Top Issues
- Finding the fund and source that should be used with OSR project IDs: OSR has received several questions regarding how to find the fund and source that should be used when initiating a transaction using a project ID. The fund and source values have been added to the RAMSeS new project ID notification email that is generated when a new project ID is created. In addition, the fund and source can be located on the budget when viewing the budget overview in ConnectCarolina and in InfoPorte.
- Viewing OSR budgets with cost share: When viewing budget and actuals in ConnectCarolina and InfoPorte for a project ID that has a cost share, please note searching on the project ID only will return budget and actuals including cost share. To view budget and actuals for the non-cost share portion, you will need to search by project ID and source together.

- Commitment Accounting: A new Quick Reference Card, Working with Budget Errors and Warnings, addresses fixing common budget errors and warnings when working with ePar forms. Find it on the Resources page of the ccinfo site.
- Budget Check when Submitting Requisitions: In Friday’s Daily Update, we shared that we have received tickets from users who stated they were unable to submit orders and were unaware of a new requirement to check the budget before submitting a requisition in ePro Vendor Catalog. The submit buttons will be available once the requisition has a valid budget. To further clarify, this requirement is for all requisitions, not only Vendor Catalog.
