RCUH Vendor Payments for January 4, 2024

On Thursday, January 4, 2024, we encountered a system error that affected our end-of-day business processing.  Vendor payments for transactions approved on January 4 will be processed when the issue is resolved.

At this time, online purchasing, payment, and travel transactions cannot be approved in the Financial Portal until the issue is resolved.  We are working to resolve the issue and we will post an updated announcement when the Financial Portal is back in operation.

RCUH transactions approved on January 4 for UH Extramural and SRRC accounts will NOT be transmitted or posted to the UH Kuali Financial System, and UH Project Fiscal Reports may reflect incorrect amounts and balances until the issue is resolved.

Additionally, vendor payments for transactions approved on November 27 through November 30, December 4, December 14, December 21, December 22, and December 27 through December 29 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 (i.e., 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.
