Purchase orders are used to track and manage orders to outside organizations. When you create a receipt for a purchase order in database view, you automatically generate the entries required to reverse encumbrance transactions posted from a purchase order. A receipt also acts as a template you can use for creating invoices for items you have received.

Projected Depreciation report. Under Reporting, you can now add and run the Projected Depreciation report in web view. The Projected depreciation report projects deprecation for future years for selected assets.
After you add the report, you can view, edit, export, add to favorites, or delete as necessary.

Printing checks. To improve the check printing process, you now export checks to PDF and print checks directly from the PDF. Previously, you selected Print directly from the Print checks page and Pre-payment report.
Now you will select Export PDF from the Print checks page and Pre-payment report.
You can still print checks, you just have to export to PDF first. No other print settings have changed, so you can still access Format check settings to validate the content and alignment, or change the print date. When exported and saved, the printer will print as it is in the PDF.
Ending support for this feature enables printing across multiple browsers and helps avoid printing errors that could cause you to void payments. For example, since errors such as paper jams, low ink, or network disruptions can occur during printing, users often need to void payments and start over. In addition, some browsers don’t support check printing which leads to workflow interruptions and frustration.

Expense Management
With this release, when you add more than 20 expense categories for an invoice request, you must select to hide the distribution information. Previously, you could only add a maximum of 20 expense categories.
When you add more than 20, a confirmation screen prompts you to hide distribution information. Once you select Hide distributions from the confirmation screen, distributions are hidden for each category. To edit them, simply select Edit distributions next to a category.
We also added a new toggle for an invoice request. Under Distribution, either Distributions hidden or Distributions displayed will appear depending on whether you have more than 20 categories.

Blackbaud ID
With this release, for those of you hosted in a data center, to simplify your login process and comply with the latest software security standards, you will no longer need to enter Citrix credentials when accessing database view.
From Database , Open database view, use the new Citrix access page to open your databases, Crystal Reports, hosted files, and regional settings. Previously, you entered a Citrix login and password before you could open these areas of the program.
Although this update streamlines your experience, there are a few changes to be aware of:

, Open database view. For more information, see Users.
Tip: We recommend you configure and enable Windows authentication for each existing database view user before you send invitations. If you don’t, those users may notice color preferences, file locations, column selections, and other settings reset to default when they log in with their web view credentials for the first time. For information about how to set up Windows authentication, see this Knowledgebase article.
Note: Users with multiple accounts in the database view, such as for supervisor and regular access, must use separate Blackbaud IDs for each account.

-
To view your database number, such as for third party integrations, select Database view options from the Citrix access page. Previously, you contacted Support for this information.

Journal entry enhancements. When creating a batch, you can now enter a date in the Reverse on column under Journal entries to reverse transactions within the batch. This is helpful if you include accruals in manual journal entries, or have deposits you want to record in the following month. For more information, see Add a batch.
We also added security controls in Journal entry for who can approve manual journal entries. System admins can go to the database view to select which users have approval rights.
Chart organizer enhancements. To save time creating similar chart templates, you can copy one template into another. When you select Copy into newfrom a template menu in the Chart organizer list, a new template opens with all the copied information. You only need to enter the Template ID and Template description fields.
