Relocation of RCUH Financial Services Office (Procurement and Disbursing)

The RCUH Financial Services Department will be relocating from Sakamaki Hall C-200 to the 4th Floor of Burns Hall, East-West Center, beginning on October 19, 2012.

The office will close at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, October 19, 2012 for the relocation. This is the last time projects will be able to deliver and pick up mail and checks from Sakamaki C-200.

During the October 22-24, 2012 period, mail delivery/pick up (including checks) will be available at Burns Hall 4012. However, staff will have very limited ability to service projects. Since phone and fax communication lines will be in transition, there is the possibility that voice messages and faxes may never be delivered. The best way to contact them is via email; they will respond to messages as soon as they are able to.

The Financial Services Office will re-open for full service on Thursday, October 25, 2012.

Inactivation of FMIS Property Codes – Applicable to Federal and Private FREDI Accounts Only

 

On July 5, 2012, RCUH announced that the UH Property & Fund Management Office (PFMO) was establishing new KFS property object codes and that old FMIS codes would be deleted.  FMIS-coded RCUH encumbrances were allowed to be “carried over” to KFS but PFMO plans to inactivate the old FMIS codes shortly. 

 

Please use the KFS property codes on any new RCUH encumbrances. 

 

A RCUH payment using an inactive FMIS code will be rejected by KFS.  We strongly suggest you make changes to any existing RCUH encumbrance using the old FMIS property codes.

 

Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions.  Thank you.
