IPPEX Cloud V 1.41 Release Notes
Introduction
Version 1.41 contains a series of enhancements to the employee payments functionality, an alternative method for communicating employee user accounts, an enhancement to my reports and an Excel dialogue export for messenger topics.
Payment Enhancements
Bespoke Payment Reports
The IPPEX Cloud payments framework has been extended to provide the facility to host bespoke payment file outputs. Where banking organisations do not support the ISO payment file, IPPEX can develop on a fee-paying basis a bespoke payment file output. All bespoke payment files will utilise the existing file creation process. The payment file output will be in My Files, along with a results file and payment confirmation reports. Bespoke payment files support split payments, sFTP file transfer and PGP encryption. If your organisation has a requirement for a non-ISO 20022 payment file, please contact the IPPEX Global team.
Employee list pagination
The payment kick-off process presents of those employees with a positive payment value for that pay period and payment category, the employee selection has been improved with pagination and an employee search facility. There is an option to change the number of employees displayed in each page, up to 100.
Requested payment date has been added to results file and details tab of payment confirmation report
The payment date selected for a payment file is now included in the results file and the details tab of the payment confirmation report.
Payment currency displayed in payment confirmation report
A new column has been added to the payment confirmation report showing the payment currency.
Handling of negative payment values
Enhanced messaging regarding negative payment values. Negative payment values cannot be uploaded to a payment category. If a pay element is linked to a payment category such as net pay, if the element has a negative value, this will be copied to the payment category. The payment file kick off process will only process positive payment values, and will deliver a warning message if there are any negative values for that payment category and pay period.
Tenant setting to remove password from employee user activation emails
IPPEX has extended the options available to clients for employee user activations with a new facility to exclude the passing of a password in the activation email. The new tenancy setting will result in an employee user receiving an email to verify their use account, after which the user will be able to create their password.
My recent reports refresh button
The my recent reports page now has a refresh button, if you have opened the my recent reports and are waiting for a report to complete, you can press the refresh button to retrieve the latest list of reports.
Messenger Topic conversation export to Excel
A new facility has been added to messenger to export a topic conversation to Excel, this supports audit processes and to retrieve key data needed for payroll processing.
