Effective January 15 , the sheet and report user interface within Adaptive Planning will be updated. The blue banner will be removed on all report and sheet pages and all search fields and data tables will have rounded corners. Additionally, the Add New button will move to a new location below the top menu bar on the report overview and sheet overview pages. The functionality on these pages will remain the same. See the full post to preview the new look.
A new report group, Financial Transactions Awaiting Action, has been released. This report includes three different reports that provide a list and the status of journal, accounting adjustment, and asset transactions that are awaiting an approval or to-do step. To run this report group, users can go to the "Schedule a Report" task and search for "Financial Transactions Awaiting Action." Once the prompts are entered and the report group runs, all reports will be available in one Excel spreadsheet.
In preparation for the combined federal and state filing changes, the Payee Setup Form along with the Miscellaneous Payee and Miscellaneous Payment Request tasks will be updated to include additional address prompts for 1099 income reporting when the state in which work is performed differs from the state associated with the payee’s primary address. The changes listed in the full post will occur on January 17.

The field "Reference ID" has been added to the output of the "Find Miscellaneous Payment Request Summary - OSU" report. This change aids those needing the field to perform mass actions on miscellaneous payment requests.
The field "Inventory Stock Request Line" has been added to the output of the "Find Requisition Details - OSU" report. This change allows end users to identify the specific inventory stock request number to which the requisition was sourced.
During the week of January 27 , a new interface will be released for Payroll Accounting Adjustments (PAA) for retroactive payroll posted on a paycheck. Once this change is made, if there is a retro pay period associated with the earnings needing to be moved, PAA Specialists will now need to select the correct retro period.
Prior to this change, budget date was the main driver of associating payroll with the pay period for which the earnings were intended. Moving forward, the Retro Period Date will associate the PAA with a pay period. The budget date will default to the budget date of the retro period.
