This Finance Division Daily Update email is for Business Managers, MOU Leads, Finance TIPs, Finance Campus Working Groups and Finance Division staff. Finance will send these daily updates as needed. Please share with the ConnectCarolina Finance users in your school/division.
Top Issues
- Web Travel: On Friday, we shared that a fix was being worked for a known issue with the interface between ConnectCarolina and Web Travel. The fix is complete, so payments made in ConnectCarolina will be posted overnight to Web Travel. Note: the update process runs once a day. So a change made today will not be reflected in Web Travel until tomorrow. This fix has updated travel document status for all vouchers.
- Journal Entries: We are aware of an issue with users not being able to do correcting journal entries on converted data. We are working on a resolution, and will let you know as soon as users are able to do these entries.
