The first issue is an error in the Approve Requests [PRCSAPP] option which causes it to fail when the | character is used in an item description. The second issue is inconsistencies in Transaction Type codes between IFCAP and FMS. ASSOCIATED REMEDY TICKETS: ========================= 1. HD55516 BEGIN+30^PRCST5:3 DUPLICATE: HD55603 ERROR $ZE= BEGIN+30^PRCST5 2. HD103244 IFCAP routine update needed ASSOCIATED E3R(s): ================== N/A PARTICIPATING TEST SITES: ========================= Salisbury, NC Bay Pines, FL Upstate New York HCS REMEDY OVERVIEW: ============== 1. HD55516 BEGIN+30^PRCST5:3 Problem: -------- There is an error which can occur in the Approve Requests option when an item description contains a vertical bar ( | ) character. The underlying problem is a FileMan call to format the output. FileMan uses the vertical bar character as a special indicator and gets confused when it occurs in normal text. Resolution: ----------- This patch changes the PRCS APPROVE REQUEST print template so that the output is displayed without resorting to the FileMan call. 2. HD103244 IFCAP routine update needed Problem: -------- In November 2004 the Financial Management System (FMS) changed the set of Transaction Type codes which it will accept for Standard Voucher (SV) transactions generated for inventory activity. The IFCAP development team was unaware of this change and thus did not upgrade the matrix for assigning Transaction Type codes to be compatible with what is now in the Production FMS account. Resolution: ----------- This patch will restore consistency between IFCAP and FMS in Transaction Type code assignments on SV transactions. The routine PRCPSFSV has been updated to contain and transmit the correct set of codes. ROUTINE SUMMARY =============== The following is a list of the routines included in this patch. The second line of each of these routines now looks like: ;;5.1;IFCAP;**[patch list]**;Oct 20, 2000 CHECK^XTSUMBLD results Routine Before Patch After Patch Patch List -------- ------------ ----------- ---------- PRCPSFSV 6895879 7280724 81,85 CHECK1^XTSUMBLD results Routine Before Patch After Patch Patch List -------- ------------ ----------- ---------- PRCPSFSV 13681700 14632902 81,85 Number of Routines = 1 ================INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ================= This patch can be installed with users on the system, however one option will need to be disabled (see step 4).
