General Ledger
During the last week in February, 14 people from UH, UHCL and UHDTN were involved in the General Ledger User Acceptance Testing. They were set up as teams and entered different scenarios that pertain to the General Ledger. The results were 70% successful and 30% unsuccessful. Part of the reason for being unsuccessful was caused by interfacing with other systems.

LaRue Ninke and Debbie Jozwiak attended on March 9 the second session of Train the Trainer. Barbara Duarte reminded us many times this training is based on concepts not specific "how to."


News from Finance Office

Travel Updates

Effective February 1, 2001 the new Enterprise full size rental rate is $36.00 plus $0.80 license and tax reimbursement fee. All reservations should be faxed to the Rio Grande Branch (fax number 361-579-6718), if needed your reservation will be forwarded to the Navarro Branch. Thanks to everyone who attended the training session on February 13 to welcome our local Enterprise representatives.

Travel requests do not need to wait the 30 days prior to date of travel any longer. You may submit a travel request as long as it does not cross fiscal years when travel reservations are made.


Accounts Payable

Due to prompt payment requirements, please remember to date stamp all invoice copies.  When making copies, please check the results. Sometimes copies are too light or too dark to be legible, and occasionally important information, such as invoice numbers and amounts,

 may be "cut off". UH Records Retention has also requested not to highlight the original invoice because it will cause the information to black out when filming.

Reminder: Holiday Inn-Victoria requested that only lodging and appropriate taxes are billed to the University. Please advise your party not to charge meals. Your help is appreciated!

When dining at Johnny Carinos Country Italian Restaurant, please remember to ask for a copy of the numbered ticket used by the waitress. (This will be used as the invoice instead of the register receipt.) Please advise the cashier that we are tax exempt, too!

Delegated Departmental Purchases
Please note on your delegated departmental purchase invoices the delivery date of goods or service. You can make this note by simply writing on the invoice "Date of Delivery: _________". This will help with documentation backup for the delivery date on your voucher as required for the prompt payment law.

Pro Card Vouchers
Remember if you do not make the deadline (25th of each month) for Bank of America Pro Card payments, you will need to do a Journal Voucher (6X) to clear the default account. If you have any questions, please contact Greg Fanelli at extension 820 or Debbie Jozwiak at extension 852.


Central Receiving

If you are expecting a delivery of time sensitive materials, please contact Michele at extension 834 to let her know. This will save a delay in processing time of these packages.


A&F Training

We are changing the name of our training from A/P, Mail Services, Facilities, Purchase and Travel Training to A & F Training.
