eTRAVEL NEW RELEASE & MOD LIST

RELEASE 2.1

Implemented April 29, 2009 :
On Step 1,
  • Added "Process Via" field so users can select UH Disbursing or UH Foundation. For those using eTravel to process UH Foundation-funded trips, this makes the process easier as Disbursing is excluded from the workflow and documents stop at the Fiscal Office.

  • Added "Number of Accounts" field which drives the Accounting Method. Users continue to select Manual Accounting unnecessarily which creates additional work for the Fiscal Office and Disbursing as more stringent audit is required.

  • Added "Fixed Amount" Accounting Method. Users may input flat dollar amounts by account code and the system will do all the work of distributing subcodes and dollar mounts.
Within the Itinerary, added calendar images to simplify date and time inputs.
Implementing a direct feed to FMIS to eliminate keypunching for Disbursing. This includes:

  • New document status of "Released".  Note: The Voucher status will continue to be used for all documents that cannot feed electronically (documents using frozen accounts, final accounts, advances where a stop check was issued).

  • JVs will feed electronically to FMIS Screen 014. Previously JVs were keypunched to Screen 025 and credited in lump sum based on how it was paid out.  Using Screen 014 means the JV section will look and be processed differently as there will be matching debit and credit entries.
Integration with the new ePayment application so future travel payments can be via EFT (electronic funds transfer to the traveler's bank account) vs. paper check. EFT will be released systemwide at the start of the 2010 fiscal year.
Various usability enhancements, including maximizing the screen width for higher resolution monitors.
