Finance Upgrade/Grants v8.9

On January 22, 2007, the University completed the upgrade of the PeopleSoft Finance system to v8.9 and implemented a new Grants Management system.

For more information on the upgrade, review the recent bulletins.

The Finance system consists of the following modules:

  • Purchasing and eProcurement,, which includes requisitions, purchase orders, receiving and Procard reallocation
  • Accounts Payable, in which invoices are processed
  • General Ledger, which includes chartfields and budgeting
  • Asset Management, which keeps track of the University's property

The Grants Management modules handle proposals, awards, and financial management of all grants processed through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs.

The primary users of the Finance system are the Procurement Department, the Controller's Office, the Budget Office, and the Office of Research and Sponsored Projects.

Departmental users and Principal Investigators across the campus may obtain access to the system to:

  • Enter and approve requisitions
  • Inquire on purchase orders
  • View vendor information
  • Reallocate Procard transactions
  • Look up budget balances and transactions
  • Generate, view and print financial reports
  • View and print month-end financial reports
  • Inquire on grant proposals and awards
  • Inquire on grant-related budget data
