Reminder: PeopleSoft Financials code freeze begins Monday

Hello, 

As a reminder, OMES will implement a systemwide code freeze beginning Monday, April 6, to prepare for the PeopleSoft Financials upgrade to version PUM 53. 

A code freeze is a period where we temporarily pause any new system modifications or design changes. During this time, any ServiceNow requests that require development or design changes will be placed on hold. We will resume processing these modifications once the upgrade is complete on April 20. 

To help users navigate the new features and interface of PUM 53, a live demonstration session will be available Monday, April 13, from 1-3 p.m. This session will provide a walkthrough of the updated system to ensure a smooth transition for all agency partners. You can enroll now via Workday@OK.

Key dates to remember: 

• Monday, April 6: The code freeze begins. 
• Monday, April 13: A training session will be available to help users navigate the new features of PUM 53.
• Friday, April 17: PeopleSoft will be offline for maintenance starting at 5 p.m. and will remain unavailable through the weekend.
• Monday, April 20: The upgraded version of PeopleSoft Financials will be available to all users. 

We understand that urgent needs may arise. If you have an emergency request during the freeze, the OMES Finance Center of Excellence, Information Services or Central Purchasing divisions can submit a justification for special review. 

We look forward to sharing the new features of PUM 53 with you soon. If you have questions about how these changes might affect your work, please submit a Service Desk ticket.

Thank you for your patience and partnership during this system update.
