The expense workflow issue causing reports to not route correctly has been identified and corrected. With the correction comes a long-awaited feature: negative expense reports can now be processed. You no longer have to wait for offsetting charges to process a credit to your p-card.
Emails were sent to Cost Center and Project Managers to announce both the issue and correction (see December 11 email here and December 20 email here).
An Oracle bug was introduced with the November 17th Quarterly Update that has caused all labor costs between 7/1/23 and 12/5/23 to be redistributed multiple times. This is visible in the Wages and Fellow Payments reports in the Finance Dashboard (Payroll Actuals, Gross Pay, and Graduate Student Pay reports). This issue does NOT impact actual pay to employees. The detailed email sent to Cost Center Managers, Project Managers and HCM initiators is viewable on the iO EvolutiOn Communications page.
