Top Issues
- Purchase Orders: Most POs from legacy have been reentered into ConnectCarolina. To look up Purchase Orders, follow this navigation path:
Main Menu>Finance>Purchasing>Purchase Orders>Review PO Information>Purchase Order. This path gets you to the PO Inquiry Screen. Then you enter the old FRS PO number in the PO ID field and click search. - ePro 8.9: ePro 8.9 should be back online early next week with view-only access.
- ePro 9.1: The only remaining unavailable vendor in ePro Vendor Catalog is Apple, which will be back online after Oct. 6.
- Receiving: There is an issue with Receiving on POs entered that originated in FRS. We are working on a business process to address this. Expect a communication next week.
- Payroll Posting to GL: Biweekly Payroll 06 was successfully released today. The posting of the payroll expenses to the general ledger will be delayed until Monday, October 13. This will be the first posting of a payroll to the GL in ConnectCarolina, and several processes are under review to ensure proper posting of the transactions.
- Biweekly 06 Payroll: These are issues we have been made aware of and are working on. Expect a communication with details on Monday.

- Commitment Accounting: $1,000 Legislative Salary Increase (LSI) funding is missing from the salary sources. The pay is correct, though. This affected 432 employees. Corrections are in progress.

- Workflow: Yesterday’s issue impacting workflow routing if the department existed for UNCCH as well as a foundation. This issue has been resolved but will not retroactively correct the workflow of existing transactions.
