  16. . . . a little fancier . . .

  17. Now it is sorted by date

  18. A little fancier: query on two columns

  19. Tips on entering dates • Banner assumes current year and current month: 11092004 = 09-NOV-2004 1109 = 09-NOV-2005 09 = 09-APR-2005 • Any letter in any date field means current date: X = 05-APR-2005

  20. Tips on editing Journal Vouchers • Changing the header date will re-edit all the transactions • can be time consuming, but beats doing it manually! • Querying on status indicator “E” will find records set to error status • Sometimes status is set to null. Use expert query to find : is null • $0.00 amount. If this errors out, use [Record Remove].

  22. Tips on Year End

  23. Before June 30th • Review FTMCOAS and FTMFTYP set-up • Run FPPPOBC (Purchase order batch close) • Clean up suspended documents • Be sure that funds terminating June 30th or earlier are “zeroed out”

  24. Before June 30th • Run FGRGLRL in audit mode and check for the following key words: • “No Fund” • “Fund Balance Indicator” • “General Ledger” • “Do Not Balance” • “Accumulated Balance”

  25. After close of day June 30th • Run TSRDETL (Student AR detail) • Back up and save AR tables before start-of-business in the new year • Detail AP reconciliation • Scheme for identifying old-year invoices entered in the new year?

  26. July/August timing • Run FGRGLRL • Date? I’d suggest around July 15 - 20 • Concurrent year processing and FOMPROF • When does period 14 (“Accrual Period”) start? • Run FGRENRL • Probably immediately after FGRGLRL • Encumbrances can be rolled manually using an E090 rule code

  27. July/August timing • Run FGRBDRL • Wait as long as possible! • Grant implications • Don’t run FGRCLOP • ever! • Any other suggestions or “lessons learned”?

  28. Any other: clever ideas? shortcuts? pearls of wisdom? Questions?
