New Functionality Added to FTS Requisition

A new functionality has been added to FTS Requisition.

Users will see the Calculate button display in the requisition. Clicking this button will automatically add the total of the Extended Amount of the requisition lines. Previously, the grand total was not visible until the requisition was submitted for approval, which made it challenging to validate correctness of the entries, especially when there were many lines in the requisition. With this new functionality, requesters can check the requisition total anytime as they complete their request.

If the Calculate button does not display in Google Chrome , then try one of the following to reload page:

  1. Hold down Ctrl and click the Reload button.
  2. Hold down Ctrl and press F5.

For all other web browsers, click the Reload button.

Hospitality Guide and Expense Justification Form Updated

Effective immediately, the campus Hospitality Expense Justification form and Hospitality Guide have been updated, specifically for adding our employee meal limit requirement which follows the CSU Hospitality Policy.

The SJSU Hospitality Guide was reorganized for clarity, purpose and to effectively address hospitality-related purchase questions. Hospitality expenses [e.g., food, light refreshments, promotional items] can be incurred for events and activities that support the university’s mission and goals. View the updated matrix for funding guidance. Please refer to the SJSU Hospitality Guide for detailed information on such expenses.   

A completed Hospitality Expense Justification form must be included as backup documentation for all hospitality-related payment and purchase requests [Requisition, Direct Payment, ProCard, Employee/Student Reimbursement, and Petty Cash]. Hospitality Payment requests cannot be processed without the form.
