Improved Feature – General Ledger: Track voided flag against GL transactions

  • Problem: Users did not have a clear and simple way to understand which of their General Ledger transactions were inside of a voided pay run or individual paycheck. Accounting teams will likely want to remove or ignore these transactions since monies weren’t moved in these scenarios.
  • Solution: The General Ledger Transaction Details Report will now clearly identify, via an added column of data, whether or not each individual transaction has been voided

New flag in the report’s “View Details” preview:

Improved Feature – Positive Pay File Customization: Chase Bank, PNC, and Huntington

  • Background: Positive Pay Files are used to provide various banks with information about distributed checks. They use this data to confirm that the later cashed checks are indeed valid and can be pulled from the respective accounts.
  • Problem: Each bank has its own format. Greenshades will need to support each individual format of the respective bank for the client.
  • Solution: Greenshades has expanded the support for a variety of customers via creating custom positive pay file formats for the following banks as of 05/10/2022:
    • Chase Bank
    • PNC Bank
    • Huntington Bank
    • US Bank

Note: Utilization of these file types must be requested from support or implementation reps

Performance Improvement – Optimize calculation persistence in the Payroll Wizard

  • What we heard: Changes or updates to information within the Pay Run wizard steps have been slow to save (i.e. location, departments, amounts, etc.).
  • How we addressed it: Critical changes have been made to the way in which the product saves these inputs. As a result, users should expect to experience a “noticeable” decrease to the time it takes to save these changes in the UI and therefore the amount of time they must wait until they can make another edit. Expect at minimum a 20% decrease in wait times per change.
