RIAS Extension (REX) Upgrade

The REX system was recently upgraded to provide new functionality and easier navigation. REX is now filtering deleted DGCA accounts.  This will reduce the scrolling through the Account parameter selection, fund source drop-down lists, and various reports.  It will also help to ensure that you do not incorrectly enter adjustments, salary commitments, salary reallocations, or TABERs against accounts that are no longer active. green arrowFull story
