Additionally, during the outage, in GMAS:

  • No new sponsored/GMAS accounts can be set up during the outage (segment revisions can be completed, but any new/modified accounts will not be processed in the GL until 4/24/2023
  • Sponsored budgets will not be processed in the GL until 4/24/2023
  • Interim financial deliverables with “deliverable period end dates” of 03/31/2023 or prior will be processed normally
  • Final financial deliverables can be processed if journal adjustments have been documented and a final figure has been identified
  • For sponsored payments, receipts can be created and receivables can be updated, however payments will not post to the GL until after the outage is complete
  • No letter of credit (LOC) draws will occur during the outage, but draws will resume their normal schedule after the outage is complete
