RCUH Vendor Payments for April 5, 2024 – UPDATE

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

On Friday, April 5, 2024, we encountered a system error which affected our end of day business processing.  Vendor payments for transactions approved on April 5 will be processed in accordance with our normal processing schedule.

RCUH transactions approved on April 5 for UH Extramural and SRRC accounts will be transmitted and posted to the UH Kuali Financial System on April 8.

Additionally, vendor payments for transactions approved on April 3 and April 4 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].
