Top Issues
- Trust Expense Budgets: Two methods were used to convert Trust Expense budgets, and the method chosen was based on whether or not the Source was set up for Associated Revenue. For those Sources not set up with the Associated Revenue linkage, all budget transactions with an FRS Transaction Code (TC Code) of 020, 021, 022 that occurred during the months of July, August and September of 2014 were converted in. For those set up for Associated Revenue, only the 7/1/14 beginning budget that was carried over from the 6/30/14 budget balance available was converted in. Please submit a budget journal, using the TRUST Ledger Group, to have budget added that should have been posted as carry forward budget on 7/1, but wasn’t posted until a later date.
- Web Travel: Some users were having difficulty rejecting documents. A fix took place last night that addresses this problem.
- Procurement: Please direct all calls for functional or business process-related issues to Procurement Support at 919-962-3722. For technical issues, please continue to utilize the Help Desk.
- Receiving Demo: We are planning a Receiving Large Venue Demo From 2:30-3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6, in the Stone Center’s Hitchcock Room. No registration is required.
