COR Duplication Problem for July and August Expiring CORs - Updated 6/25/2008
UPDATED **Our IT staff has fixed the problem that caused the duplication in your July and August CORs. We have printed the COR lists for blanket orders ending in July 2008 and re-populated them in the requisition generator. We began to distribute the lists for July CORs on 6/03/2008 and you should have received the replacements via campus mail. Your COR lists for blanket orders ending in August 2008 have been printed and populated in the requisition generator. Distribution of the August COR lists began 6/18/08 via campus mail and you should have received those replacement lists. The normal September 2008 CORs have been completed and distribution of these reports began 6/25/2008 via campus mail.**
We have identified a COR duplication problem where some of the numbers were given out twice. The problem is limited to those CORs produced to replace blanket orders expiring in July 2008 and August 2008. For some of these orders, a glitch in the system was found that caused the numbers to be assigned twice so that when you logged into the requisition generator and tried to update the requisition using the new number, you saw someone else’s order.
Please look carefully at your COR summary sheets. If the second line of the header in the middle of the page reads “FOR July, 2008 “ or “FOR August, 2008” discard the reports and do not submit the requisitions. These requisitions have been deleted from the requisition generator. Our IT staff is working to correct the problem. We will re-run the COR reports for orders expiring in July and August 2008, assign new requisition numbers, and redistribute them within the next two weeks.
If the second line of the header reads “FOR ORDERS EXPIRING June 30, 2008” your CORs are unaffected and should be processed.
Thank you for your patience and assistance as we work to correct this problem. |
