For employees who track or manage department budgets, please note that the month of August 2015 is now closed in CFS.
This means that the General Ledger (GL) system will not accept any more entries with a August journal date. August transactions can still be entered into the GL system, but the journal date must be 9/1/2015 or later. The current period open is September 2015.
The FDW-P2 environment is now available for current Data Warehouse users to use and explore. Log into the CFS Data Warehouse from MySJSU and there on the CSYou page are two data warehouse buttons under the Quick Links section. The FDW-P2 button is located immediately below the “original” CFS Data Warehouse button.
Both data warehouses will be refreshed nightly through December 2015, however the FDW-P2 data is not guaranteed to be completely refreshed until 1:00 p.m. the following day. Therefore, before 1:00 p.m. each day, the data may be two days old. After 1:00 p.m., the data will be current as of 2:00 a.m. in the morning of that same day. At the end of December, legacy Data Warehouse will be deactivated.
In preparation for FDW-P2, the CSU has posted reference guides for FDW-P2 which can be found on their website- https://csyou.calstate.edu/Divisions-Orgs/bus-fin/it/BI-DW/CFSDW/Pages/FDW-P2-Data-Warehouse-TRAIN.aspx .
In addition, Finance has scheduled several Overview of Data Warehouse P2 (Course Number: FIN013) sessions for current Data Warehouse users. If you are a brand new user to Data Warehouse who needs access to the system, then enroll in the Introduction to Data Warehouse (Course Number: FIN008) instead.
Log into MYSJSU, to enroll yourself in FIN013 or FIN008. In MySJSU navigate to: Self Service > Learning and Development > Enroll in Training Classes.
