3 What you’re about to see…

4 What is a “Bolt-On” Enhancement to Banner that has no impact on baseline (well, minimal impact…) Can be “bolted on” to future releases easily. Rule-driven (GTVSDAX) Mods required only if baseline table changes.

5 Finance Transaction Summary – Beyond Summarized Posting VCCCD used baseline summarized posting since going live in 1998: Summarizes selected G/L accounts by posting run Hard to determine out-of-balances Needed local mod to avoid creating OOB’s (document time stamp, collector table) Because of short posting interval, summary was only effective for large feeds

6 Finance Transaction Summary – Beyond Summarized Posting Local Summarization Process Baseline summarized posting turned off Summarizes the same as baseline, but for the entire month Process will not run if: –Already run for the fiscal year/period –Chart, Cash, or Funds are OOB (FGRCTRL, FGRCASH, FGRTBEX logic) –Period is not Closed

7 Finance Transaction Summary – Beyond Summarized Posting Local Summarization Process (continued) Detail transactions are deleted Saves original transactions for one period Creates Summary document TSUMyypp in FGBTRNH, FGBTRND Updates/replaces sum_post_doc_code in FGBTRNH, FGBTRND Produces control report with hash totals Uses FTMSDAT to define accounts

11 Web-based Cashiering Purpose: Original idea was to replace separate card-swipers, emulate Student payment After original demo, SBO’s suggested adding optional fees Evolved into almost total replacement for TSAAREV

40 JV Upload via Microsoft Access Loads third-party transactions from external systems to journal voucher documents in Banner Transactions are extracted in a comma- delimited flat file (.csv) CSV file is uploaded by Microsoft Access via an ODBC connection to a locally-defined table, and are processed into the GURFEED table with a sql*plus script Processed by FURFEED and FGRTRNI

41 CSV Layout

42 CSV File Conditions Doc Code should be 6 characters or less, and can be blank. If entered, will be prefixed with Z1. If blank, will use "J" sequence number Doc Ref should be 8 characters or less, and can be blank Amount can be signed, include 2 decimal places, no commas Debit or Credit Indicator - D or C Description – max 35 characters Account Index - can be blank

43 CSV File Conditions (continued) Fund - can be blank. Can default either from Account Index or Org Org - can be blank. Can default either from Account Index or Fund Acct - can be blank. Can default from Account Index Prog - can be blank. Can default from Account Index, Fund if non-blank, or Org if non-blank Actv - can be blank Locn - can be blank Baseline or local rule class

44 MS Access Macro 1… Loads the CSV transactions using a macro, which: Clears a local MS Access table (IFTR) Imports the transactions from the.csv file into the MS Access table IFTR Displays the following summary report of the transactions loaded. This should be checked against the control report from the file extract on the external system before continuing.

46 MS Access Macro 2… Loads the MS Access local table to a Banner table Requires sql*plus on the PC Appends the transactions to the Oracle table FZRIFTR. Creates GURFEED rows from any interfaced transactions that have been loaded in Step 1. The system ID that is used for the feed is IFTR in FTMSDAT.

47 Run the Banner processes… FURFEED FGRTRNI FGRTRNR AND YOU’RE DONE!
