CAPPS Financials Changes

  • Add view-only access to user preferences for agency level 1s. (SR-60016)
  • Add PCA as a key field for EDIPARMS so vouchers can be properly coded when sent from USAS to CAPPS. (SR-60085)
  • Create a new role for access to the PC_BU_DEFN component. (SR-60361)
  • Decommission the reporting environments. (SR-61576)
  • Add new code to the CAPPS to USAS interface so that if a document exceeds the current batch sequence or amount limits, it will be broken up into additional batches. Generate an error message if the total amount or batch count exceeds the limits from a single GL journal or batch. (SR-61789)
  • Update the TX_TREA_USAS job to accommodate different T-codes and properly record cash transactions. (SR-63170)

  • Modify save edits to not allow duplicate USAS document numbers in CAPPS AP. (SR-64936)
  • Performance tuning for the TX_DPS_OUT job. (SR-65383)

CAPPS HR/Payroll Changes

  • Trigger a fatal error when trying to enter a full month of leave of absence in Job Data for dual or concurrent employees so that full months of LOA can be managed in Time and Labor. (SR-60010)
  • Newly created agency unclassified job codes will automatically flow to and populate the job code table in USPS so that manual setup intervention is not required. (SR-60124)
  • Base the benefit program participation effective date on eligibility and not on job data effective date upon changes in work hours so that the employee's pre-tax medical insurance deduction is correct on their paycheck. (SR-60298)
  • Update the TXTAX810 report to only include active records. (SR-65404)
  • Restrict access to performance management data within CAPPS Query Manager so that query data is limited to only performance documents associated with the user’s current agency. (SR-65477)
  • Delete roles for terminated employees after two years for all scenarios, including those with multiple effective sequences, to protect the system from users who no longer need access. (SR-65667)
  • The Update/Display All, Include History, and Correct History buttons on the FMLA leave inquiry component will not be displayed so that buttons that are not functionally needed on a page are not visible. (SR-66209)
  • There will no longer be issues with workflow approvals when Query Statistics is turned on. (SR-66322)
  • A termination entry for the primary job of a concurrent employee will now save successfully and inactivate both the primary and secondary jobs so that separate termination entries for both the primary and secondary job rows are not required. (SR-66338)
  • “From” and “to” date prompts were added as criteria for the TX_TL_AUDIT_REPORTED_TIME query so that large data sets can be restricted to a specific date range. (SR-66575)
  • Trigger an error if an attempt is made to save a new hire where “unknown” exists for the gender, to ensure the new employee is correctly identified as either male or female. (SR-66783)
