A Message to Our Esteemed Customers

Thursday 21st December 2017

We have released a new build as part of our continual product development cycle; BRSANALYTICS V2.8.2 is now available for installation.

This release is mainly targeted as a hotfix for ongoing FINREP implementations.

Provided below is a list of new items available as product fixes and / or enhancements.

Please feel free to get in touch with one of our representatives to book an appointment to update your current setup. Updates typically take approximately 1.5 days per server including a health-check depending on the setup you are currently running on.

We will revert with a more exact time-frame based on your current setup once we receive confirmation of your request to upgrade.

Fixes and Enhancements in the Application:

INC No.TitleDescription
#1057CollateralisedAmountNew EODC Measure which calculates Collateralised Amount based on brGrossCarryingAmount for FINREP Reporting.
#1059SubCategoriesThe defaults of some fields for Subcategories was not set correctly and this was causing a problem to calculate GrossCarryingAmount for FINREP.
#1035Convert to Pivot TableFurther tweaking to ensure conversion of FINREP formulas which may have had structure changes.
#1058ACCS.DatePastDue
ACCS.DaysPastDue
New fields in ACCS for FINREP (and in the future AnaCredit)
#1062EOPB.ActivityTypeAs some of our customers can only classify activity by GL and Account rather by just account, addition of ActivityType in EOPB for flexibility
#1061Business RulesRemoval of constriction in rules that updates on ACCS / CLTS which were affected by the batch upload process. This may mean that we may require some updating in rules to include time dependencies.

Apart from a BRS Application Update, in order to benefit from all the above enhancements, clients should install the latest version of the BRS Toolbar V2.8.1
