Enhancements

Path: Main Menu > Tenant > Maintain Tenants screen > Tenant Detail screen > Main tab > Rent Calculations sub-tab > MTW Flat Rent checkbox and MTW Sites field

To use this option, your agency must first set up your MTW Flat Rent Tables (including MTW sites, flat rents, and minimum rents, as needed) in Setup.

Path: Main Menu > Setup > Setup screen > Default Settings tab > Tools icon drop-down list > MTW Flat Rent Tables

Note: You must give users rights to maintain MTW Flat Rent Tables, from the Master Setup program:

Note: For more information on how to set up user security, please see the Setting Up User Security Quick Start Guide. Or, call Tenmast Support toll free at 877-359-5492.

Bug Reports

1. The "ELDAGE" policy in Setup defines the minimum age for a person to be considered elderly. The program sometimes failed to account for this setting, and this sometimes caused calculations for elderly allowance to be incorrect. This has been corrected. (Case 4453)

Path: Main Menu > Setup > Setup screen > Default Settings tab > Tools icon drop-down list > Maintain Policies

2. The amount of Tenant Rent must always be zero for a flat rent tenant. The 50058 was being printed incorrectly with the calculated Tenant Rent for flat rent tenants. This has been corrected. (Case 5568)

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

3. An error in the Community Service report prevented the filter options from working correctly, so the report sometimes returned data that should have been filtered out. This has been corrected. (Case 2002)

Path: Main Menu > Reports > Reports screen > Tenant tab

4. An error related to tenant Notes would sometimes occur when you reopened a certification. This has been corrected. (Case 6163)

Path: Main Menu > Reports > Payroll Report Menu screen > Employer tab > Process W2 Forms button

Bug Reports

1. During the first payroll check run of a new year, errors could occur related to income and deduction totals . This has been corrected. (Case 3661)

Path: Main Menu > Checks

Path: Main Menu > Setup > Payroll Setup Form screen > Settings button > Setup Income, Deductions, and Taxes screen > Comp. Distribution tab

Purchase Order

Program Version: 2.0.1.3

Program Date: 11/15/2012

Enhancements

Path: Main Menu > Requisition > Browse Requisitions screen > Maintain Requisitions screen > Wizards icon drop-down list > Add Approval Signature

Path: Main Menu > Blanket PO > Browse Blanket PO screen > Maintain Blanket PO screen > Wizards icon drop-down list > Add Approval Signature

Section 8 Tenant and Landlord

Program Version: 1.348.12.0

Program Date: 12/13/2012

Enhancements

1. We have added functionality that allows you to gather for different data areas for the same VMS month. This is done using VMS groups. The VMS gather will now allow you to gather for multiple groups in the same VMS month. To use this feature, you must create VMS groups and assign data areas to them. (Case 5233)

Path: Main Menu > Setup > Section 8 Setup screen > VMS Accounts button > VMS Account Setup screen > Edit menu: Maintain VMS Groups >Maintain VMS Group screen

Note: This change requires your agency to set up at least one VMS group before performing your next VMS gather.

2. The Add Adjustment wizard now accepts zero-dollar adjustments. This allows you to make a VMS-only UML adjustment when no HAP adjustment is needed. (Case 5244)

Path: Main Menu > Landlords > Browse Landlords screen > Maintain Landlords screen > Check Adjustments tab > Add icon

3. In the Exclude VMS Adjustments wizard, we have added the option to exclude HAP adjustments and/or exclude UML adjustments independently of each other. (Case 5245)

Path: Main Menu > VMS > Browse Voucher Management System screen > Wizards icon drop-down list > Exclude Adjustments

4. On the VMS Adjustments screen, we have enabled the Print and Preview icons on these three tabs: Voucher UML/HAP, Income/Expenses, and Disaster UML/HAP. This allows you to print the information as it appears on the screen. (Cases 3692 and 5234)

Path: Main Menu > VMS > Browse Voucher Management System screen > VMS Adjustments screen

Bug Reports

1. VMS-only adjustments were not being assigned an initialization ID during initialization. This in turn prevented them from being processed during initialization and from being included in the VMS Gather or the Update Adjustment Gather. (Case 5230) A related initialization error also prevented VMS-only adjustments from being removed from the unpaid adjustments after initialization. (Case 6306) These have been corrected.

Path: Main Menu > Initialize

2. The Abatement wizard was creating VMS Unit Month Lease adjustments, which it should not create. This has been corrected. (Case 5321)

Path: Main Menu > Tenants > Browse Tenants screen > Maintain Tenants screen > Portable tab > Wizard icon drop-down list > Incoming Abatement

3. If you voided a check that originated from Section 8 Tenant and Landlord, and if you entered a Void Date in the future, the void posted incorrectly to the Check Reconciliation program. Check Reconciliation would show the transaction date as the date you entered the void, not the future effective date. This has been corrected. (Case 1999)

Path: Main Menu > Landlords > Browse Landlords screen > Maintain Landlords screen > Check History tab > Tools icon drop-down list > Void Landlord Checks

Path: Accounts Payable program > Main Menu > Checks > Process Checks screen > Tools icon drop-down list > Void Posted Checks
