Expense Submittal System

This release has been enhanced with a new intuitive UI which lets users create an expense report on one screen and supports localization for language, dates, and numbers. It currently has support for English and French.

The primary reason for release was to rework the release procedures for easier deployment of ESS. Several bugs were addressed.

This release adds the ability to attach receipt scan files (or any "approved" file type) to a report for review by auditors. This allows the creation of a paperless expense report environment.

Multi-company support and true multi-currency support was provided. JS profile generation was eliminated. Mileage rates were moved to the database. Report register and report header editors were added in the Audit menu. Bugs were fixed in the report audit module. Additional routing rules were added for more complex routing. Default menus were simplified and simple reports were expanded. User functions are now better defined. System admin tools were expanded to include EOD reset, diagnostics, current usage, and log detail adjustment.

This release has revamped the audit module and fixed several bugs on the reporter-side with ESS 4.0. Audit edit screens have been refined. The pre-populated import process is generalized and now driven by XML descriptors. The reconcilement process has been QA’d. All ESS functions can now be performed with a Mozilla Firefox (2.0) browser as well as a MS IE (5.0+) browser. A modification to the SMTP process has been made to support Quail servers. Some new screens, targeting GST support, are included. Current users should upgrade.
