Announcements
On Thursday, May 28, 2009 Financial Services will begin upgrading the Lawson Financial System (Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Human Resources, Payroll and General Ledger). The upgrade will take place between 6:00 pm Thursday, May 28, 2009 though 8:00 am Monday, June 1, 2009. During this period of time, Lawson and WebFocus Financial Reports systems will be unavailable for use. Financial Services requests all departmental users logoff Lawson (LID & NED), and WebFocus Financial Reports systems by 5:00 pm May 28, 2009.
Although the upgrade will cause a temporary inconvenience, the upgrade will enable the University to utilize new features in Lawson and implement additional enhancements to fully maximize Lawson reporting and analysis capabilities. The new Lawson application will be a web-based portal application. Users will be able to log into Lawson Portal and Add-ins using their network ID & password.
Training is recommended for users who currently use NED/LID or those who are responsible for multiple accounting units or departments. It is not recommended for users that are only responsible for a few accounting units. The primary source of their information will continue to come from the WebFocus Financial Reports. If you currently do not have access to WebFocus, please contact Financial Systems.
