Version 9.2.0.2 Green - March 30, 2015

AccuBuild Mobile – Beta Version Update

The Configuration Settings File for AccuBuild Mobile (Beta Version) has a new setting for the Server section as follows:

[Server]

SessionTimeOut = 60;  

The new setting represents the number of minutes BEFORE a session will time out for a mobile connection.  When the timeout occurs, a new login is required to enter the mobile application again.  The default timeout setting is 30 minutes.

Job Cost – Estimate Import Enhancement

•A new framework was added to the Estimate Import Screen for the Create Estimate Button in order to allow tailored script solutions to be incorporated into the import process so that the import data can be altered and/or updated prior to posting the data to the estimate detail.  This will allow for import files to be altered with a tailored solution based on the Company SQL Script library.  The new script class for this framework is 102010.

BUG FIX – MAR Job Cost Reports

•The MAR Report entitled “Job Cost Capsheet Including Unposted Expenses” had a SQL Script error that was preventing the un-posted payroll transactions from being included in the report. This problem has been corrected.

•The SQL Script for the MAR Contract Status Reports was updated to fix an issue where linked jobs were not included in the report totals when the closed Jobs option was selected.  The temporary work around was to choose ALL Jobs for the report, and this problem has now been corrected in this release.  

Payroll – New MAR Report for Mobile Tablet timesheets with pictures

•A new time card worksheet report was added for the time that is entered via the mobile timecard tablet application which includes both the rounded clock time and the actual clock time on the same report.  This report will be useful for payroll time audits.  The new report is entitled:

PRREP19B.642 - Time Card Worksheet Entries - Pictures - Actual Time

BUG FIX – Payroll

•The new feature where direct deposit checks could be eliminated from the automatic check batch was causing issues when you attempt to void a direct deposit check.  The problem was that the new direct deposit check numbers are automatically number by the system using check numbers above 700,000,000 and the screen was not allowing a check number that big to be voided.  

Note: This issue has been corrected.  This same issue was also corrected on the Hand Written Check Input Screen.

BUG FIX - MAR AP Aging Schedule

•A bug existed on the MAR A/P Aging schedule for aging reports that were reconstructed for a prior period and contained invoices that had been voided.  This problem has been corrected in this release.

Document Management – Employee List

•The Document List on the Employee list was modified to improve speed performance on displaying the folders and documents.

MAR Reports – Enhancements

•The MAR Report List has been updated to enhance the speed performance of building the report list by optimizing the SQL Script used to build the secured list of reports based on user ID and Group IDs that the user belongs to.

•The MAR Report Security Settings Screen has been updated to enhance the speed performance for updating report security settings. A new “Refresh” Button has been added at the top of the screen and a refresh status label has been added at the bottom of the screen so that security settings can be updated without the need to refresh the security setting on the screen.  Each time a security setting is made, the refresh counter will be incremented to indicate that the security update was processed.  Pushing the Refresh Button will refresh the security settings on the screen and reset the refresh counter to zero.  This will help to speed up the security setting process for MAR Reports.

•A new pop-up menu option has been added to the MAR Report Screen for handling maintenance on the User and Group Security Records entitled “Run Security Maintenance on Users / Groups”.  Basically this routine will remove any obsolete user and group security records for users and or groups that are no longer set up in the company.  Running this maintenance is important for keeping the report and folder queries optimized for speed by reducing the number of records that are no longer used for security purposes.

Note: This process should be carried out whenever users or groups are removed from the system OR when a company backup is moved to a new company.  A complete audit of the maintenance process will be displayed when the process is completed and this step may take several minutes depending on the number of security records.

•A second new pop-up menu option was also added to the MAR Report Screen for tracking SQL audit trails entitled “Show SQL on Report Refresh”.  When the option is checked and the “Refresh View” option is selected, a text file will be generated showing the original script for building the report list and the new improved script which can be used by AccuBuild Consultants for benchmark comparisons.

Payroll – Direct Deposit Enhancements

•The Direct Deposit Check Sequencing has been updated to use a unique sequence number for each payroll run instead of repeating the same number for each employee.  Previously, the system was numbering the direct deposit checks with the number 700,000,000 + the value of the employee number.  The new numbering method will start with the next available number that is greater than 700,000,000 in order to keep each direct deposit check number unique for every payroll run.

•The Reprint Checks option for automatic payroll check runs will now exclude any direct deposit check numbers greater than 700,000,000 since these are numbered automatically by the system.

Payroll – MAR Report Updates

•The Employee Direct Deposit statements have been updated in the MAR Report Library in order to work correctly with the new automatic check numbering feature for direct deposit checks where the check numbers are very large (greater than 700,000,000).  The links on the data pipes were adjusted to remove the check number (“check_no”) field from the links as this preventing the information from displaying properly.
