Reminder: Month-end Report Schedule (05/29/2002)
Please review the previous News Flash entry and remember these changes will be implemented this coming weekend effective
June 3, 2002.

A report has been placed in X/PTR showing the address lines that will be changed. The first column shows the
current address, the second column shows what it will look like after the change. The location is:

OSCOPC CC200-LINE CHANGES (CICSSCCP)
OSCOPF CC200-LINE CHANGES (CICSNC23)

Please have someone review the report for your pay entities and let me the OSC if any problems are noticed.

Be sure that all AP personnel entering vendors are aware of this change so that they will enter all new vendors,
especially 1099 applicable vendors, with this change in mind.

Change to Month-end Report Schedule (05/23/2002)
After evaluating the utilization of the monthly trial balance reports, the OSC has concluded that it is no
longer cost effective to run these reports as part of the MOPRE and MOCUR job series for the P and
NC23 region agencies. Since university reports are not generated except when information is
interfaced to the NCAS, the OSCOPU (university) report schedules for those entities will remain
unchanged. Beginning Monday, June 3, the following trial balance reports will no longer be available
through Systemware (X/PTR):

OSCOP* MOPRE-7 BUDGET FUND TB
OSCOP* MOPRE-7 COMPANY FUND TB
OSCOP* MOPRE-7 GASB FUND TB
OSCOP* MOCUR-7 COMPANY FUND TB
OSCOP* MOCUR-7 GASB FUND TB
OSCOP* MOCUR-7 BUDGET FUND TB

Due to this report change, month-end reconciliation steps utilizing the trial balance reports will no
longer be required. Users can run any of the trial balance reports from NCAS Information Expert (IE)
GLPUBLIC library as needed. Contact the OSC Helpdesk if you need assistance running an IE
report.

Additionally, the OSC is restoring the original Box Totals report format to the MOPRE-7 BOX
TOTALS and MOCUR-7 BOX TOTALS report series. The original report format displays beginning
and ending balances for all account types.

Requisition and Transfer Worksheets Submissions (05/10/2002)

NCAS Nightly Processing (05/03/02)
Consistent with the notice from the Director of the Office of State Budget yesterday, the North Carolina Accounting System (NCAS) nightly processing of payments (including both checks and e-payments) will not be executed until revised allotments have been issued by OSBM and posted, including tonight's process. If check cycles have been set, the OSC technical process will override these. If you have any questions pertaining to the Cash Allotment process please direct these to Cash Management. For any other questions, please contact the OSC Helpdesk at (919) 875-HELP (4357). Thanks for your cooperation.
