Answers to Questions from Oracle PLUG 10/31/2011 Session

PLUG Subscribers,

At yesterday's PLUG session, we had a couple of questions that we needed to get back with you on.  One was a request to get a list of the Oracle Workflows that indicate which is in EBS and which is in FMW (Fusion Middle Ware).  The other was about when the Pcard workflow cutoff will be.

Attached is a spreadsheet containing a list of the Oracle workflows.  It indicates which module it is in and which workflow tool it uses.  As discussed at the meeting, this is important to know because the FMW workflow does not appear on the Oracle Applications Home Page, nor does it prompt you when you log into Oracle that you have any waiting notifications for your review.  Approvers have to remember to navigation to the FMW worklist found on the Navigator or Oracle Applications Home Page and look to see if any are in their FMW worklist.

In response to the second item, if a Cardholder begins the Verification process of a p-card transaction, then the process (approval to Invoice Interface to AP) must be completed before AP's workflow cutoff date (Thursday, November 17) on interfacing claims and validation.  The November Bank File will be delayed until Monday, November 28th.

If you have more questions about the PCard or P2P cutoff dates, it will be covered in the Procure to Pay Users' Group meeting, which will be held Wednesday, November 9, 2011.  There will be 2 sessions (10:00 am -12:00 pm and 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm at CAC Lower Level Bay Side II Room) offered to best accommodate everyone's schedule. There is no need to reserve, just show up for the session that works best for you.  To limit the impact on parking, we encourage those of you traveling from outside the CAC (e.g. COC) to take the COC shuttle service or carpool with others.

If you have any other questions, please contact Eyah Jerauld at eyah.jerauld@sdcounty.ca.gov or the Oracle and Kronos Support Center at (619) 515-4377.
