ADAPT Bulletin 7/27/01
Announcement from HMS Finance Office:

1. Bug Alert: Saving a Journal in the General Ledger
While trying to save a journal, you may get messages warning you that debits do not equal credits or that there is a control total violation. In the past, you could select "No" to discontinue saving the journal and make changes to it. Right now, if you discontinue saving your journal, the journal can no longer be saved. To avoid this from happening to you, continue saving at a Decision screen and reopen your journal to make any changes.

What happens if you click NO? When you try to save your journal again, you will receive the following Error screen:

ERROR: APP-01206. This record already exists. You entered a duplicate
value or sequence of values that must be unique for every record. OK.

At this point, you should call the UIS Helpdesk at 617-496-2001 for help saving your journal. A HelpDesk analyst or General Ledger "Tier 2" support staff member will call you back.

We are currently working with Oracle to find a resolution. Until a fix can be put into place, please remember to save your journal if you get one of these messages.

 

2. Harvard Travel Center Fee Increase
Unfortunately, due to increased energy costs and continued reductions in airline commissions to travel agents, periodic fee increases are unavoidable. Please be advised that as of July 9, 2001 the Harvard Travel Center service fee will increase from $20.00 to $27.00 for all non-shuttle tickets issued.

The ticket fee for all Delta Shuttle tickets will remain at $40.00 but will be "fee-free" if purchased through the Delta SkyCard program. Information regarding enrollment in the SkyCard program is available at the Harvard University Travel web site.
