Business Process Changes for the 2008 Program Release
SFS Status during the Program Release
On February 8, 2008, SFS will be taken down to prepare for the Program Release. We estimate the down time to be 2 weeks.
We understand that this will cause difficulty for the campus community and are working to minimize the impact as much as possible. During this outage, payment transaction processing including invoice payments against purchase orders, direct payments, TERs, PIRs and Travel Advances will not be available in normal processing mode. Emergency procedures will be available to make those payments on a limited basis.
Salary and non-salary cost transfer processes will not be available until SFS comes back up.
All procurement transactions will be available, including Purchasing Cards, MDS Prime Vendors and online ordering, and Purchase Orders. Cash deposits will continue to be made during the down time. Revenue and Sales Credit transfers will continue to be processed. None of these transactions will appear in WISDM until SFS comes back up.
Financial information accessed primarily through WISDM will be available only in a frozen form as of the Program Release date, until SFS comes back up later in February.
