Due to the CAPS to CPATH migration that will go live on July 15, the form submittal requirements and CAPS blackout period for this year have been adjusted to allow for timely form approval and to ensure a smooth transition between the two service platforms.
Please note the following:
- PP initiate will be disabled in Capital Planning at Harvard (CPATH) EOD on Friday, May 17, 2024. Therefore, PPs needing approval by June 30th need to be submitted to CADM before that deadline.
- CAs must also be submitted by EOD on Friday, May 17, 2024. Any CA submitted to CADM after this date will be returned to Tub for CA funding request cancellation. If a CA is needed before May 17th, plan new PPs accordingly (suggestion to get PPs submitted in April). This includes Soft Closes as these are initiated by a revised CA.
- All Construction Close Request (CCR) forms completed by EOD Thursday, June 13, 2024, will be processed, and CIP activities will be disabled for FY24. Only approved forms will be migrated. The CAPS Preparer role will be disabled on Friday, June 14, 2024, preventing the ability to create new forms.
- The CAPS blackout period will begin on Friday, June 14th; all CAPS workflow will be suspended during this period. CAPS Preparer Roles will be disabled, preventing the ability to create new forms (NOTE: this is different than prior years when tubs could prepare the forms and submit them to CADM to have the form available to CADM when the blackout period ended).
- The CAPS to CPATH migration will go live in CPATH on Monday, July 15, 2024. As of July 15th, the PP/CA/CCR forms will no longer be available in CAPS and can only be accessed from CPATH.
There can be NO forms in workflow during the migration period from June 30 – July 14. Any forms that may be lingering will be returned with the request to cancel the form funding request. The tub will be able to resubmit the funding request in CPATH upon transition completion on July 15.
