On Tuesday, November 15, 2022, we encountered a system error that affected our end-of-day business processing. We are continuing to work on resolving this issue. Vendor payments for transactions approved on Tuesday, November 15, Wednesday, November 16, and Thursday, November 17 will be processed when the issue is resolved.
The Financial Portal will remain open and online purchasing, payment, and travel transactions can be created and approved. However, RCUH transactions approved on November 15, 16, and 17 for UH Extramural 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.
Manual checks can be issued during this period on an emergency basis. Fiscal Administrators should contact RCUH Disbursing at [email protected].
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
