Summary Report Variance

On the Bank Reconciliation Summary Report, the Variance between the Adjusted Balance per Bank and the General Ledger Ending Balance was off by the amount of the cleared journal entry. This issue only occurred when the user ran the report without first saving the reconciliation and has been corrected.

EFIN-62151

GL Balance in Bank Reconciliation

When calculating the GL Balance for bank reconciliation, the calculation must allow for multiple cash accounts.  When multiple cash accounts are specified, the GL Balance is the sum of balances for the specified accounts.  Prior to this update, if multiple accounts were set up for the bank, an error message  "The general ledger fiscal year entered contains multiple disbursement funds or accounts for the bank account.  The general ledger balance cannot be calculated and will show as zero." was displayed and the GL balance was set to zero.

EFIN-62152

Bank Reconciliation Deposits and Checks

When loading Bank Reconciliation deposits and checks, the system looks at the interfund accounts for the disbursement fund defined in the Interfund Balance Accounts table, in addition to the cash account specified in the bank table.

EFIN-62452

Employee Timecard Status Report

The PowerSchool ERP Timecard Status Report, accessed via the menu option Human Resources > Reports > Employee Timesheets, was generating incorrect information. For example, an employee was reported as having logged 39.00 hours in Employee Timesheets but when viewed in ETS, the actual hours were 42.75 hours.

The problem was identified and the program is modified to report the correct information.

EFIN-62533

The validation of the disbursement fund for TX on batch payables for period 13 of a prior year is not corrected.

  3. Verify that the vendor number exists

  4. Prevent the import of an encumbrance for a negative amount

  5. Only import encumbrances for the current fiscal year

EFIN-63421
