Monthly Trends Reports (enhancements to the Expenditure and Revenue Monthly Trends reports in Financial Management to provide a fund totals only option; these reports provide amounts for the 14 fiscal months).
10-Level Expenditure and Revenue Activity (allow different lengths of the same dimension/component to be included in the sort and totals; display of?_activity detail information is optional; with these new Financial Management reports for OpenRDA, account totals can be easily reported when the activity crosses fiscal years).
Managed Reference Numbers (extends the use of managed reference numbers to Intrafund Transfers and Interfund Transfers in?_Financial Management).

Mass Change Employee Deduction Amounts?_(modifications to the report process in Payroll module for OpenRDA to?_allow ranging on job-related fields. Since deductions are at the personnel level, not at job level, care should be taken when using the job-related ranges to avoid changing an employee’s deductions twice or more).?_
Vendor Withholding Advice (modifications to the report process in Payroll module to use lists for the Pay Identification instead of direct entry in the from and to fields; this enhancement requires that the pay identifications not be marked as historical).
Apply Overpayment Type (a new setup variable in Occupational Tax/Business License module to indicate whether overpayments should automatically be applied to administrative fee or to tax).
