❏ Created/applied an SQL to resolve the following TSDS fatal error 20030-0016: If BudgetObject is within the range “6100”-“6600”, then BudgetProgramIntent must not be “00”. If the record in the Budget staging table includes an ODS ID and the amount is zero, it is marked to be deleted in the ODS and the record will remain in the staging table. If the record does not have ODS ID and the amount is zero, it is removed from the Budget staging table.
District Administration > Options > TSDS > Domain & Entities
❏ Modified the program so it will no longer calculate the AsOfCodes in the 6:00pm nightly extract.
District Administration > Maintenance > Non-Employee
❏ Corrected TSDS extracts to automatically include non-employees who are under active contract, provided they have valid data (Begin Date, End Date, TX Unique Staff ID, Race, Days Employed, and Percent of Day).

District Administration > Maintenance > Non-Employee > TSDS
❏ Corrected the program to only allow valid characters (selected from the ellipsis) to be saved in the Staff Service field.

Release Date: 1/7/25 ASCENDER Update: 9.0410
District Administration > Maintenance > Non-Employee
❏ Corrected the issue where begin and end dates were not saved upon creating a new record. These dates are now correctly saved when a record is added or updated.
❏ Modified the program to require the Begin Date and End Date fields for all records. This allows contracted staff to be tracked annually for TSDS reporting.
❏ Added the Extract for TSDS checkbox to the Instructional Staff section. This option will create an entry in the staging table for each non-employee who has a termination date when selected. Additionally, this option was added to the associated Non-Employee Report.
District Administration > Inquiry > TSDS Level 1 Errors
❏ Modified the staging tables to extract actuals for classes 3XXX, 5XXX, and 7XXX objects by multiplying the amounts by -1. Note that this change will result in negative amounts for these classes if their current balances are positive. This corrects TSDS Mid-Year Finance fatal errors caused by the mentioned objects reporting negative amounts.
❏ Corrected the issue that prevented fund balance totals from being included on the TSDS Prior Year Actuals report (Extract Prior Year Reprint). This corrects TSDS Mid-Year fatal error 20032-0007.
TSDS Updates

TSDS: P_EXTRACT_EDFI_CRS_STG
❏ Updated the extract to no longer send SA, SE, and SR codes in the Course entity since TEA is now preloading course codes that begin with those codes.

❏ Corrected the error that caused the staging table for the instructional setting code to drop previous campus information when a student changes campuses.
