The Department of FISCal (FI$Cal) continually makes updates and enhancements to the system based on feedback from our end users. Our goal is to improve usability while maintaining the highest level of security for the state’s data.
FI$Cal released the following enhancements in September (descriptions include ServiceNow case numbers):
Accounts Payable
Request: CS0403883
The State Treasures Office (STO) requested an enhancement to have the ‘STO Stop’ pay request automated in FI$Cal. Currently, all departments are doing stop pay requests manually by using STO Stop Payment Request Form 432. This enhancement brings more automation of processes into FI$Cal.
Enhancement/Solution
A custom code, page, security, and processes were developed as part of implementing this epic (CR016124, CR016204, CR016202, CR016209, CR016571).
Purchase Orders
