(Issue 1460) Updated 5/21/18 - This was previously targeted as a fix on 5/20 with the Project Costing implementation. This item is still in process. Resolved 5/29/18 HCM and Finance queries can't be found (Issue 1469): Finance: On 5/7, the FAR_PURCHASE_PO_REMAINING_BAL could not be found. This was fixed on 5/7/18. HCM: From 5/7 - 5/25, some "Q" users could not find some Private queries in HCM. The problem was around any query that referenced LOCATION_TBL_V2. On 5/25, that record was fixed/updated to “M_LOCATION_TB_V”. Moving forward, "Q" users need to use M_LOCATION_TB_V. Update 5/7/18 - Restored FAR_PURCHASE_PO_REMAINING_BAL, continuing to work on HCM private queries Updated 5/10/18 - The project team is still actively working on the HCM private queries.

Finance - PO double emails: From 5/7 - 5/9, double emails were sent when dispatching POs. The Suppliers and Buyers were receiving 2 emails: One was from the Buyer, one was from SDFP92@CherryRoad.com. This issue was fixed on 5/10/18. (Issue 1470) Added 5/7/18 Updated 5/9/18: Alternate approach at this time - Dispatch the PO from the Add/Update POs page. Use the one-time email feature and enter only the Buyer’s email address (the buyer will receive duplicate emails). Forward the email to the Supplier. Resolved 5/10/18
Finance - T&E Expense Report error: On 5/7 and 5/8, users could not enter an expense report (Lakeside and SDCOE). An error was occurring. This high priority issue was fixed on 5/9/18. (Issue 1463)

Finance - PO Comments disappearing: Documents denied on 05/07 and onwards, the comments are showing, as expected. The problem is that for documents denied before 05/07, the comments disappeared. Approvers and those who submitted cannot see why the documents were denied. (Issue 1525) Added 6/8/18
Finance - Travel & Expense: Newly-added EX_USR_EE_AUTH component (DEFINE_EXPENSES_SECURITY menu) doesn’t have security by district. The TE Admins (like Keri for Lakeside, user 446731) had the “districts seeing other districts’ data” issue on the Authorize Expense Users page included in their role.

HCM - M_AM_DISTRICT_BALANCES query: The M_AM_DISTRICT_BALANCES query is taking too long to run. An example is 15-20 minutes to return 2000 rows. This has been reported and is being worked on by the technical team. (Issue 1481) Added 5/9/18 Finance - PO Report Manager: Comm Cntrl Budget Processor (a non-report related job instance) is appearing on Report Manager. Before the upgrade, only report-related job and document links (.pdf) were listed on Report Manager > Administration tab. (Issue 1489) Added 5/14/18
Finance - AP Voucher self-approval not approving: Those set up as self-approvers will have the vouchers route for approval rather than be approved instantly. Go into the Worklist to approve your vouchers. This has been reported and is being worked on by the technical team. (Issue 1490) Added 5/8/18 Updated 5/14/18 as Issue 1490
Finance - AP Voucher Upload: The Voucher Upload is not working, user gets error message. (Issue 1493) Added 5/15/18
Finance - IN Receipt Pending not showing: This is a Receipt Inventory issue where Pending is not showing. Example: When receiving items on a PO with 3 items pending, only 1 item shows up; the 2 that do not show up had prior partial receipts. (Issue 1491) Added 5/14/18
Portal - Weblogic message: Some users see "Welcome to Weblogic Application Service 12.1" on the Portal page. They need to click on the link to be able to get to the Portal. This occurs even after clearing cache. (Issue 1484) Added 5/10/18 Things to Be Aware OfScheduled Queries: Some scheduled queries might return no data (ex: M_BUDGET_ACTUALS). See screenshot. ACTION: Impacted users will need to update the parameters of the scheduled query. Added 5/7/18 Finance - AP Vouchers: Please be aware that the Calculate button moved. See screenshot. No action necessary. This is just information for you to be aware of. Added 5/7/18
Finance - Budget Journal: Budget journals for the next fiscal year (2019) that were in approved status on Friday are now in Cancelled budget status. District is unable to resubmit the journals as the status for each approver still shows as Approved. The entries must be copied as new and submitted again with the old entries being deleted. Added 5/8/18
Finance - Requisitions Mass Change: On the Requisition, when using Mass Change, the screen now says: “Please enter GL Business Unit before selecting other chartfield values.” You must enter the GL Unit first. Then other fields will have values in the lookups. See screenshot. If you do not enter the GL Unit, the lookups appear blank. We have received reports of “My Chartfields are blank” and “I can’t use Mass Change.” It is due to this change in process. Added 5/8/18
Finance - Manage Requisitions: The Clear button on Manage Requisitions does not clear out dates. When you click the Clear button on the Manage Requisitions search screen, the date range remains. It now shows a 3-month date range. See screenshot. Added 5/8/18 Finance - Travel Authorization red flags: Some users are reporting the inability to "clear out red flags" on the TA. If you receive red flags on the TA that do not resolve after entering correct information, click Save for Later (top-right). See screenshot. Clicking Save for Later resolves the red flags. Added 5/8/18
HCM - DBT Taxes Tab: For some users, the "Taxes tab" grid personalizations might be missing. A couple of users reported this on Sunday, 5/6/18. ACTION: Impacted users will need to re-setup the Taxes tab personalizations. For directions, see "One-Time DBT Setup" on p.25 of HR5 Department Budget Table Guide v5.0.pdf. Added 5/7/18
HCM - Absence Event Screen: Only Absences that have not been Finalized can be deleted on the Absence Event screen. For any Finalized absence requests the Delete (minus sign) no longer displays. You can use the Timesheet screen (Manager Self Service >Time Management > Report Time > Timesheet) to delete Finalized Absences.
