File Uploads in SMU Financials v8.9

---

NOTE: These instructions do not apply to Payroll, Student Financials or Advancement uploads.

The file upload page in SMU Financials v8.9 has changed slightly.  The basic premise of the page remains the same  - you select (or 'attach') a file to upload, and then run the process.  However, please make sure you have these same settings as displayed below, with certain exceptions:

Run Control ID will vary based on the ID you created and selected.

Character Set should be ISO_8859-1.

Validate ChartFields should be Account, Alternate Account.

Journal ID Mask will vary by user.  Any values in this field appear at the beginning of all uploaded Journal IDs.

Click Add to go to the page to select ("attach") the file for upload.  This page is identical to the older 8.4 version.

After selecting your file and clicking Upload, you are brought back to the first page.  The file selected for upload is now displayed next to Attached File:

Select Run to go to the Process Request page.  Select the same process that you ran in the older version 8.4 (for the majority it is Flat File Journal Import) and click OK to begin the upload.

 

Please call Vinh Pham x2895 or Jennifer Li x4226 with any questions.
