Congratulations to the entire Finance functional and University Information Systems technical teams!

To access Self-Service Banner Finance, simply login to Highlander Pipeline (http://my.njit.edu) with your existing UCID and password and then select the Faculty/Staff Services TAB.  The Banner channel appears on the upper left-hand side of the page with access to:

• Finance Self-Service (Production) - For live processing of FY 2010 requisitioning, budget queries, etc.
• Finance Self-Service (Training)  - A practice area for users to continue exercises presented in last month's training classes.

To assist faculty and staff during the launch week,  a ‘Banner Walk-in Assistance Center’ will operate July 7-9.  The Center will be staffed by functional and technical experts between the hours of 9:30 AM to 4 PM to address any individual system issues that may arise as part of the Finance go-live. The Walk-In Assistance Center will be located in GITC 2305. Please come over – help will be there, in person, rather than over the phone.

After the first week, the IST Help Desk at (973) 596-2900 can assist with any UCID and password questions. Colleagues in your area who received initial Self-Service Banner Finance training, as well as key contacts that are noted on the Banner Finance channel can assist in resolving any future Banner Finance questions that may arise.

Please note the following in regard to FY 2010 processing:

FY10 Operating Budgets: Preliminary FY10 operating budgets have been established in Banner.

FY10 Project Budgets: Project budgets will be established in August. In the meantime, PI’s can reference FRS for available budgets and will have full access to enter purchase requisitions into Banner.

Prior year purchase orders – Unrestricted Operating accounts: The move to Banner Finance required that any purchase orders remaining in FRS be manually re-entered into Banner. Thus, a detailed review of purchase orders occurred and the logic of re-creating these orders in Banner was discussed with Sr. Staff. Approved prior year purchase orders have been re-created in Banner and associated temporary budgets will be established shortly. Given State regulatory issues, all prior year purchase orders not used by September 30th will be cancelled, and any temporary budgets removed.

Prior year purchase orders – Restricted Grants and Contracts: PI’s were asked to contact the Grant and Contract Accounting Office for their preferred handling of active purchase orders. Requests submitted to date have been re-created in Banner. The Grant and Contract Accounting Office will continue to work with PI’s during the transition into Banner.

Thank you.
