SACS2011ALL Software Readme

What's New

Listed below is a summary of changes made to the 2011-12 budget and interim, and the 2010-11 unaudited actual, components of the SACS software. We incorporate changes requested by users wherever possible; you may recognize one of your suggestions being implemented here. This year our efforts were primarily focused on required changes, with some enhancements, as summarized below. Many of the required changes relate to the new fund balance classifications required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement 54 (GASB 54) or to the newly established Fund 10, Special Education Pass-Through Fund. For information on GASB 54 please see our January 7, 2011 letter, available on our Correspondence Web page. For information on the new Fund 10, please see our March 3, 2011 letter, available at the same location. For additional information on each of the changes, refer to the relevant sections of this user guide.

KNOWN ISSUES:

Symptom

Formatting problems sometimes occur when printing forms from the Table of Contents. For instance, all of the grid lines will print in the upper left hand corner.

Probable Cause

Printer drivers. Unfortunately we have not found one printer driver that works for all components of the SACS software.

Resolution/Workaround

Various printer drivers work differently with the SACS software. Try changing the printer driver or print from the open form rather than from the table of contents.

Symptom

GPF error or system runs very slowly.

Probable Cause

The computer runs out of physical/virtual memory.

Workaround

Avoid opening too many windows concurrently. If the error is received, shut down the application and reboot the machine.

Problem

Known problem with Windows 7. Some users have reported problems running the SACS Software on Windows 7 64-bit PCs.

Workaround

Although we are researching possible workarounds, these problems are currently unresolved. If and when a workaround is identified, it will be posted to the SACS2011ALL Software: Known Problems/Fixes Web page.
