ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ

The Chart of Accounts conversion began on Thursday, Nov. 30 at 5 p.m.

Fall financial review meetings were held in October and November. Important upcoming dates in the FY19 Budget Development Process include:

As the Financial Systems Enhancements project team prepares to convert to the new Chart of Accounts and Grants Module, we have developed Finance Lookup tools that are now available to all OHIO faculty and staff in Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI).

ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ will convert to a new Chart of Accounts beginning Thursday, November 30 at 5:00 PM through Tuesday, December 12 at 12:00 PM. The Chart of Accounts conversion will affect individuals across all ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ campuses and many systems will be unavailable for processes because of this conversion.

A new policy at ÃÛèÖÊÓƵ is one of several recent steps in making OHIO’s online presence more accessible, ensuring an equal opportunity for all students to access technology and online tools related to their educational experience.

The new Payment Request Form rolled out September 18 in BobcatBUY (BCB). Accounts Payable, along with Finance Customer Care, the Purchasing Department and the Financial & Administrative Systems Team closely monitored the post-implementation utilization of the new form to identify and address issues and questions.

One of the time-saving features in BobcatBUY is the ability to copy a previous requisition and add to a draft cart. This saves many keystrokes.
