June Month End Certified Report Location
Fiscal Year 2010 is now open and the NCAS is available for processing transactions.

Reminder: Certified month-end reports for June 29, 2009 will be located in the Systemware report series OSCOP* MOCEY.

Additionally, all the automated cash requisition entries generated from Accounts Payable check payments on June 30 contain an effective date of June 30 in the BC Unfinished Documents List (BC screen 181). Do not kill and rekey these documents if the totals are correct. Once the documents are ended, the NCAS will automatically change the effective date from June 30 to June 29 before the transactions process tonight.

All BC journal vouchers that are keyed with a ‘2’ in the third position of the document id with an effective date of June 30 will also have the effective date programmatically changed to June 29. The only exception to this rule is any document id that contains a ‘23’ in the third and fourth positions.

No precertifications for the month of June 2009 are currently being checked. Once all systems have been updated and balanced, the OSC will begin checking month-end certifications as requested.

Reminder - System Availability
The NCAS will NOT be available on Wednesday, July 1, 2009, for online inquiry or processing. I.E. system availability, NCAS file access, and year-end processing will be restricted to OSC personnel only on that day.

Agencies can print accounts payable checks through TSO on Wednesday (July 1). Interface files submitted on Wednesday (July 1) will not process until Thursday’s (July 2) production cycle.

All NCAS functions will resume on Thursday, July 2, 2009. Production reports for Tuesday night’s processing will be available through X/PTR. Printed reports will be distributed on the next business day. DSS files will be updated and available on Wednesday.

06/25/09 1:00pm

Tuesday, June 30th is the last day to request a check run in fiscal year 2009. The PCC payment date should be set to June 29. To process payments for invoices that have a due date of June 30, the NEXT PAY DATE field on the PCC screen should be set to a date later than June 30.

Check payments processed during Tuesday's production cycle can be printed on Wednesday, July 1 and issued after the cash requisitions are approved by Cash Management. NCAS unfinished BC journal vouchers will also be created to record the requisitions, but cannot be posted to NCAS prior to Thursday's production cycle.

All BC documents ended on June 30 with a June effective date should NOT be keyed with a Closed Period Adjustment (CPA indicator) of '1'. The 12th period (June 1 - June 29) is still open and all BC transactions will process correctly without a CPA indicator change. Any documents keyed June 30 but not ended by 7:00 pm will need a CPA indicator of '1' to post correctly after Tuesday’s production cycle.

Additionally, any transactions that attempt to post on June 30 with a June 30 effective date will have the effective date programmatically changed to June 29.

On the BC documents that were created with the 3/31 dates, correct them by “ending” the documents as they are. They will go to SBM since they were not flagged for the prior period. Once in SBM you will need to change the date to April on the header. All payroll transactions for the biweekly payroll scheduled for 4/3 should be recorded in April.

Reversal of Payroll Interface Entries
The Biweekly payrolls that hit NCAS today, 4/1/2009, were effective dated 3/31/2009. The CMCS requisitions were all set back to March and the corresponding NCAS JV entries were dated in March as well.

All NCAS payroll interface entries will be reversed by OSC from March and posted to April tonight.

If your agency has NOT submitted your requisitions for this payroll, then change the month 3 to a 4 prior to submitting. The requisitions that have already been submitted will be changed by OSC.

Before ‘ending’ the NCAS JV entries change the date to April. If the JV entries have already been ended, the agency will need to reverse the original entry and post a new JV to an April date.

Questions can be directed to Rick Pieringer 431-6678 or Kathy Lagana 431-6564.
