Tenant Accounts Receivable

Correction ID: RCV001197

The bank deposit report was not working correctly with multiple cash drawers in a deposit. The cash drawer balance matched the deposit as it was made, but not the total on the report. This discrepancy has been corrected.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable > Reports Menu > Payments/Deposits Tab > Bank Deposit Listing

Correction ID: RCV001306

The Monthly Summary Report in the Close Month process can hang if other users are in Tenant Accounts Receivable. This issue has been corrected.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable >Periodic >Monthly Tab >Close Month Wizard >Print out Other Reports >Monthly Summary Report

Correction ID: RCV001339

Payment Wizard > Step 1 of 3

In the first step of the Payment Wizard, the default payment type can be lost by clicking elsewhere on the form. If you click on the Payment Date for example, it will blank out the Type of Payment field. If you do not catch the 'blank field' when entering the payment, you will receive an error message stating: "You must select a Payment Type". This has been corrected.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable > Receivables > F5 to take payment. 

Correction ID: RCV001358

Unable to view tenant detail with annual payments. This is only a problem when the tenant has annual recurring payments.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable >Tenant Browse >Tenant Detail 

Correction ID: RCV001355

After a change, some clients could not run the Recurring Transaction Listing in Tenant Accounts Receivable (the report would hang and never generate). The view was fixed so all future upgrades will not have any problems.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable > Reports > Receivables Tab > Recurring Transaction Listing 

Correction ID: RCV001353

Selecting unit actions to exclude when generating this report were not working. This has been corrected.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable > Reports > Units tab > Vacant Unit Listing report 

Enhancement ID: RCV001350

Added a new column to the Account Summary tab of Tenant Accounts Receivable that displays the Prepayment Amount so the user can see non-zero balance accounts. Adding the Prepayment Amount to the grid makes it more obvious that there is a balance on the account, which is better than allowing the user to inactivate the account and then getting the error message - "This Account cannot be inactivated because the balance is not zero." This usually happens when the user tries to inactivate an escrow account and they are not aware that the account does not have a zero balance.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable > Maintain Tenant Leases > Account Summary tab (preferred)

or

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable > Receivables (Customer) > Account Summary tab 

Correction ID: RCV001349

When you try to finish the Statement Export wizard, a problem was causing the user to receive a greybox error stating, "Error of data export: Property DBGrid is not specified." This has been corrected.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable >Periodic Processing > Monthly Tab > Generate Statements 

Enhancement ID: RCV001346

You can now include all vacant units when printing the Unit Status with Open Offers report.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable > Reports Menu > Unit Tab > Unit Status With Open Offers

Correction ID: RCV001307

When you inactivate a Tenant Accounts Receivable account tied to a lease and recurring rent, no message pops up indicating what the implications are. As a result, the tenant information will not display an ‘A’ (which is used to indicate the lease is active on the rental register) and rent will not generate on this tenant when the Generate Monthly transactions process is run. This has been corrected to prevent this and a message has been added that will inform you about the consequences of inactivating the account. When you try to inactivate the account, it checks to make sure that the current account isn’t tied to the current lease before it can be detected.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable > Tenant > Account Summary tab > Inactivating accounts 

Enhancement ID: RCV001235

A date range has been added to the Payment History tab under the Customer/Leases screen. This date range will help control the view on the screen as well as the Payment History Listing that is available from the Payment History tab.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable >Maintain Tenant Leases > Payment History Tab > Screen and Report (Payment History Listing)  

or

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable >Receivables > Payment History Tab > Screen and Report (Payment History Listing)

Enhancement ID: RCV001215

On the Transaction History Screen, the user would like to see a unique identifier for each transaction on the account details screen and any reports such as the transaction history report that display transaction details, which would also need to be available on the statements. The RecTransID is available on the statements for Statement printing.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable > Maintain Tenant Leases > Account Details Tab > Transaction History Screen

or  

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable > Reports > Receivable Tab > Daily Activity Summary Report

or

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable > Periodic > Monthly Tab > Close Month Wizard > Print Out Other Reports > Monthly Summary Report 

Correction ID: RCV001050

An Active Lease Required flag has been added to all of the Recurring Transaction Wizards in the program. This will allow you to set a charge (for example) that will continue automatically until the tenant moves out of the unit. A Maximum Amount box has also been added to the Add Recurring Transfer Wizard.

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable >Maintain Tenant Leases > Recurring Transaction Tab

or

Path: Tenant Accounts Receivable >Receivables (Customer Browse) > Recurring Transaction Tab

Path:  Occupancy and Rent Calculation > Tenants > Add New Tenant

Correction ID: ORC001522

The last passed inspection and last inspection dates were being returned incorrectly into the Certification wizard. Changed the program to pull the correct dates.

Path: Occupancy and Rent Calculation > Certification Wizard

Section 8 Desktop Inspections

Correction ID: INS8000256

The Section 8 Inspections certification wizard was calling a program that returned incorrect inspection dates as a result of changes made to the Occupancy and Rent Calculation program, which had previously been getting the wrong dates. This has been corrected.

Path:  Section 8 Desktop Inspections > Inspection > Schedule Inspection 

Correction ID: INS8000247

Path: Section 8 T&L > Forms

Correction ID: SS8001077

Users are unable to delete hold codes once they are created. Also if "P" is selected as a hold code, it doesn't hold the check. Added the ability to delete a hold code after it has been created. Also added a pop-up and printed report to let the user know who is using the hold code. Also, does not allow the user to delete a hold code that is being used. Put an error check when inserting hold codes that will not allow the user to select "P" as a hold code, because it is used by Section 8 to mark amounts as paid. Added a delete button.

Path: Setup >Check Hold Codes > Maintain Check Hold Codes

Requirement ID: SS8001090

HUD released a new version of form 52665. Updated this form.

Work Orders

Correction ID: WO000440

An employee entering multiple labor time records must enter those records in chronological order since the system will not automatically sort them by chronological order. If the work orders are not entered correctly, it results in problems when the work order is closed out because it may not be closing out the order using the date from the latest labor record. This problem has been corrected.

Path: Work Orders > Add Work Orders/ Edit Work Orders > Employee Tab      

Correction ID: WO000444

The Crew option is not appearing when browsing the work order. You have to go in and edit the job code before you can see it; but once it's changed, and all edits are done, the Crew option cannot be seen on any of the available screens in the work order. This has been corrected. Added the Crew drop-down to view the crews assigned to the work order.

Path: Work Orders > Maintain Work Orders > Service Request Detail tab

Consumable Inventory

Correction ID: CI000238

Public Housing Desktop Inspections

Correction ID: INPH000214

When accessing the calendar to add an inspection, it was linking to the logged in users id, but any added tasks were not showing in their calendar. This has been corrected so that it adds new scheduled inspections to the selected inspector's calendar.

Path: Public Housing Inspection > Inspection > Schedule Inspection 

and

Path: Public Housing Inspection > Edit/Delete > Browse Inspections > Wizard Hat > Click on the Reschedule
