Feature:

Comp Tax

Issue #:

239858

Feature:

Comp Tax Check Type Modifications - ACH and Wire Transfer

Issue #:

238365

Change:

When the ACH Check Type is selected, the Pay Comp Tax screen now validates the ACH setup for the Comp Tax Vendor and selected Bank Cash Account. Validation is consistent with entering AP invoices from the main invoice entry screen.

Wire Transfer is now a selectable Check Type on the Pay Comp Tax screen. The build process correctly assigns the next Wire Transfer Reference Numbers to the generated invoices, and it updates the Wire Transfer Reference Number history log.

Reason:

These changes create continuity between the core system and the Comp Tax functionality. With the inclusion of the Wire Transfer Check Type, districts can select this option without needing to edit the invoices after they are generated.

Feature:

AP Invoice Locking Issue

Issue #:

239715

Change:

Changed search in comp tax program to better handle non-indexed field and prevent unnecessary exclusive-locks in AP.

Reason:

AP invoice screen creates a Database lock on the invoice master table and users are forced to wait until the other users are done updating before the lock is released.

Feature:

Comp Tax and Fiscal Year Selection

Issue #:

238365

Change:

Users are now able to select the fiscal year when generating a Comp Tax invoice to the Department of Revenue.

Reason:

Release:

Version 04.11.10.00.04, November 5, 2011

Feature:

Allow Other Payment Options When Creating Comp Tax Generated Invoices

Issue #:

236152

Change:

There are new fields on from the Comp Tax Selection screen that allows users to determine the Bank Cash Account and Check Type for the Comp Tax Generated invoice to the Department of Revenue before the invoice is generated. This will allow districts to choose to pay their Comp Tax with a different cash account than the one that was used to find invoices with comp tax.

Reason:

Districts need to be able to select a different bank cash account and check type for the invoice that is generated for the Department of Revenue to pay Comp Tax without having to edit the generated invoice.

Release:

Version 04.11.10.00.04, November 5, 2011

Feature:

Comp Tax Generated Invoice Report

Issue #:

240443

Change:

Fixed the report parameters to include invoices within a range even if there is only one invoice that meets the criteria.

Reason:

The report parameters were leaving out an invoice if only one invoice met the specified parameter criteria.  If multiple invoices met the criteria, they would all correctly be included in the report.

Release:

Version 04.10.12.00.04, February 5, 2011

Feature:

Comp Tax Generated Invoice Report is now Handling Void Invoices Correctly

Issue #:

234298

Change:

The Comp Tax Generated Invoice Report was modified so that it correctly handles voids. Previously, the Taxable Amount column was showing a positive amount for a void when that value should have been negative.

Reason:

The value in the Taxable Amount column for a void invoice was showing a positive amount, when it should have been showing a negative amount. This was causing the totals to be incorrect by twice the Taxable Amount value for that invoice.

Release:

Version 04.10.12.00.04, February 5, 2011

Feature:

Generated Comp Tax Invoice Now Populating Subtotal Field Correctly

Issue #:

233595

Change:

A modification was made to the Generated Comp Tax Invoice so that the Subtotal field is populated correctly.

Reason:

The Generated Comp Tax Invoice Subtotal field was not being populated with an amount at the time of invoice generation. This created the potential for issues because when the invoice was opened, the system would then populate the Subtotal field.  However, if the invoice was in Open status, this population of the Subtotal field upon opening it, caused a Reversal condition.  Therefore the source Invoices were incorrectly associated.

Release:

Version 04.09.06.02.01, December 5, 2009

Feature:

Incorrect amount when a Comp Tax invoice is generated with a voided AP check

Issue #:

219875

Change:

The Generate Comp Tax process has been corrected so that it no longer updates FFAPIM-AMT with a negative value when dealing with Void invoices.

Reason:

The update process was incorrectly updating FFAPIM-AMT with a negative value. This was causing the invoice to show up on the Fix AP History Invoices Audit.

Version 04.09.02.00.01, May 9, 2009

Feature:

Comp Tax (Tax Rates Table) Modification

Issue #:

213895

Change:

Feature:

Comp Tax Build Process Calculation Correction

Issue #:

208299

Change:

The calculations for Void invoices with multiple taxable lines were corrected in the Comp Tax build process.

Reason:

The Comp Tax build process calculates a total higher than what is accrued if a Void with multiple taxable lines exists. In this condition, districts overpay the Department of Revenue.

Release:

Version 03.07.10.01.04, July 12, 2008

Feature:

Comp Tax Reporting Totals Calculation Correction

Issue #:

203961

Change:

Changed the calculations in the Comp Tax Reporting Totals report so that voided invoices are correctly subtracted from the totals in the Taxable Amt column.

Reason:

The report was adding the voided invoices instead of subtracting them, causing the Taxable Amt and Tax due values to be incorrect and the report to not balance back to the checks.

Release:

Version 03.07.10.00.03, January 12, 2008

Feature:

Comp Tax is incorrect if AP invoice is Voided or Re-Issued

Issue #:

52133

Change:

Voided AP Invoices with Comp Tax (CT) should carry negative CT amount toward the CT Invoice issued to Dep.of Revenue

Reason:

During Void or\and Re-issued, standard AP Invoice w\CT information, along with association to the CT Invoice was copied over, thus making it 'Already Paid' to Department of Revenue.

Release:

Version 02.05.06.3, February 4, 2006

Feature:

WESPaC Comp Tax (calculation on voided and re-issued warrants)

Remedy Ticket:

74531

Change:

Changed the calculation of compensating tax amount so that voided or voided and re-issued warrants do not create a double compensating tax payment.

Reason:

In WESPaC, if a warrant was voided and if the associated AP Invoice included comp tax, the comp tax generation code did not accurately back out the comp tax. This created duplicate compensating tax payments, or overstated compensating tax owed.

Release:

Version 02.05.06.2, November 5, 2005

Feature:

Comp Tax on Invoices

Remedy Ticket:

73278

Change:

When an invoice is generated, the user is not given the opportunity to select the fiscal year.  In the generation process, the fiscal year was being selected from a control table that does not update the fiscal year until End of Year processes are run.  The change is to select the current fiscal year instead of the fiscal year Skyward is operating under.

Reason:

Comp tax being applied to incorrect year.

Release:
