Contact the CAPPS Product Team at CAPPS.Product.Team@cpa.texas.gov with questions or for additional information.

CAPPS Financials Changes

  • SR 30932: The issue causing the ‘Override USAS 1099 Withholding Indicator’ flag to be deselected during the save process when adding a new supplier has been fixed. When this field is selected, it will now remain checked upon saving.
  • SR 31769: Custom page used by security teams has been updated with a postal code field edit to ensure accurate data.
  • SR 31857: The functionality that validates if the asset account used on a purchase order is appropriate for the stated price has been expanded to work from the Maintain Distributions page.
  • SR 31938: The functionality to delete HX Recycle transactions was previously removed, however the ‘delete’ option from the HX Mass Archive run control page remained in place. This has now been removed to prevent confusion.
  • SR 32186: Fixed the issue impacting CAPPS Hub agencies that are missing view definition PS_GS_PNLSEC_VW.
  • SR 32255: The CAPPS to SPA Interface will no longer load retired assets with a blank accounting date to the staging tables. These transactions will instead be loaded the following days after depreciation is calculated (either manually or ad-hoc) preventing interface failures.
  • SR 32573: The Budget Journal Load template has been updated to allow for longer descriptions (up to 254 characters) and prevent truncation.
  • SR 32870: An edit has been placed to ensure the operator ID present on the Voucher Upload spreadsheet is valid, preventing the loading of these vouchers in recycle status which requires a SQL update to fix. Instead, these vouchers will load to the Quick Invoice page where corrections can be made.

CAPPS HR/Payroll Changes

  • SR 33027: The TX_FY_JOB processes now produce predictable results so that the W-4 data is updated accurately during the FYE processing.
  • SR 34670: The Payroll Interface now accounts for multiple rows belonging to the same employee, so that it processes valid data without abending.
  • SR 35505: Managers can now view pending time certification for direct reports on the MSS Time Certification page so that only current time certification for an agency is viewable.
  • SR 38192: The SPRS outbound file now processes address changes without flagging them erroneously so that the SPRS audit report trailer counts are accurate, and the file will process successfully.
  • SR 40370: The rollup/rolldown process now updates position and job information for all employees reporting to a supervisor who has vacated their position so that processes dependent on an active supervisor will work appropriately.
  • SR 45134: Edits now fire appropriately when trying to increase time on leave entries already processed and in submitted (SB) status, so that the increase is not saved erroneously.
