FA Back 3.15 - Release notes
Released: July 15th, 2022
FA Back 3.15 provides you with the possibility to export and import posting rules which can save you a lot of time. It has also become easier for you to share views and processes with groups defined in FA Admin Console.
Export and import of posting rules
FA Back version 3.15 provides you with the opportunity to export and import posting rules. This new functionality can save you time, effort and reduce mistakes since you don’t need to manually click in all posting rules. For example, when you set up posting rules in the test environment and test that they are working as expected, you can now export and import the tested posting rules to production environment.
Also, this functionality can be useful if you need several almost identical posting rules for different security types. When you manually have set up one set of posting rules, you can now export that set and make needed changes in CSV for the other security type and import the CSV to a new set of posting rules. You can also import the posting rules without making any changes in the CSV and make the necessary changes directly in FA. This will save you time since you don’t need to manually set up all the rules and this also reduces possibilities for mistakes.

Book a separate transaction that allocates costs on purchase lots similar to booking fees on transactions
You can use this new feature when you have a transaction cost, for example a legal fee, that will later be booked to the transaction. Before this change, it has only been possible to allocate a cost like this by modifying the original transaction. Now, you can record the cost with a separate transaction and still get the allocation to purchase lots correct. When booked correctly as a separate transaction cost, the system will automatically allocate the cost on the correct purchase lots. This feature is especially useful when you valuate your portfolio with the FIFO method.

User roles defined in FA Admin Console available in views and processes
You can now see the user roles that you assigned to your users in FA Admin Console (User management view) in the Share with drop-down. With this new change it’s much easier to identify the users who you would like to share views and processes with.
Before, sharing user interface content was based on very granular system-level roles, and it was hard to know who you were sharing content to. The new sharing option corresponds one-to-one with the user roles you assign for your users in FA Admin Console. With this, it is easy to share content to your colleagues, as you can see options like “Backoffice”, “Compliance” or “Accounting” in the sharing options. The sharing options now correspond with the real user roles in your organization.
This new change is a new option available throughout the whole FA Back, in every place where you can control visibility of something, for example saved views, reports, report packages, processes, and some preferences, such as profiles or tags. All previously saved shared views are still working as before.
