Do not try to make up your own work-arounds!This will cause issues in other modules, even though you may think you have solved your problem.
If you cannot get a transaction to work after you have read the Job Aids and the WLA, then call the Helpdesk for more information.
When you call the Helpdesk, be sure that you give them all the information, such as your business unit, your name and phone number, the module that you are having trouble in, the specific Deposit ID, Journal ID, Bill, Item ID or Report that you are having issues with. If you are getting errors, please email the screenshots with the errors to the Helpdesk. Give us the specific steps you went through to receive the error.
HD RemindersHD Reminders
You need to take steps to analyze your error before calling the Helpdesk. Your job aids and WLAs will help you to do this.
If you are having problems with reports not matching, you need to reconcile, to see what transactions are causing the problem.
If you are having problems with Deposits not falling off your screen, you need to check for Payment Worksheets that haven’t been completed, aren’t balanced, haven’t had accounting entries created, or haven’t been set to Batch Standard.
If your reports are not coming out, you need to check your parameters to be sure you are using correct budget references and the correct budget ledgers. Check your process schedule request to be sure you are asking for web and .PDF files. If the request asks for “none,” you will get none.
