PEOPLESOFT 8.4 UPGRADE
The PeopleSoft 8.4 upgrade is tentatively scheduled for the first week in June.

As soon as 8.4 goes live, work sessions will be held for at least 2 weeks.   You can check HR’s training schedule for dates as they are set.   (Navigation:   in Outlook, click on Public Folders, then All Public Folders, then Campus Calendars, and finally Training.

HR will be emailing out schedules as updates are made.   Houston’s interactive web training site is located at:   http://www.uh.edu/finance/
Training.html
.   These are still a work in progress, but more is made available as time allows.

UHV PeopleSoft Training Classes
The only PeopleSoft 7.6 version training being offered until training is completed for 8.4, will be the Monthly Verification Work Sessions and any New Hire classes.   If you have any special needs, please let us know.

Signature Authority Update
The Department Tree & Department Manager Listing have been posted to the web at which states who can sign for which departments.   Please check both for accuracy.   Any corrections need to be directed to the Comptroller.

In cases where the original authority will have someone signing documents for them, please send Finance, Budget, & HR an email stating who, when, and for which cost center(s).   A copy of the email should be attached to each voucher, journal, and BAR that requires a substitute signature.

If you have any questions on the Department Tree, please give us a call.

 

FINDING ACCOUNTS
There are two ways to find account numbers, depending on what information you want.  1)  If you know the account number and want to see a "long description," please log on to PeopleSoft production.  Then click on Go, then Use, then Account, then Description.  Enter the account number and click OK.  This will show the long description.  If you want to see another just click on the blue check mark.

2) If you do not know the account number, you may want to use the web search method:  Go to http://www.uh.edu/
finance/
then References then FRS Account Control and Subcode to PeopleSoft Account.  Leave all defaults, enter part of the description (be it a word or phrase), then click Start Search.  You will see a list to choose from and you may want a deeper explanation.  If this is the case, use step 1 search method.

BARs “Backup” Update
To ensure that your Budget Adjustment Requests (BARs) are processed quickly, please check that the necessary supporting documents are attached and properly signed.
Also, BARs and any G/L journals that relate specifically to the BARs, need to be e-mailed to BudgetJE@uhv.edu <mailto:BudgetJE@uhv.edu>.   These particular G/L journals will be forwarded to Finance after auditing.
