On Thursday, July 25, 2024, we encountered an error with the FREDI transmission and posting of RCUH ND (Non-Check Disbursement) transactions to the UH Kuali Financial System. We are currently working on resolving this issue.
RCUH ND transactions approved on July 25 for UH Extramural and SRRC accounts were NOT transmitted or posted to the UH KFS, and UH Project Fiscal Reports may reflect incorrect amounts and balances until the issue is resolved. The error has not affected PO, POA, POC, or PREQ transactions which have been transmitted and posted to UH KFS.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].

The RCUH Financial Portal will be down for system maintenance from Sunday, July 7, 2024 11:30 p.m. to Monday, July 8, 2024 09:30 a.m. (HST). During this time period, Fiscal Administrators will not be able to approve online purchasing, payment, and travel transactions in the Financial Portal.

Fiscal Administrators may currently encounter an “insufficient funds” error message if they attempt to approve an online purchasing, payment, or travel transaction for a UH KFS Extramural or SRRC account in the RCUH Financial Portal.

FY 2025 opening balances are scheduled to be loaded into KFS and RCUH on Monday, July 8, 2024.
In addition, UH Project Fiscal Reports may reflect incorrect amounts and balances until opening balances are loaded into KFS for FY 2025.
