Attention Colleagues,
The fiscal year-end close and subsequent new year setup has resulted in some unintended consequences regarding Oracle Procurement workflow.
Requisitions Pending Transition to Purchase Orders (POs) Prior to 7/1/2024
An issue was recently identified with Oracle Requisitions created prior to 7/1/2024 that did not have a corresponding Purchase Order created by 6/30/2024. Oracle will not allow crossing fiscal years when transitioning from Requisition to Purchase Order. The most feasible solution identified is for Business & Financial Services (BFS) to initiate a mass cancellation of these Requisitions. The estimated completion date is 7/12/2024. Following the mass cancellation process, campus users will need to create a new Requisition, if so needed. Refer to the following instructions to help simplify the process (link).
Purchase Orders Created Prior to 7/1/2024 but Not Approved by 6/30/2024
Purchase Orders created prior to 7/1/2024, but not approved by 6/30/2024, will require line-item budget date updates. The budget date on the PO Distributions tab must be updated to 7/1/2024 to allow successful PO approval workflow.
Change Orders on Purchase Orders Created Prior to 7/1/2024
A solution is being worked on to address new fiscal year Change Order errors on Purchase Orders created prior to 7/1/2024. More information coming soon.
Your patience is greatly appreciated as the team continues to work to resolve issues. There is no longer a need to submit tickets through the finance and administration portal, as we are aware of the issues. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Asirra Suguitan
