Research Foundation Oracle Accounting System
 |
The Research Foundation Central
Office technical staff has been working diligently over the
last year on some very much-needed enhancements to the RF
Oracle Accounting System. |
One such enhancement, which will
be rolled out at the end of February, is the Project Investigator
Award Interface (PIAI). Through the PIAI you will be able
to access information on purchase orders, payment data, budgets
and expenditures that are easily accessible and extensive,
as well as more accurate and up to date than what is currently
available in the Oracle applications. Future enhancements
to the PIAI will include Human Resources and Labor Distribution
data, as well as Billing and Collections information.
The other enhancement to the system, that is about to be moved
to production, is the payroll encumbering solution. This will
allow for payroll charges to encumber correctly on an award
for the entire payroll period.
This is a major improvement because, as you know, up until
this point, partial payrolls at the end of award periods were
not fully encumbered causing balances to be overstated.
We are very excited about these changes, and will begin a
series of training sessions related to these system upgrades
during Bengal Pause on Tuesday, February 24 th in the Research
Foundation Conference Room. To sign up for a training session,
please complete and submit the Project
Investigator Award Interface and Encumbering Solution Training
Registration Form to Gina Game at gameg@rf.buffalostate.edu.
Reservations and questions related to this training should
be directed to Gina. |
