akoyaGO and akoyaGO with Accounting
Bug Fixes
Payments & Payment Adjustments
- Fixed an issue that prevented staff from adjusting a Request Payment or Gift Payment after a related refund had been voided. Users can now void a refund and adjust the original payment as expected.
- Fixed an issue that allowed the Payment Status field on a Request Payment record to be edited after the payment was marked Reversed. The field is now locked when the status is Reversed to help maintain accurate payment records.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent pledge payments with gift fees from being adjusted successfully. Adjustments now process correctly, and related accounting records update as expected.
Gift Processing & Fees
- Gift Payment Fee Amounts now update correctly when Gift Fees or payment amounts are updated automatically by the system. Manually entered Fee Amounts are not affected. Existing records can be recalculated by updating the Gift Payment record.
- Fixed an issue that could cause a Total Amount mismatch when creating a Gift using Gift Quick Create. The Amount field is now displayed on the form, allowing users to review and adjust it before saving when necessary.
Interfund Grants
- Fixed an issue that required Grant Function and Gift Function to be entered when creating an Interfund record using Quick Create, even when those fields were not required. These fields are now optional.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent an Interfund Grant reversal from being saved. Staff can now complete reversals successfully without receiving save errors.
Donor & Contact Management
- Fixed an issue that could cause a Donor record to retain incorrect address or email information after contacts were merged. Donor records now refresh using information from the primary contact as expected. If a donor was affected previously, a manual update may still be needed.
Pledges
- Fixed an issue that could prevent Team Users from recalculating a pledge payment schedule. Team users can now successfully recalculate payment schedules, and scheduled payments are recreated correctly.
Administration & Security
- Fixed an issue that could prevent delegated mailbox approvers from approving mailboxes. Read access to the Integration Settings table has been added to standard akoyaGO security roles.
Scholarships & Awards
- Fixed an issue where approved scholarship requests were not always updating related payment records correctly. Scholarship information is now carried through as expected when a request is approved.
Enhancements
Communication & Outreach
- You can now send emails to multiple records at once using the new Bulk Email feature (Send Email button). Select records from a view, choose the recipient, sender, and email template, and akoyaGO will create and track the emails on each related record’s timeline.
- Letter Templates can now be sent by email directly from akoyaGO. Choose the sender, recipient, and whether the letter should appear in the email body or be included as an attachment.
Fund Management
- A new Default Gift Fee field has been added to the Fund record. This field is displayed on the General tab in the Fund Fees section of the Fund form. When a default fee is selected, it is automatically added to Gift Payments when that Fund is chosen.
- The Fund record now includes a calculated No. of GOfund Users field that displays the number of active users with Donor Portal Access (GOfund) to the Fund. This field is displayed on the Fund Connections tab of the Fund form.
- Two new calculated fields, Age of Fund and Anniversary Date, have been added to help staff identify how long a fund has been active and locate upcoming fund anniversaries. These fields are displayed on the Fund Detail tab of the Fund form.
- The New Funds by Year chart now uses each Fund’s Established Date, providing a more accurate view of when funds were actually established.
Requests & Payments
- Users can now clear the Special Request Status field on multiple Requests at once using bulk update.
- Finance staff can now use the Send to Accounting action to resend Gift Payments and Request Payments that previously failed without clearing the Error Payment Status or Payment Status Details.
- Request Payments can no longer be sent in bulk when they exceed a Fund’s GOfund Spendable Balance. This error can be overridden as needed, and the Request Payment exceeding the Fund's GOfund Spendable Balance can be Sent to Accounting from the individual record.
Business Central
Bug Fixes
Deposits & Fund Accounting
- Improved deposit processing and reconciliation tools for undeposited funds. Fund information is now corrected automatically when needed, and new review tools make it easier to verify deposits and related accounting entries.
- Fixed an issue that could cause Average Daily Balance fund fees to be calculated incorrectly for months that are not 31 days. Future calculations will use the correct date range. If you already processed an affected fee batch, recreate the batch to apply the corrected results.
- Fixed an issue where Fund-related accounting information was not always included on posted payment entries. Posted transactions now include the expected Fund details.
Payments & Transactions
- Fixed an issue where Fund Name information could be missing on printed checks in certain payroll scenarios. Fund and document details now appear correctly.
- Fixed an issue where transaction reversals could use the wrong bank account when multiple bank accounts were available. Reversals now use the bank account from the original transaction.
- Fixed an issue that could result in incomplete posting when invoice numbers exceeded the supported length. The system now alerts users to shorten the invoice number before posting.
Data Accuracy & Synchronization
- Fixed an issue where Vendor Blocked status changes in Business Central were not always updating the related Constituent record in akoyaGO. Vendor status changes now sync correctly.
- Fixed an issue where Fund-related values could remain on journal entries after the Fund was removed. Those values are now cleared automatically to help keep journal entries accurate.
Enhancements
Vendor Banking
- A new Vendor Bank Accounts page makes it easier to view and update vendor banking information. Key fields can be edited directly from the list, and users can quickly open the full Vendor Bank Account record when needed.
- You can now import Vendor Bank Accounts from a spreadsheet, allowing Finance teams to add multiple Vendor Bank Accounts at once. Validation tools help identify issues before import, and records with errors can be corrected and re-imported without affecting successful imports.
- Business Central check layouts now support MICR-formatted bank details so routing and account numbers can be printed in a bank-readable format on checks.
Fund Management & Fees
- Fund Fees calculation logs now provide additional details about the funds and criteria used in the calculation, making it easier to understand and validate results.
- A new Net Asset Sweep field has been added to the Fund record, allowing participation in Net Asset Sweep to be managed separately from the Endowed setting. Existing non-endowed funds will have this field set to Yes, while existing endowed funds will have this field set to No. Moving forward, be sure to set this field appropriately when creating new funds to indicate whether they should be included in Net Asset Sweep.
- Custom Account Filters used in Fund Fee and spendable allotment calculations are now validated before saving, helping prevent configuration errors.
Payments & Adjustments
- Request Payment and Gift Payment adjustment forms now include the GL Memo field, allowing staff to review and update the memo as needed while making adjustments.
Chart of Accounts & Financial Controls
- The Chart of Accounts and account selection lists now show active accounts by default. Blocked accounts remain available for reference but can no longer be selected where posting is required, helping reduce posting errors.
GOapply
Bug Fixes
User Invitations & Account Access
- Fixed an issue where resending an email verification could generate a link that did not work. Users who receive a new verification email can now successfully verify their email address and access GOapply.
- Fixed an issue where users invited through the Add GOapply Users process could remain stuck in a pending approval status and be unable to sign in. Invited users can now complete the invitation process successfully.
- Improved validation when creating GOapply users. Invalid email addresses are now identified before accounts are created, with clearer messages to help GOapply Administrators correct issues.
- Improved feedback when inviting users whose email address already exists in GOapply. Administrators will now see clearer information explaining why a new account was not created.
Forms & Data Collection
- Fixed an issue in Advanced Form Builder that prevented Currency, Email, and Phone Number questions from being mapped to fields in akoyaGO. These question types now behave consistently with other supported field types.
Enhancements
Forms & Application Experience
- A new Currency question type is now available in Simple Form Builder. Currency questions use consistent formatting with thousands separators and two decimal places.
Review Management
- New Publish and Publish Date fields have been added to Review Groups. These fields allow foundations to control when review groups become available to reviewers. If Publish = Yes, Publish Date will now be required. Existing Review Groups with a blank Publish/Publish Date will continue to be available immediately, as they were previously.
Scholarships & Automatch
- The Scholarship field previously labeled Opt-In Enabled has been renamed Automatch Enabled to better reflect its purpose.
GOfund
Bug Fixes
Profile & Account Management
- Fixed an issue where approved Change Requests to remove profile information, such as a phone number or address, did not update the Contact record correctly. Approved Change Requests now remove the selected information as expected. Email addresses cannot be removed because they are required for GOfund access.
Invitations & Access
- Fixed an issue where resending an expired GOfund invitation could fail. Resent invitations now generate and send a new working access link.
Grant Recommendations
- Fixed an issue where repeated grant requests could incorrectly default to anonymous. Repeated grants now use the same anonymous setting as the original request.
- Fixed an issue with sorting grant and interfund recommendations. Amount and date columns now sort correctly.
Donations & Receipts
- Fixed an issue that could result in duplicate donation receipt confirmation emails being sent. Donation receipts are now sent only once per donation.
Enhancements
Grant Recommendations
- Users can now select Submit All even when some recommendations contain errors. Valid recommendations will be submitted, while items with errors remain available for correction.
Profile Management
- Foundation staff can now see clear before-and-after values when reviewing GOfund profile Change Requests, making it easier to understand what information is being updated.
Fund Information & Reporting
- The Fund Summary page now displays the user-friendly title Scheduled Distributions instead of the underlying system view name.
- A new report called GOfund Connections by Fund is now available. This report groups Donor Portal Access (GOfund) users by Fund, making it easier to review fund-related access and relationships.
- The Scheduled Distributions section of the Fund Summary page has been updated to provide information specifically designed for GOfund users, including improved sorting and more relevant distribution details.
GOdonate
Bug Fixes
Recurring Giving
- Fixed an issue where recurring donation confirmation and reminder emails could display a blank greeting for new donors. Emails now display an appropriate donor greeting.
- Fixed an issue where donors could receive a confusing message during recurring gift checkout when selecting who should receive tax credit for a donation. The donation form now clearly prompts donors to make a selection before continuing.
Donation Processing
- Improved donation processing reliability when certain optional information from Stripe is unavailable. Donations now process more consistently and are less likely to encounter errors.
