Release Highlights

Enable BPA to read and write data from/to a file location

We have added a new BPA to support ‘read from’ and ‘write to’ text file process steps, in addition to performing file and directory functions. There is now the ability to read & write fixed length, delimited or raw data type files. Our BPA enhancements will let you expand on the possibilities of using your data and the functionality of your Aurion people and payroll solution.

See TTN-5105 in the Release Details section for further information.

Include useful Uniface Functions in function help popup

We have improved the usability of our ‘Function Help’ for Uniface Functions. The popup will now remember your last selected function, and we have also added existing functions to the online help catalogue. The function trees have also been tidied to make life work better when navigating the ‘Function Help’ pop up.

See TTN-5351 in the Release Details section for further information.

Enhance STP Payload Processing to handle stuck messages

The option has been added in this release to include the new ‘Stuck message – contact ATO’ status and user message when submitting STP payloads. Stuck messages can occur when Aurion cannot obtain the outcomes for a STP payload within 72 hours of it being submitted to the ATO. Following contact with the ATO to determine the cause of the issue, users will now be provided with the option to select the action taken to resolve this status in order to continue with your STP processing.

See AUR-22173 in the Release Details section for further information.

Expanded API Library – Claims and Leave Liability Percent

We have made some new additions to our extensive API library to make it easier to bulk add, modify and delete claims within your Aurion solution. Your organisation can now process large claims across a large number of employees in a record amount of time.

You may now also streamline updates to your leave liability configuration across multiple industry and employee awards with our new API solution. Two new API’s are now available to:

Bulk delete existing leave liability percent values and
Bulk add updated values.

This will save your team time by no longer having to manually update each set of leave liability percent values when your Finance team advises you of changes.

See AUR-20480 & AUR-22117 in the Release Details section for further information.

Component	Issue	Summary	Issue Detail
API	AUR-20480	Claim APIs	Description A customer request was received to enable the bulk processing of Claims for both Exception and Return based employees. Resolution Four new API's have been added to facilitate claims processing: CLAIM_ADD_ALLOW - Add Claim Allowance CLAIM_ADD_WORK - Add Claim Work CLAIM_DELETE - Delete Claim CLAIM_MODIFY - Modify Claim Impact Customers will benefit from the ability to bulk process Claims transactions. See Online Help or the API Reference Guide for more information.
API	AUR-22117	Provide Leave Liability Percent API's	Description A customer enhancement request was received to bulk process Award Leave Type Liability Percents. Resolution Two new API's have been added: LEAVE_LIABPC_ADD - Leave Liability Percent Add LEAVE_LIABPC_DEL - Leave Liability Percent Delete Impact Customers will gain processing efficiencies through these new API's. See 'Core Online Help' or the 'API Reference Guide PDF' for more information.
API	DRM-1444	Security: Default Error Information Disclosure	Description Default Apache 500 error messages were providing unnecessary information relating to the application version, these have been updated so that this information is now hidden. Resolution The new Tomcat installer has been configured to no longer show the Tomcat version when displaying error messages. Impact Tomcat security has been enhanced.
API	TTN-4138	APIs for competencies	Description A number of customer requests were received requesting the ability to bulk process Competencies. Resolution The following APIs to Add, Modify and Delete Competencies have been created: COMPETENCY_ADD COMPETENCY_MOD COMPETENCY_DEL Note: These API's do not allow the addition or modification of 'Training Courses that Support this Competency' or 'People who can Assess this Competency'. COMPETENCY_ADD API follows the same rules as creating the record in Core, meaning that if 'Element Full Text' and 'Abbreviated Text' are left blank, they will auto-populate with the contents of 'Competency Text'. Also if left blank 'Status' will default to 'Active'. Impact Three new API's have been added to Aurion Core, designed to Add, Modify and Delete Competency Codes. See 'Core Online Help' or the 'API Reference Guide' for more information.
API	TTN-5320	Update Org Unit APIs to respect BR01306	Description Previously, Org Unit Add (ORD_ADD) and Org Unit Modify (ORG_MODIFY) APIs were not correctly checking whether Business Rule 01306 - 'Mandatory for Org Unit' setting was selected. Selecting this option ensured a Primary Cost Code was included when creating or modifying an Org Unit. Resolution A software change has been made to ensure that Org Unit Add and Org Unit Modify APIs accurately check Business Rule 01306 when validating to determine whether the Primary Cost Code field is mandatory. Impact Customers will benefit from better improved adherence to Business Rule 01306 when creating or modifying Org Units via APIs.
API	TTN-5327	Add APIs for Test Results	Description A customer request was received to create and modify Professional Development Test Results (EC115_TEST_RESULTS) in bulk. Resolution Three new APIs have been added: TEST_RESULT_ADD TEST_RESULT_MOD TEST_RESULT_DEL See Online Help for more detailed API field information. Impact Customers now have the ability to bulk Add, Modify and Delete 'Test Result' records via API.
BPA	TTN-5105	Enable BPA to Read and Write Data from/to a File Location	Description Previously, BPA lacked the ability to read and write text file records. Resolution BPA functionality has been enhanced to support new 'read from' and 'write to' text file process steps, including the ability to process fixed length, delimited or raw data type files. When working with Delimited files, both read and write steps include options to specify column delimiter, field wrapper, plus an option to skip or include the header row. The Write step appends to a temporary file located according to the TMP setting in the ASN file. The write step also includes a Close option which writes the output file to the specified path and then deletes the temporary file. Impact Customers will benefit from the improved capability of BPA Read and Write steps. See the Core Help - Event Ruleset Process Reference page for more information on these new features.
BPA	TTN-5363	Advanced text wrapping for 'Read File', BPA element (11.86)	Description The BPA Read element did not previously accomodate for delimited files which were not strictly wrapped. Resolution Aurion's Text Driver has been enhanced to add a new operation, for use when a cell in a delimited file is wrapped only when (a) the cell is empty, or (b) the cell's data contains a comma. The BPA Runtime service has also been updated to use the new Text Driver operation when loading data from delimited files. Impact BPA's reading of delimited files has been enhanced to accommodate for cells which are not strictly wrapped. See 'Online Help - Event Ruleset Process Reference - Read File Contents' for further details on this change.
Claims	AUR-21958	Allow Self Service Claims Time From and Time To flexibility	Description Self Service users submitting Claims were previously prevented from entering times which spanned midnight, for example 10pm - 2am. Resolution Business Rule 02817 has been enhanced with an optional 'Times span midnight' field. When this field is used, Claims entered through Self Service will allow times to span midnight. In addition, existing overlapping time checks have been updated to accommodate this updated Business Rule functionality. See Business Rule 02817 in Core Online Help for further details. Impact Customers will benefit from the ability to allow Self Service users to enter Claim From and To times which span midnight.
Core Framework	AUR-22101	Fix text display issue when zooming placement screen comments fields	Description Customers reported text display issues when using the Placement Processing form (EC040_OCCY_PRDET) comment field 'Zoom' function. Resolution The Placement Processing form slider bar has been replaced with a line, resolving this text display issue. Impact Users can once again view zoomed Placement and HR Profile comments as expected.
Core Framework	AUR-22182	Uniface upgrade fixes picking Security Profiles causing crash	Description In some circumstances, adding a Security Profile to an Org Unit, Position or User resulted in an Aurion system crash. This occurred more frequently when resizing the 'Pick Security Profile List' window. Resolution This issue was resolved by updating to Uniface version 10.3.03.037. Also, the background colour for form EC009 was amended. Impact Customers are once again able to process and interact with Security Profiles as expected.
Core Framework	DRM-1440	Update Uniface to 10.3.03.037	Description A number of issues resulted in a crash of the Core application. After analysis, it was determined these related specifically to the current version of Uniface. Resolution To resolve these issues, it is highly recommended to upgrade to the latest Uniface version, 10.3.03.037. Impact Self-hosted customers will need to perform testing of this new Uniface version in a TEST environment, prior to deploying into Production.
Core Framework	TTN-5326	Add new modules to code types	Description Additional modules have been added to the Code Types (EC030_CODE_TYPE) 'Module' field. This was to allow better management of codes. Resolution A software change has been made to add 'BPA', 'Extend' and 'Custom' Module fields. Impact New modules are now available for selection within Code Types. This will allow easier navigation and maintenance for users who create their own tables and related codes.
Core Framework	TTN-5329	Data Store grid sorting	Description Customers experienced unexpected results when attempting to sort the Data Stores Grid Panel (EC508_STORE_LIST) or the Data Stores Item Manager grid panel (EC490_STORE_LIST). This was caused by the sort function not correctly accounting for the column's defined Answer Type. Resolution Data Stores and Data Stores Item Manager grid panels have been enhanced to enable column sorting to take into account the column's Answer Type. The following Answer Types now have data-type based sorting: Boolean Date Hours and Minutes. Money (with/without formatting) Number and Time All other Answer Types are sorted as strings. In addition, the Create/Modify Date Time Stamps, which are Control Fields and therefore do not have an Answer Type, are now sorted using date-time sorting. Impact Customers are now able to sort Data Store Grid and Item Manager Panel columns with predictable results.
Crimtrac	TTN-5322	Exclude Cancellled Checks from Generating CrimTrac Assessments	Description A customer issue was reported within the Employee CrimTrac Assessment (EV490_EMPCT_EV) process. This process triggered a new check to be performed, despite the employee already having a current and valid 'Completed' check. This specifically occurred in situations where the employee has a 'Cancelled' check recorded subsequent to the 'Completed' check. Resolution A software change has been made to exclude 'Cancelled' checks from CrimTrac Assessment. Impact The Employee CrimTrac assessment will no longer erroneously raise new CrimTrac checks for employees who have a 'Cancelled' CrimTrac check after their most recent 'Completed' check.
Election Resource Management	TTN-4992	Ability to Nominate Specific Positions in ERM	Description Previously, it was not possible for election workers to nominate positions they would prefer to work in during an election. Resolution Customers can now use the new custom field functionality in TTN-5110 to enable customers to nominate their preferred positions. See the ERM section of Online Help for more information. Impact New ERM custom fields added in TTN-5110 can now be configured by customers to hold data such as an election worker's position preferences. A custom filter can also be added to the 'Personnel Search' screen which will search the configured custom field.
Election Resource Management	TTN-5110	Update ERM to Hold Custom Election Worker Preferences	Description The Election Resource Management (ERM) module could not previously hold nor report on Custom Election Worker data fields. Resolution Several new configuration screens have been added to the ERM Configuration Workbench that allows customers to configure custom fields which contain data relating to election workers. In summary, these changes are: New Custom Fields Configuration Tab New Filters Configuration Tab New Extract Reports Configuration Tab New 'Work Preferences' Fields Added To The ERM General Configuration Tab New TEW_WORKER_MOD API to bulk modify custom fields Changes to the Generate Election Worker Batch Process Changes to the ERM Personnel List Query Popup The above also provides the ability to set some custom fields as searchable filters on the 'Personnel Search' screens. Note: The configuration and movement of existing election worker data into the new custom fields will be performed by a fixup program during the upgrade process. Impact A number of customisable fields have been added to the T720_TEW_WORKER table which holds data about individual election workers. These fields can hold the following types of data: General Code, Answer Code, Date, Text (100 characters max), and Long Text (1000 characters max). These custom fields behave similarly to boilerplate fields; you can choose a label and whether or not they are mandatory. Any non-configured field will be hidden to users. A fixup program run during the upgrade process will automatically configure some of these new custom fields to match existing functionality and will move existing election personnel data into these fields. For example, the personnel data stored in the Extra Details table. As a result, customers will notice very minimal differences in the look and behaviour of the ERM web portals after upgrading. Customers using the ERM module should be aware of the following changes: The screening survey that election worker applicants fill out can now ask customised questions in any order. To store the questionnaire answers in the new custom fields, a new 'Answer Mapping' section on the 'Generate Election Worker' batch parameter form has been configured. The supplied fixup program will automatically attempt to fill this out for existing saved parameters but this must be updated if the screening questions are changed. New custom filters can also be added to the 'Personnel Search' screen that filter on the custom fields of type General Code and Answer Code. Custom fields can also be configured to appear on the CSV extracts that can be generated from the search result screens in the ERM web management portal. The election personnel data that is currently stored in the Extra Details table (T031_EXTRA_DETAILS) has been moved into these new custom fields. If customers are currently using the 'EXTRA_DET_MAINT' API to update data such as Residing District/Municipality, then it is recommended to now use the new 'TEW_WORKER_MOD' API to update these custom fields instead. The CSV extracts that can be generated from the search results screens within the ERM web management portal previously had separate columns at the end for 'Other Relevant Experience' and 'Referees'. These items have now been combined into a single column instead. However, if customers wish to display this data in separate columns then this can be done through configuration by storing the 'Referee' and 'Other Relevant Experience' data in separate custom fields. The 'Personal and Preference Details' grid in the Election Personnel web screen no longer displays specific columns relating to election worker's availability, physical impairment, or whether they are on the electoral roll. As data is now stored in custom fields (which may differ for each customer) instead a url is displayed within the grid, asking the user to click to then view this information. The 'Other Relevant Experience and Referees' grid in the Election Personnel web portal has been removed because this data is now stored in the new custom fields, and so can be updated on the 'Personal and Preference Details' form with other custom fields. See the Core Online Help - ERM Section for more information.
Election Resource Management	DRM-1491	Fix issues with the F11_ERM_FIXUP2 fixup program (11.86)	Description A large number of errors were reported when running the 11.86 F11_ERM_FIXUP2 program. These errors typically related to: A 'Font Not Allowed' error, where large text fields did not accept non-standard characters Custom Fields which held invalid General Codes The use of SQL Server with case-sensitive collation enabled Resolution The large text custom fields added for election workers can now hold a full range of characters, so the F11_ERM_FIXUP2 program should no longer report errors relating to this when migrating data. The fixup program will also no longer validate General Codes as it migrates data to the new custom fields, which should reduce the number of employees that are skipped in the fixup process. Impact There is no impact to customers that have not yet run the F11_ERM_FIXUP2 fixup program. Customers that have already run this program and encountered employees that were skipped should re-run this fixup program which will reprocess those skipped employees.
Help Portal	DRM-1465	Context sensitive F1 Help function not working on ER190 parameter form	Description When using the Batch RDO & Equalisation (ER190_RDO_EQUAL) task, pressing 'F1' to open context sensitive help only worked correctly when the field focus was in the 'Settings' section. Resolution This issue has been resolved by amending the parameter form to include the Help trigger code. Impact Customers will once again be able to access Batch RDO & Equalisation context sensitive help as expected.
Hi Sec	AUR-22181	Change upgrade data fix-up for SQL case sensitivity	Description During a recent customer upgrade to release 11.85, some unexpected results were encountered in some database tables. After investigation, this issue was determined to affect SQL Server clients who use a Case Sensitive database collation, due to previously migrating from an Oracle database. Resolution The Data Migration Utility has been changed to use lowercase table names in the SQL generated to get records counts from MS SQL Server. Impact No customer impact. The data fix-up program in High Security has been upgraded for SQL case sensitivity.
Interface	AUR-22102	Provide Non CBA Payment Requests bank file interface	Description A request was received to provide a 'Non-CBA Payment Requests' bank file interface option. Resolution A number of software changes were made to support this request: A new Commbiz New Zealand Banking Interface (EV503_COMMBIZ) program has been added. Within the Bank (EC244_BANK_LIST) task, the 'Bank Code' detail form label was altered to 'Bank Code (BIC)' The Direct Advance Payment (EC585_DIRECT_ADV) form has been changed to include the 'NZ Commbiz Non CBA Payment Requests' format. Impact A new Commbiz New Zealand Banking Interface (EV503_COMMBIZ) program has been provided. See Online Help for detailed information on this new task.
Interface	AUR-22183	Enhance Tanda timesheet import EV636_TS_IMPORT to group by country	Description A customer enhancement request was received for the Tanda Timesheet Import (EV636_TS_IMPORT) batch process, to enable the separate processing of Australian and New Zealand companies. Resolution The Tanda Timesheet Import (EV636_TS_IMPORT) batch process has been enhanced to include 2 new Mode values on the parameter form: Group of AU Companies excluding specified Companies Group of NZ Companies excluding specified Companies These options allow the process to be run for groups of Australian or New Zealand companies. Impact Aurion Customers using Tanda will gain processing efficiencies from the ability to separately import Australia and NZ companies timesheets.
Interface	AUR-22193	Fix Tanda Timesheet extract to run based on Sundays	Description The Tanda Timesheet Import (EV636_TS_IMPORT) process was not correctly polling for Timesheets for weeks ending the past three Sundays. Resolution A software change has been made to correct this behaviour. Impact When run, this task will now correctly determine the previous 3 Sunday dates before 'today' and then retrieve those timesheet dates when calling Tanda.
Leave	AUR-22172	Change leave maximum usage check to calculate based on minutes	Description When performing Maximum Takings Checks defined against Time Codes and Award Leave Types where the measure is Days, Aurion summed the period days recorded against the Leave Occurrence to 2 decimal places. This created inaccuracies when summing multiple Part Day leave occurrences. Resolution A software change has been made to calculate the period days to 8 decimal places, allowing for improved accuracy when summing leave occurrences. Impact Time Code Leave Taking Maximum Usage checks are now applied correctly for several whole days, with historical combinations of part-day and full-day leave takings.
Onboarding	TTN-5323	Hide the Evidence Documents Section in Onboarding	Description A customer request was received to be able to hide the 'Proof of Identity' evidence documents during the onboarding process. Resolution The Aurion Core Onboarding Portal (ECB32_ONBDG_LIST) configuration screen no longer requires at least one Proof of Identity document upload to be configured. In addition, Proof of Identity document uploads can now be configured on an individual basis through Schedule of Hires (EC238_SCHED_SLCT) using the same method as licence and qualification document settings. Impact The Onboarding portal has been updated to provide enhanced document evidence configuration.
Payroll	AUR-21047	Remove Data Assembly Alert for ETP records when 100% tax free (Lump D)	Description Customers requested the Aurion STP Assembly Message "Person ##### in Company ##### has a zero $ ETP Payment Summary" to be optional when generating a Pay by Pay or End of Year STP Payload. Previously, this alert message would always be displayed when the 'Zero $ ETP Payment Summary' criteria was met. Resolution The Generate Pay by Pay STP PAYEVNT Payload (EV582_STP_PAYLD) and Generate EOY STP PAYEVNT Payload (EV611_STP_EOY) batch process parameter forms have been changed to include a new alert option 'Alert when person has zero $ ETP Payment Summary'. Impact When generating STP Payloads, customers will gain greater control over the 'Zero $ ETP Payment Summary' alert message. An example scenario is when an ETP-type payment has been processed for a terminated employee, but 100% of the payment was deemed to be Lump D and therefore tax-free.
Payroll	AUR-21713	Report separate STP Lump A Type codes for multiple engagements in a financial year	Description Lump Sum A Type codes for multiple separate employment engagements were not being reported to the ATO via STP as separate sub-types 'R' and 'T' when both situations applied to a payee within the same financial year. Resolution The STP PAYEVNT generation process has been enhanced to now report multiple Lump Sum A Types, as required. In addition, the STP Payee Detail form has been amended to remove STP Lump Sum Type field, because more than one Type code is now reported. Impact See Online Help - Generate STP2 PAYEVNT Payload for further details on this enhancement. Customers may also be required to run a fix-up program to move historical amounts into the appropriate sub-type field.
Payroll	AUR-22173	Enhance STP Payload Processing (EV614) to handle stuck messages	Description Customers were in some situations experiencing an STP transmission which became a 'stuck message' and outcomes were not received by Aurion. Resolution The STP Payload Detail form has been changed to include two (2) new non-database fields for "Submitted" date and time and (submitted) "Type". These fields have been added to Query Tool data sources and T55A_STP_PAYLOAD Audit messages. The STP Payload Processing (EV614_STP_PAYLD) batch process has been changed: Flag Payloads as "Stuck Message - contact ATO" and send an STP alert email when the outcome of the Payload has not been received 72 hours after originally submitted. The raw response from the calls to the ATO are written to the message frame/log file. When formatting the Payload, when looking at the previous successfully transmitted payload, 'stuck message' payloads will be counted as a successful transmitted payload for calculating company totals in the Parent section of the STP Payload. For a stuck message Payload, a new "Resolve" button option is available to resolve the status of the payload. The "Payload was processed" sets the payload status to "Full ATO outcomes received". The "Payload was rejected" sets the payload status to "... whole of request was rejected". Impact Customers will now have more control over managing STP payloads when outcomes cannot be achieved with the ATO within the ATO's specified timeframes. See 'Online Help - STP Payload Processing' for more specific information on this new feature.
Payroll	AUR-22203	STP2: Fix reporting of Employment Basis	Description An employee's Employment Basis data was previous reported incorrectly within the STP Payload file when they are Active but do not have a current Placement record. In this scenario, the unplaced employee had their Employment Basis derived from their Status FTE, which is incorrect if they were previously reported as Casual "C". Resolution Corrected an issue in STP Payload generation to use the Attendance Type of the Employee's most recent Placement record when determining if the Employee is Casual, when the Employee has no current Placement. Impact The STP Payload file was reporting "F" for Employment Basis when the person had no current placement record. This has been changed to report Employment Basis from the most recent employee placement record.
Query Tool	TTN-5351	Include useful Uniface Functions in function help popup	Description Previously, not all useful Uniface Functions were listed within the 'Function Help' popup. Resolution A number of software changes were made to make expand the Uniface functions available with AQT and BPA: Changed the Function Help Popup to include useful native Uniface functions including $length, $ldirlist, $ldir and $lfileexists. Changed the Function Help Popup to indicate when a BPA function differs from its QT equivalent (i.e. function in BPA is not prefixed with a '$' sign as when used in Query Tool.) Changed the Function Help popup to persistently remember your last selected function. Changed the Function Help popup so that once accepted, the BPA Editor returns back the syntax for the selected function. Changed the BPA Editor to use a more noticeable glyph in the tree for the Comments step, to not prefix Comments with 'comments:' and to permit multi-line comments. Changed the BPA Editor for the Workspace and API panels to make the Field Listbox wider, and move the 'Message Frame' checkbox up, so that don't have to scroll to see this when on a laptop. Included native Uniface File/Directory statements as a new File/Directory Action step type. The following BPA functions have been added to the help directory: $clock - System Time $time - System Time(Deprecated) $web - Web Application Mnemonic $batch - Batch Mode Indicator $length - Find String Length $ltrim - Left Trim $rltrim - Right Trim $oprsys - Operating System Mnemonic $logical - Application Logical Setting $scan - Scan String for Pattern $rscan - Scan String for Pattern from Right $uuid - Generate Unique Identifier tempdir - Directory for Temporary Files $ldirlist - Directory Contents $lfileexists - Check File or Directory Exists $lfileproperties - Properties of File or Directory $exp10 - Return Base 10 Exponential of X Impact The Function Help Popup has been changed to include useful native Uniface functions including $length, $ldirlist, $ldir and $lfileexists; plus indication when a BPA function differs from its AQT equivalent. The Function Help popup now also remembers your last selected function. In addition, when you accept a function, the user is returned to the BPA Editor with the required syntax for the selected function. In addition, native Uniface File/Directory statements (i.e. to create, rename and delete) are now available in a new File/Directory Action step type.
Query Tool	TTN-5355	Resolve EV016 Memory Leak	Description Customers reported a memory leak which was caused when BPA rulesets were triggered by a Batch UserId which was not linked to an Aurion Number. In some circumstances, this caused the process to run out of memory prior to completion. Resolution Changed the EV016_SECURITY operation OP014_DFLTQRYORG to delete the child instance of EV016_SECURITY when the UserId is not linked to an Aurion Number, otherwise the instance remains and causes a memory leak. Impact Query Tool no longer causes a memory leak when QT, or BPA that uses QT, is run by the Aurion Batch UserId which is not linked to an Aurion Number. When users without an attached Aurion number run queries, instances will now correctly be terminated. This will increase performance and reduce risk of crashing.
Report	AUR-22171	Fix RFB reporting on ER251_ATOPAYSUM report	Description In some circumstances, the ATO Payment Summary Reconciliation Report (ER251_ATOPAYSUM) did not correctly report Reportable Fringe Benefits (RFB) amounts processed as Pay Summary adjustments. The report was using the adjustment's Date Effective when it should be using the linked Pay Summary record's Date Paid to determine the RFB year. Resolution A software fix has been made to the program to correctly report RFB amount in all circumstances. Impact Impacted customers may wish to re-run, review and re-reconcile using the ATO Payment Summary Reconciliation Report (ER251_ATOPAYSUM) after applying this software update.
Tax	AUR-22185	STP2: Prevent reporting negative gross from SG as part of Total Remuneration Packages	Description Super Guarantee Contributions (SGC) as part of a salary package were not being correctly offset against the related disaggregated gross components, resulting in the potential for an employee to have negative gross and positive SGC. Resolution The STP payload generation process has been changed to resolve this issue in gross disaggregation. Impact Negative Gross (not Total Gross) no longer appears due to SG being managed as a pre-tax deduction, resulting in better accuracy when reporting to the ATO and Services Australia.
Timekeeper / Award Interpreter	AUR-22180	Fix Timekeeper effective date for overtime limit and leave takings	Description When using Timekeeper's "Timesheet & Multiple Period Limits" feature, in some circumstances 'Return' employees' overtime transactions were created with an incorrect date. For example, if leave appears within the timesheet before the limit was triggered and recovered amounts. Resolution A software change was made to resolve this issue when processing timekeeper lines for Return employees and applying "Timesheet & Multiple Period Limits" where adjustment transactions did not have correct dates. Impact Customers can be assured of correct date calculations when processing Timekeeper overtime transaction lines for Return employees.
Timekeeper / Award Interpreter	DRM-158	Timekeeper usability changes	Description Timekeeper usability enhancements were made to provide an improved user experience. Resolution Self Service Administrators will benefit from a new 'Expand Timesheets View' option, within the 'Self Service - System Administration' page. Once enabled, this option will expand the width of all Self Service Timesheets to use 95% of the available screen area. See 'Self Service Help - TimeKeeper' for more detail on this new feature. Additionally, Self Service modals (a web page element that displays in front of other page content) will now use 'sticky' button bars. This change will be of assistance when lengthy modals are to be completed by a user. Impact Customers will need to manually enable the 'Expand Timesheets View' option through the 'Self Service - System Administration' page.
