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.

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.

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.

Two new FORMS pages have been added to the FBS web presence.  This will enable visitors to have access to all the FBS forms in one place.  The forms are sorted alphabetically and by department.  A FORMS link on the top row of the FBS website has been added.  This will make it easy to find the form you need especially if you are not sure which department to look in for that form.  This is similar to the FORMS pages in the FBS pagelet in CIS.  On September 15, 2008, the FORMS links on the FBS pagelet will be changed to direct users to the new FBS FORMS pages.

All Financial WEB systems will be unavailable this Sunday, November 4, 2007, from 2:00 AM until approximately noon. This includes the WEB Management Reports and other Financial links located on the Financial & Business Services Pagelet of the CIS.

The University utilizes several different methods and tools in helping faculty and staff procure and pay for small dollar items. The P-Card is one of these tools, which has proven to be an efficient and cost-effective method for many departments within the University. A new memo from the Associate Vice President for Financial & Business Services encourages university business officers to look for opportunities to use the P-Card even more, where it is possible and practical to do so. Please click here for more details.
