RCUH Vendor Payments for July 09, 2024 – UPDATE

The RCUH Financial Portal is back in operation and Fiscal Administrators may resume approving transactions.

On Tuesday, July 09, 2024, we encountered a system error that affected our end-of-day business processing.  Vendor payments for transactions approved on July 09 will be processed in accordance with our normal processing schedule.

RCUH transactions approved on July 09 for UH Extramural and SRRC accounts will be transmitted and posted to the UH Kuali Financial System on July 10.

Additionally, vendor payments for transactions approved July 08 have been processed in accordance with our normal processing schedule.  Checks were printed and distributed, and ePayments (ACH and Card) were processed.  However, the Financial Portal Approved listing screens and Search All Documents have not been updated with payment information (Check Date, Check Number, Payment Type) for transactions approved on those days.  Thank you for your patience as we continue to work on resolving this issue.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

Financial System Processing Now Available

RCUH’s fiscal year-end processing has been completed and the RCUH financial system is now open for Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. Fiscal Administrators may now approve online purchasing, payment, and travel transactions in the Financial Portal. The first check run for Fiscal Year 2025 will be on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at 4:00 PM.

UH Project Fiscal Reports may reflect incorrect amounts and balances until KFS is opened for FY 2025.  Until KFS is opened for FY 2025, please use the Mass Printing Reports to access the UH Project Fiscal Reports as of June 2024 and earlier.

Reminder: Service dates are required for all payment transactions approved through Friday, August 30, 2024. The service date format is MM/DD/YYYY.  For payments approved after July 31, 2024, $100,000 or greater, and with service dates of June 30 or earlier, please complete the RCUH AP Worksheet. Please include estimates or projections for invoices that have not been received as of July 31, 2024.  Please email your worksheet to Staci Saito at [email protected] by Thursday, August 1, 2024.  If there are no payments to report, please email Staci to report there are no items by Thursday, August 1, 2024.
