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.

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

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.

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.
