The Department of FISCal (FI$Cal) continually makes updates and enhancements to the system based on feedback from our end users. Our goal is to improve usability while maintaining the highest level of security for the state’s data.

FI$Cal released the following enhancements in June (descriptions include ServiceNow case numbers):

Accounts Payable

Request: CS0277972

Request to develop journal voucher spreadsheet upload inbound interface and it should support online origin journal vouchers and FSC origin journal vouchers with PHI functionality.

Enhancement/Solution

Developed journal voucher spreadsheet upload inbound interface and that supports online origin journal vouchers and FSC origin journal vouchers with PHI functionality.

Request: CS0181454

Departments continue to make payments outside of FI$Cal through both electronic and paper claims. Due to the current interface, departments need to reclassify entries from the general ledger to a more detailed level. Additionally, payments made outside of FI$Cal must have the purchase order (PO) manually liquidated. Departments manually liquidate a PO by creating a $0.00 catch-up voucher. This solution would reduce the need for manual processes for claims paid outside the system. The solution will capture claims at a level of detail appropriate for departments.

CR015799 has security objects like PL’s related to legacy claim re-class enhancement.
