Confidential, New York City, NY
Responsibilities:
- Developed a brand new Pegasus item interface. Pegasus is an external system where
- Confidential uses Oracle for Purchase orders. PO’s from GHX come into Oracle. Once the PO is created, using the custom Oracle workflow process, depending on the approval path - the PO gets approved or rejected after confirmation from OTPS, their budgeting system. If the PO is rejected for any reason, it is corrected again & once submitted, it again follows the workflow process of approvals. If the approver is not available, it can be sent to the next higher approver authority in the chain. This would reduce the manual process of forwarding the emails to the authorized PO approver etc. Their PO approval process so far is a manual one.
- Implemented the PO auto approval project, wherein certain purchase orders for a particular expense code, threshold limit and PO type, get automatically approved in Oracle using the custom workflow process.
- Also extended the PO auto-approval process to min-max items, wherein PO’s up to a certain dollar limit are automatically approved and don’t wait for the relevant approver to approve it. This in turn reduced a lot of manual hours for the user team, and also ensured the PO delivery much faster to the vendor.
- Designed the finally close process for Small balance PO’s and fiscal year end PO’s. As they use 2 systems Oracle & OTPS, every quarter and during the year end, a bulk of PO’s have to be finally closed first in Oracle and then in OTPS.
- Worked on PeopleSoft HCM 9.0 to 9.2 upgrade project. Developed material using Oracle User Productivity Kit (UPK). The modules upgraded were Portal, ELM, HR, Benefits, and Recruiting & Talent Management. Also provided instructional led classroom to users during SIT & UAT.
Confidential, Teaneck, NJ
Responsibilities:
- Issue downloading budget templates, whereby when a user specifies a company number, the system is giving more than asked for. Also, an issue with the budget template not sorting by company code. Both these issues are known Oracle R12 bugs. Oracle gave a patch, which after applied, resolved both the above.
- Projects show invoice distribution lines with quantity 0, but with non zero burdened cost.
- Before upgrade to R12, having the 10% threshold on PO lines, AP would change amounts on the lines during the matching process. Apparently in R12, due to its structural differences with lines & distributions, it is creating a variance line to accommodate those changes. Whenever the amount on the PO line is adjusted during matching, the system creates a line to explain that difference (only after the invoice has been validated). In R12, for cases like these, PA can use the burden cost instead of the quantity.
- AP and GL allow entry of invoices against expired project and task. Users should get an error message right after entering an invoice line against an expired project. User now gets a warning message during the invoice match process, allowing them to either proceed with expenditure item dates that go Confidential project end dates or stop the matching process.
- Foreign currency transactions for Mexico set of Books. Issue with language transaction on the check - instead of printing Dolores for USD currency, it is printing Pesos MXN. Supplier site, bank & Check run template set Confidential along with a customization fulfilled the enhancement.
- A custom Cash management program replaces the one cash receipt statement line for 2 accounts 6240 and 4436, for the individual cash receipts recorded in Oracle so they can reconcile the cash receipts based on cash receipt number. During the month of Jan-14 the program hasn't been doing what it supposed to do. So, AR users had to reconcile the Oracle activity against the one statement line which is a very time consuming process. Since we need to identify the cash receipts that make up the daily deposit by running Oracle reports and then manually reconciling them in cash management.
- Assisted in the reconciliation of their Fixed Asset Tax books. Client uses BNA (Bureau of National Affairs) for the fixed asset tax books. The assets in Oracle are maintained manually and through an excel spreadsheet into BNA.
- Supported R12 Financials in various modules.
- Worked on R12 Foreign currency check printing with language translation in AP.
