Release Notes: 05/06/16

Whats New Version ∞2016.5.06:

  • The British currency symbol “£” will now show instead of the United States “$” symbol in the invoice register for UK clients.
  • Added the same Activity Tracker functionality that was in Enterprise to the WebCenter Employee Calendar page. The calendar will display the activity status for each day, if there is an activity status for a particular day. The employee will be able to create a recurring availability from the main calendar page. The employee will also be able to create a single day availability by double clicking on a specific day on the calendar. The employee will be able to manage their current availabilities by double clicking on days that already have an availability status. If the day belongs to a recurring availability they will have the option of managing the whole recurrence or just that particular days availability.
  • In an effort to eliminate the duplicate check number issue that can be caused by multiple people running payroll at the same time for the same bank, we now limit one payroll run to be numbering checks at a time for a particular bank. This means if person 1 is about to process payroll for Bank A and person 2 is already on the payroll summary page and about to number checks for Bank A, Enterprise will now block person 1 from getting to payroll summary step will be forced to wait until person 2 has either finished or closed the payroll wizard screen. In the event where person 2 does close the screen, person 1’s payroll wizard will open up and load the payroll summary page to the next available check number to use. This is done automatically, but there are some things to note with this:
    • This will ONLY block a person if multiple payroll runs are using the same BankID and are also at the payroll summary page at the same time. Meaning if Person 1 was using Bank A and Person 2 was instead using Bank B, neither person will be stopped and everything will operate as normal.
    • Enterprise will display a green loading bar telling the user what payroll run ID is holding them up during this waiting period.
    • This also affects the “Print a payroll run” area. We are aware that the screen looks a bit odd as of now and will be fixed to look better soon.
    • If Enterprise were to crash when a user is on the payroll summary screen, payroll runs that were waiting on that run in front of them to finish, will be stuck waiting for now. If this does happen, users can cancel out of their run, open the run that they were waiting on, and either finish or close it to make theirs available to print checks.
    • Users will not have to wait for the first payroll run to finish printing before they can begin their run.

Enterprise:

  • Fixed a wait operation time out error that could occur when viewing invoices in the invoice register.
  • Previously, when a supervisor would be removed from an order their ID would be removed but not their name. The name field is searchable under Assignment Enhanced search, which would then return false positive search results for the specified supervisor. Now, when a supervisor is removed from an order their name will also be removed.
  • The LA mag media was previously not including skill codes when it wasn’t run at system level. Now it will.
  • If someone changes marital status throughout the year they might have USS and USM taxes but they are linked to the same premployeetax ID and they are added together on the W2.  When you view a check in Enterprise, the YTD column was only pulling by juris, not by compatible juris.  This was confusing people because it made their YTD totals look wrong.
  • After deleting an invoice correction, you would previously get an error message when editing the same transaction that you had edited originally. Now you won’t get an error.
  • Added an error to the payroll calculation procedure (sPayrollRun) to check that any of the hours fields on any time card in the payroll run is between -1000 and 1000 hours.
  • Running subpaycons runs will now update TxnsMaxBranchName correctly. This was previously not updating at all in some cases.  
  • Document types under Employee > Documents > Upload new file > Document Type drop down are now ordered alphabetically
  • Added Fulton County with Macy City to zip code 46951. This means you can choose Fulton County as an employee’s county tax for Indiana.
  • Fixed an error that would occur when previewing a check stub email and double clicking on the attachment in the email.
  • The document type drop down will no longer display nothing when editing an existing document.
  • We applied an update to the PDF viewer to prevent random crashes that would occur when attaching a PDF timecard image with multiple pages on it.
  • Sometimes when viewing the employee details page, you would be asked to save your changes even though you didn’t make any changes. Now you won’t be asked that when not making changes.
  • Marking a check as a live check will now remove that check from the manage paycards area.

Taxes:

  • AL now requires box 12 code DD information on their annual W2 mag media file.  We modified the [EOY_Mag_MMREF1_AL] proc to grab that information. 
  • Fixed a rare issue that could cause the Meg media for CA to come up empty for CA SUTA wages.
  • Indiana local taxes are now calculated more accurately when personal exemptions and dependent deductions are taken into account.

HrCenter:

  • Fixed an issue in the form builder, where the name displayed in the properties sidebar wouldn’t change when switching between two radio buttons.
  • We now don’t allow trailing spaces in workflow names. Workflow Names can only contain spaces, letters and numbers and must begin and end with a letter or number.
  • The forms area was previously showing the display name instead of the private name. The area was meant to display the private name and now will going forward.

  • The branch will no longer delete itself when editing steps on a workflow.

WebCenter:

  • The problem was that if an order had a timeclock assignment associated with it and had a cost code, it would not update the ctxns record with hours. We added code to the TimeClock_SavePunch proc to set the cost code column on timeclock_punch table to the order's cost code if there was no cost code passed to the proc. Now the cost code on the punches will match the cost code on the order/ctxns record and the hours will added correctly.
