Current Status
No systems are offline.
Top Issues
- State Expenses: June 2014 State Expenses did not get loaded. FRS was unbalanced between the GLs and SLs. We plan to post those transactions by Wed., Oct. 15.
- Month-End Close: September transactions will be converted to ConnectCarolina and we plan to post this mid-week. Users should reconcile September utilizing E-print or legacy Finance systems. Converted data does not have the information needed to reconcile like vendor or check request info, etc.
- Payroll Distribution: Payroll distribution for BWO6 has been posted.
- Budgets: Due to some association rule changes, trust and trust revenue budgets will be posted tonight. This will resolve the missing budgets issue.
- Receiving: If you are attempting to enter a receipt for a line that requires you to enter by quantity and this does not seem appropriate to you, please contact frs_receiving@unc.edu, provide the PO number, your contact name and your phone number. A purchasing agent will contact you to assist.
