ID: 81734
When working in the Post Payments dialog box for all items with multiple properties, the Amount Due field did not display the expected value after selecting the Create Half Pay button (Activities > Quick Post (all items)). The dialog box now includes a Total Current Amt Due field.

The restriction has been removed, correcting the issue.
General
79967
Lawsuit records were still editable after the suit’s status was marked closed. Now, when a lawsuit’s status is marked closed, the record is not editable. Changing the status back to open allows the record to be editable again.
85884
When creating a new inquiry, the name displayed in the Appraiser field under the Assignments section of the ARB Inquiry dialog box did not save until the inquiry was closed and then reopened. Instead, clicking Apply unexpectedly resulted in the field reverting to and displaying the default name that was displayed when the Inquiry was first opened (open a property, click the ARB Inquiries tab, click New in the Inquiries section, change the name in the Appraiser field, click Apply). Clicking Apply caused the system to check if the inquiry was new, and, on seeing that it was, the system reinserted the default appraiser. The system’s inquiry status now changes earlier in the sequence of actions performed when updating an inquiry record, correcting the issue.
90325

Property Access
83025
When two or more owner IDs had the same File As name, Property Access displayed the totals for each owner ID separately. The Property Access tax summary no longer splits totals in this case, and has replaced the Total line item with a Grand Total line item.
Rendition
87666
While working in the Personal Property Rendition Wizard, changes to the Review Appraiser and Review Date fields in the Personal Prop view of the selected property did not save (Activities > Personal Property Rendition, enter property ID and click Search; in the Personal Property Rendition Wizard select Next, then click Property at the bottom of the wizard, in the property record, click the Personal Prop tab and modify the Review Appraiser and Review Date information, click Apply, then X out of the record and finish the rendition wizard.

Similarly, the Move To Cart button in the Property Fees section is enabled only if the user has the POST_PAYMENT user right.
Import
81270
Ownership % did not import when importing appraisal data (File > Import > Appraisal Data). The export process in PACS Appraisal has been corrected.
Payment Processing
86148
VIT payments were not distributed as expected when the sum of the penalty and fines was more than the money paid in by the taxpayer (Activities > VIT Processing). VIT properties with penalties and fines greater than the UPTV paid are now removed from the processing list when using the Special Inventory Payment Wizard. Additionally, the wizard’s previous warning, “Properties with no bills or no amount paid will be removed from the list at this time.” now displays “Properties with no bills, no amount paid, or with penalty and fines greater than the UPTV paid will be removed at this time.”
Reports
77307

85494
The Rollback Recap Report did not update legal description information per the most recent supplement changes because the report generation process did not check property supplement associations or the year in which the property was currently being viewed (Reports > Rollback > Rollback Recap Report). These issues have been corrected.
87663
After selecting Lit ID and entering a litigation record, choosing Print in the Print Fees Statement Report dialog box caused an unexpected error (Reports>Fee>Fee Statement Report). A parameter including litigation ID numbers was improved, correcting the issue.
