Computer Workstations – Potential Hazards Lighting – Bright lights can make it difficult to see the screen. Glare – Reflected light and dust on the monitor can make screen difficult to see, increasing fatigue and eye strain. Ventilation – Dry air. Poor circulation, and extreme temperatures can affect work performance. Prolonged Periods of Activity – Highly repetitive tasks can cause musculoskeletal strain (i.e., carpal tunnel syndrome in wrists); stretch and take breaks when necessary to rest the body part (s) being used for long periods of time.

Monthly Calendar Conversion Project Accounts Payable – SAP Logic September 2017
UFS Accounts Payable – New SAP Monthly Calendar Logic AP Invoices will post to SAP using Saturday – Friday financial cut off week via the following methods: Electronic Invoice approval date = SAP posting date An electronic invoice approved Saturday – Friday will post to that Friday w/e date in SAP Example: Invoices approved 9/9 – 9/15 will post to w/e 9/15 UFS impact - (unchanged) loads to UFS according to SAP week: Posted report for future week if UFS is in previous week. If UFS is in future week invoice will post to UIPS Not Posted report. Manual UFS transmission date = SAP posting date Transmission up to 4:00 pm, ET. If transmitted after 4:00 the invoice will post to SAP the following day Example: Invoices transmitted at 5:00 pm ET on Friday 9/15 will reflect on UFS reports for 9/15 but will post to 9/22 in SAP and E=Vision reports. UFS impact – (unchanged) loads to UFS when entered UFS w/e date: Posts to UIPS report: Matches SAP week (Sat–Fri) UIPS Posted = current week Previous week is still open UIPS Posted = future week UFS w/e date = future week UIPS Not Posted report
