Aggie Enterprise System Known Issues and Approved Change Requests

 

In Progress Log

This log tracks issues and approved change requests impacting Aggie Enterprise processes and reports.

  • Finance, including PPM Projects
  • AreaSummaryDescription and WorkaroundStatusCreated Date
    GL balancesIncorrect carryforward balances posting to unit instead of central accounting financial departments

    Carryforward offsets erroneously posted to academic and administrative units instead of Central Office General Accounting. This may impact the available balances units are seeing at go-live.

    Update 1/15/24 - Corrections have been loaded, with additional follow-up needed.
         • 18 funds are still out of balance
         • Self-supporting funds need analysis
            (121XXX)

    Do not make any significant financial management decision based on the budgets in the General Ledger until a correction is made

    • Accounting and Financial Reporting will create journals to correct this error. The estimated date for correction is pending (check back for updates)

    In Progress

    >2/15/24 update: A one-time process is underway to support Correcting Chart String Balances (and PPM Budgets) Post Go-Live

    >3/13/24: Units to submitted  files for converted balance corrections, including PPM budgets; central team to make updates in Aggie Enterprise (updates viewable in Aggie Enterprise - TBD)

    1/3/24
    GL balances and PPM BudgetsNot all Chart of Accounts (CoA) mapping incorporated into converted balances/PPM Budgets for go-live

    A Knowledge Base Article (KBA) for Correcting Chart String Balances (and PPM Budgets) Post Go-Live outlines the one-time process that will be used to correct GL balances and PPM Budgets. Until these corrections are made, do not adjust balances for incorrect chart strings in the GL; and do not adjust budgets for incorrect PPM projects. 

    To prepare for the correction process:

    Watch the tutorial to learn how to use the Inquire on Detail Balances tool in the General Accounting Dashboard to verify the balances you want to reclassify to a different chart string. 

    Coordinate with your unit's CoA Mapping Lead.

    In Progress:

    >2/9/24: Non-CGA PPM December budgets have been loaded, validation in progress

    >2/7/24: Files have been released to units

    >3/13/24: Units to submitted  files for converted balance corrections, including PPM budgets; central team to make updates in Aggie Enterprise (updates viewable in Aggie Enterprise - TBD)

    PPM Non-Sponsored Projects Incorrect budget load during conversion

    The budgets loaded into PPM Non-Sponsored Projects are have a budget as of October close. 

    December 2023 close balances from KFS will be loaded as PPM Budgets end-of-January, to ensure they match the converted budget balances in the GL. At that time, everything will be up-to-date from a conversion standpoint.

    Related: CGA is working to process new and amended projects received after November 21st. 

    In Progress:

    >2/9/24: Non-CGA PPM December budgets have been loaded, validation in progress
    1/8/24
    PPM Department Kick-Out (DKO) projectLogic for PPM Department Kick-Out projects requires correction

    There are cases where the Department Kick-Out (DKO) logic is not working as expected and transactions are not posting to DKO projects, including payroll transactions.

     This issue impacts the DKO process and the UCPath Labor Ledger Processing (I-101 and I-370).

     Currently, there is no workaround. The Aggie Enterprise team is actively focusing on enhancing DKO validation requirements and thoroughly testing the accurate posting of transactions.  

    In Progress

    >3/25/24 update: DKO projects still in progress

  • Gifts and Endowment
  • AreaSummaryDescription and WorkaroundStatusCreated Date
    Foundation Funds

    Foundation Funds beginning with 6XXXX or 7XXXX were created in error and have been inactivated.

    Central Accounting will research and address any balances on these funds.

    Early on in conversion planning, Foundation funds were assigned 6xxxx and 7xxxx fund numbers. It was later decided to change them to alpha-numeric funds (See Understanding Gift Fund Value Structure KBA).  
    • Note: Past iterations of department mapping may have included the 6xxxx and 7xxxx Foundation funds, which have now been inactivated.

    In addition, Foundation provided a list of allocations that are inactive and should not have been brought over to Aggie Enterprise. In some cases, funds were set up for these allocations using the 6xxxx/7xxxx fund numbering (and then disabled in January). Departments have reported that there are KFS balances as of 12/31 for some of these allocations. Central Accounting will need to research and possibly create a new alpha-numeric fund so the balance can be transferred over.

    For departments:
    If you come across a balance in a 6XXXX or 7XXXX fund that has been inactivated, please submit a ticket to the Gift & Endowment team. Use the Aggie Enterprise Help Request Form, selecting the following:

    Not all Catalogs loaded at go-live date; and Catalogs are continually being added.

    As of 2/15/24 the following catalogs are live: AggieSupply Stores, Amazon, CDWG*, Dell, Fisher Scientific, Fastenal, Grainger, Life Technologies, Medline, Millipore-Sigma, Neta Scientific, ODP (Office Depot), Thomas Scientific, VWR

    >2/15/24 update: See Catalog Supplier plan for list of expected availability

    1/4/24
    Purchase Order (PO) ConversionNo sales tax converted for open PO linesDue to complexity of extracting correct sales tax for only open purchase order lines from Kuali, converted POs in Aggie Enterprise do not include sales tax. When converted POs are invoiced, correct sales tax will be calculated by tax engine and will be paid based on zip code listed in PO and vendor charged tax. On-going for all converted POs 1/23/24
  • Accounts Payable
  • AreaSummaryDescription and WorkaroundStatusCreated Date
    Accounts Payable - PaymentsACH payments remittance emails not set up for all vendorsAt go-live not all vendors have ACH remittance email addresses set up in their records. AP and Supplier Services will continue working to add these emails so remittance notifications can go out to payees.

    Vendors with questions on ACH payments should contact aphelp@ucdavis.edu
    In Progress1/22/24
    Accounts Payable – Invoicing on Converted POsMapping of CoA/PPM on invoices of converted POs may not reflect desired mapping

    Purchase orders were converted based on the CoA/PPM rules that were established for go-live. The invoicing team is unable to update the existing accounting information.

    In the event that these rules do not reflect the department's desired mapping, the recommended guidance is to reallocate the expense after the invoice is approved. This can be done through a journal or PPM cost transfer.

    On-going -Manual workaround required1/22/24

    GL Revenue Transfer JournalsRevenue Transfer journals for GL only recharges are auto-rejectingUnits who submit recharge billing to GL only chart strings on their own using the UCD Revenue Transfer Journal process will have their journal auto-reject.  This is expected to be fixed very quickly so please wait to submit your journal until the fix is completed. 

    If your journal has already auto-rejected you can resubmit the rejected journal after the fix (if you do not want to resubmit your journal for approval, then you should click Batch Actions and select the Delete option from the drop-down menu to delete the rejected journal).

If they are still valid and need to be in Aggie Enterprise, please process a Requisition and note in your request that this is an attempt to recreate a PO from KFS that did not convert.
