As reported in an earlier news post, the Financial Web Apps (located in the FBS pagelet and FBS Admin pagelet) in the Campus Information System have moved to a different WEB Server.

As of today, March 13, 2009, ALL OLD Bookmarks  for  all U of U Web Applications (urls begin with www.acs.utah.edu/prod/financials, www.acs.utah.edu/prod/bin, and www.acs.utah.edu/prod/hrbin) will not work! 

Since these applications are all located inside the CIS, it is always best to select the desired application from the appropriate CIS menu

Ask Us if you have any questions.

The Purchasing Card Reallocation WEB application will be down Wednesday, February 18th until approximately 10:00 AM. We will be performing a required system upgrade. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any concerns, ask us.

Click Report Issues with FBS Web Applications for the latest updates.

All campus credit card processing using the UPAY system will be down on February 17th from 4:00AM to 6:00AM for systems updates.  Contact Lisa Zaelit 581-3968 or Lee Stenquist 585-3617 for questions or Ask Us if you have any questions concerning this post. 

A new page has been added to the FBS Web presence that will allow users to know of any issues with FBS Web Applications.  If known, issues are listed on the new page. If you are experiencing any issue not listed, a link exists on the page to report the issues to FBS.  The link to the new page is a picture of a lifesaver (below). This lifesaver has been strategically placed in various places in the FBS Web presence as well as the FBS pagelet in CIS.

Hyperlinks have been added to Management Reports and other web applications. These hyperlinks on column titles and labels, link to references explaining that particular topic and will help the user understand and use Management Reports as it was designed. How you will notice these references, they are red!  The Orgid lookup, Activity lookup and Project lookup pages now have dynamic column sorting.  A “sorting arrow” is located at the bottom of the column header which can be used to sort the page by that column.  This will make it easier for users to review the information on the screen without having to download to an Excel file.

The Financial Web Server has experienced intermittent problems the last few weeks. Some of the applications affected by this were: Management Reports, Limited Purchase Checks, PO applications and others. Your patience while we attempted to solve the problems is appreciated. Thanks to the diligence and hard work of the ACS team, we believe these issues have been resolved. Please continue to notify us in the future of any issues with the Financial Web Applications by clicking here.

A new WEB Server now hosts the University Financial Applications (Management Reports, Chartfield Lookups, etc.). This change should be transparent to the End-User.

Please contact someone in Financial and Business Services immediately if you experience any problems. 

We are pleased to announce the launch of two new queries in the Financial and Human Resources Information Library, under a new PROCURE/PAYMENT category:

  • PO’s not Vouchered by Org - Lists Purchase Orders where no PO vouchers have been created.
  • Unpaid PO Vouchers by Org - Lists Purchase Order vouchers that have not been paid.

These queries are available to users with Management Report Security at the OrgID level or above. You can access the Information Library from either the Financial Information Library or Human Resources Information Library link on the Campus Information System. Check out the query details from the “Description” tab.
