District Administration > Tables > District Information > Shared Services Arrangement
❏ Added this tab to identify the ESC/LEA fiscal agents and the ESC and/or LEA member(s) for each type of shared services arrangement (SSA) that exists among two or more ESCs and/or LEAs. This tab is used to maintain financial information (actuals) for shared service arrangements for state reporting purposes.
District Administration > Maintenance > User Profiles > Permissions
❏ Added the following fields under Accounts Receivable to set default account codes for a user, which will be used when creating invoices on the Accounts Receivable > Maintenance > Create/Modify Invoice page.
Note: If these fields are blank, then the Offset Obj and Offset Sobj fields default to the values in the Accounts Receivable field on the Finance > Tables > District Finance Options > Clearing Fund Maintenance tab and the Offset Org field is set to 000.
District Administration > Maintenance > Non-Employee
❏ Modified the program to retrieve the TSDS Staff Type drop-down values according to the max year in the TSDS staff type database table instead of the District HR Options table for both Business and Student databases. This allows the appropriate values to be populated in the TSDS Staff Type drop-down field for Student-only databases as they do not have access to the District HR Options table.
