September is closed, so you may run September reports starting tomorrow.

We are pleased to announce that the temporary issue affecting purchase order (PO) numbers on the Finance Dashboard has been resolved.

As we previously noted, PO numbers for orders created after June 30, 2025, were temporarily unavailable in the Non-Labor Encumbrance Details section due to fiscal year-end processing. This work is now complete, and all PO numbers are displaying accurately.

The workaround of using the Purchasing and Payments Dashboard is no longer necessary for this purpose. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your patience.

August is closed, so you may run August reports after 10 p.m. tonight.

The dashboards are not refreshed this morning due to a technical issue related to the most recent Oracle update, and that has caused multiple dashboard screens to be unable to populate data. The issue is actively being worked on, and the refresh process should return to normal by tomorrow.

For any purchase orders created after 6/30/25, the purchase order number is temporarily unavailable on the Finance Dashboard>Non-Labor Encumbrance Details. This change is not due to a system issue, but rather downstream impact from a time-sensitive update made on 6/30/25 for fiscal year-end processing. The purchase order number will be available again, but the Purchasing and Payments Dashboard can be used in the meantime. Thank you for your patience.

July is closed, so you may run July reports after 10 p.m. tonight.

The issue has been resolved and the dashboards have been refreshed.

Please be aware that the dashboards have not refreshed since last week as a result of an Oracle update released on July 31st. The issue has been raised with Oracle, and any updates will be provided as soon as they are received or once the issue has been resolved. Thank you.

The fund balance roll for FY25 activity to FY26 has been posted in July business in account 4999 and is currently visible in the finance dashboard.

This entry summarizes all FY25 revenue, transfer, and expense accounts for each unique combination of entity, org, fund type, fund source, program, activity, and location. This entry does not include 100.000000, as that carryover process is done by the budget office. This entry also does not include endowment and investment funds – this same process will be done for those at the end of August.

June is now closed. Final FY25 data will be available through the finance dashboard after tonight.

The fund balance roll entry will be posted next week. This is the entry that updates the beginning balance (account 4999) in July FY26 for the activities posted in FY25.

July close is scheduled for August 7th. Monthly office hours will resume in September.
