tiered flat rents. We have now added a policy in Setup that allows your agency to override the MTW Tiered rents. If the policy is set to True, flat rents will work as they did before the implementation of MTW Tiered rents. (Case 6625) |
Path: Main Menu > Setup > Setup screen > Default Settings tab > Tools icon drop-down list > Maintain Policies > Browse Policies screen > Policy IGNORMTW: Ignore the MTW Tiered rent calculation ...
| 4. | The Unit Information screen, accessible from the Tenant Detail screen, has a US Postal Service (USPS) abbreviation-completion feature on the Street Address field. This feature automatically reformats street addresses, in certain cases, to match USPS standards. |
We have now added a policy in Setup that allows your agency to turn this feature off. If the policy is set to False, addresses will not be reformatted, but will be retained as entered. (Case 7030)
Path: Main Menu > Setup > Setup screen > Default Settings tab > Tools icon drop-down list > Maintain Policies > Browse Policies screen > Policy USPSAbbv: Turn on or off USPS abbreviation ...
Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Main tab > Unit Information icon > Unit Information screen

Path: Main Menu > Certification > Browse Certifications screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Finalize Certification icon
| 2. | For agencies using Scribe, a problem would sometimes occur in ORC in the Finalize Certification Wizard, on Step 3: Security Deposit. For those clients, the "Setup the Security Deposit for Receivables" checkbox on Step 3 would always be checked, even when not needed. We have corrected this, so that this checkbox is now checked by default only when the tenant is moving into a new unit. (Case 6876) |
Path: Main Menu > Certification > Browse Certifications screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Finalize Certification icon
