The processes that were necessary to close the fiscal year have been completed. The feed to Finance took longer than expected to run, however it appears to have run without errors. The Business Affairs office will need to validate the financial data before we can mark this issue as resolved with 100% confidence. However, current indicators are that all is working correctly in the Banner Finance and Accounts Receivable modules. Users using those modules should now be able to complete their routine tasks in Banner without incident. Once again, we thank you for your patience during this time.

Issues may still be persisting with Banner Finance and Accounts Receivable, however maintenance will occur tonight after business hours that should rectify all outstanding issues and complete the closing of the fiscal year. A further update will be posted later tonight to indicate the state of the Banner systems. Thank you for your patience.

The closing of the fiscal year in Banner begin on Friday July 1st but technical issues were encountered that prevented the entire process from completing successfully. Work is on-going to resolve the issues and complete the closing process. Users should be aware that Banner Finance and Accounts Receivables functionality may be unavailable while these issues are on-going. Users are advised to refrain from using Banner functionality in those areas until these issues have been resolved. Further updates will be posted as new information becomes available.
