Accounts Payable

Program Version: 2.0.1.1

Program Date: 4/24/2012

Bug  Report

1. When processing checks and marking items to pay, the Tag All option sometimes failed to tag all of the invoices. This has been corrected. (Case 1281)

Path:  Main Menu > Checks > Process Checks screen > Step 4: Select Items to Pay > Select and Mark Items to Pay screen > Tag All (F2) button

Applicant List

Program Version: 1.136.12.0

Program Date: 5/15/2012

Bug Reports

1. When you add an applicant, the system checks whether the applicant (based on Social Security Number) is already in your data. If the applicant is, then Step 3 of the Add Applicant wizard lets you choose to use the existing applicant and household number or to create a new household with a different household number and different SSN.

If you do not choose to create a new household, the wizard prevents you from finishing until you return to Step 1 and enter a different SSN. If you did this and then finished the wizard, an error would cause the new applicant to have the previous applicant's household number. This in turn would cause the previous applicant's household information to appear for the new applicant. This error has been corrected. (Case 3165)

Path: Main Menu > Applicants > Browse Applicants screen > Add icon

2. If the Singles Rule was applied to a waiting list, there was a long delay before that list would display on the Process Waiting List screen. We have improved the speed of displaying a waiting list with the Singles Rule applied. (Case 3390)

Path: Main Menu > Waiting Lists > Process Waiting List screen

Fixed Assets

Program Version: 1.1.4.1

Program Date: 4/3/2012

Bug Report

1. If you were transferring more than one asset, Step 2 (Account Class) of the Transfer Asset wizard would sometimes be blank after you completed the wizard the first time. This has been corrected. (Case 2506)

Path: Main Menu > Assets > Browse Assets screen > Maintain Assets screen > Main tab or Location tab > Wizard icon drop-down list > Transfer Asset

2. When you disposed of an asset, an error would sometimes appear incorrectly, referencing "... GL Account not open for posting ..." This has been corrected. (Case 2264)

Path: Main Menu > Assets > Browse Assets screen > Maintain Assets screen > Main tab > Wizard icon drop-down list > Dispose Asset

Occupancy and Rent Calculation

Program Version: 1.137.12.1

Program Date: 5/16/2012

Requirements

1. Based on HUD's requirements for transitioning Disaster Housing Assistance Program-Ike (DHAP-Ike) families to the Housing Choice Voucher program, we have added "Ike to HCV Conversion Special Program" to the Special Programs in ORC. (Case 2373)

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

2. For multi-racial TRACS tenants, you can now select more than one race for a TRACS household member. (Please note that the printed 50059 will print only as many race codes as will fit in the Race field on pages 2 and 3.) (Case 2619)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Household tab > Race field: Multi-Racial

3. ORC now allows minimum rents greater than $50. This is in response to a number of agencies being allowed to charge more that $50 in minimum rent. (Case 3359)

Path: Main Menu > Setup > Setup screen > Default Settings tab > Minimum Rent field

4. The Tenant Income Certification form is now available to print for public housing tenants and will properly reflect all Tax Credit data that is available. (Case 3366)

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

Enhancements

1. In the Begin Certification Wizard, we have added the VMS Voucher Type field to Step 2 (Select Unit Information). This enhancement allows you to view the VMS type of the voucher you are selecting. (Case 2029)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Add icon > Begin Certification Wizard

Path: Main Menu > Certification > Browse Certifications screen > Add icon > Batch Certifications screen > Existing Tenant Single Certification > Begin Certification Wizard

2. When you start a Move-In certification for a TRACS tenant, the program will now set default values for the following required fields: Subsidy, Contract Number, Worksheet, Pre '81, Previous, and Displaced. (Case 1508)

Path: Main Menu > Certification > Browse Certifications screen > Tenant Detail screen > Main tab > Rent Calculations sub-tab

Bug Reports

1. If your agency had selected the policy option in Setup to mask Social Security Numbers, the program failed to mask them when you printed certification documents from the Begin Certification Wizard or the Finalize Certification Wizard. This has been corrected. (Case 2844)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab > Add icon > Begin Certification Wizard

Path: Main Menu > Certification > Browse Certifications screen > Add icon > Batch Certifications screen > Existing Tenant Single Certification > Begin Certification Wizard

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

2. For TRACS tenants, when you completed a Unit Transfer/Change of Unit certification or a Gross Rent Change certification, the program would update household member ages, which was incorrect. This in turn could cause Total Tenant Payment (TTP) and Tenant Rent to change, again incorrectly, if a member was changed from a youth to an adult in the process. This has been corrected, so that household member ages do not change for TRACS households during Unit Transfer/Change of Unit and Gross Rent Change certifications. (Case 1707)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Household tab

3. The program would incorrectly allow a child care expense if there was no minor child in the household. This has been corrected. (Case 358)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Expenses tab

4. The Homeownership calculation fields were not visible after the 2.155.0.81 Enhancement Release. This has been corrected. (Case 3337)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Main tab > Rent Calculations sub-tab

5. If you added a Misc. Accounting adjustment to a TRACS voucher and then tried to delete that adjustment, the program returned an error referencing "not a valid integer value." This has been corrected. (Case 1638)

Path: Main Menu > Voucher > Maintain Vouchers screen > Voucher Review screen > Voucher Detail tab

6. If the Utility Allowance Profile selected for a tenant used more than ten user defined utilities, the total utility allowance was being calculated incorrectly on Form HUD-52667. (This was an issue only on the printed form.) This has been corrected. (Case 1430)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Main tab > Reports Menu icon > Tenant Reports screen > Form HUD-52667

7. The calculation of 30% of Monthly Adjusted Income was sometimes incorrect due to a rounding error. This has been corrected. (Case 779)

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

8. For TRACS tenants, when a MAT 70 Unit Transfer eTrans is created, a MAT 40 eTrans is also created automatically in ORC. If the MAT 70 eTrans was deleted, the program would not delete the MAT 40 eTrans, which would cause problems when creating adjustments. This has been corrected, so that ORC now deletes any MAT 40 eTrans created as a result of a MAT 70 Unit Transfer, if that MAT 70 Unit Transfer eTrans is deleted. (Case 1561)

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

9. Certification effective dates and statuses were sometimes changed when certifications were reopened, put on hold, and then removed from hold. We have made changes in this release to minimize this problem and are continuing to address the issue. (Case 3011)

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Certifications tab

Purchase Orders

Program Version: 1.58.0.0

Program Date: 3/30/2011

Bug Report

1. We corrected two errors related to receiving PO items. (Case 2798)

Path: Main Menu > Receive PO > Maintain Open Orders screen > Wizard icon drop-down list > Add Received Items

A. When you received items in a PO that were taxable and that required a unit measure conversion (such as multiple items within a case or box), the tax calculated for each item was too high. Each item within a case, for example, was assigned the tax amount for the entire case. This has been corrected.

B. On receiving a PO, the system was not correctly updating Last Item Price, Issue Cost, and Receipt Cost in the Consumable Inventory program. This has been corrected.

Path: Consumable Inventory Main Menu > Items > Browse Consumable Inventory Items screen > Maintain Consumable Inventory Items screen > Main tab
