Current Status
No systems are offline.
Top Issues
- Mapping: Mapping was sent to MOU Leads today. Please send it back quickly so we can process and post early next week. We understand OSR budgets are holding up some HR actions, and we will post those as quickly as we can.
- State Expenses: June 2014 State Expense 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.
- Budgets:
- The project team has unposted all trust and trust revenue budget activity and is re-loading these to be ready by Monday. This will resolve the missing budgets issue.
- Payroll distribution for BWO6 will be posted later today.
