Changes to the JET Upload Process

In the past, when entering a JET entry, the Preparer field was not to be changed.  As the JET process continues to evolve, Finance has implemented a change which allows us to import both the logged in user’s Ohio ID (JET Processor) and the JET Preparer fields into E-biz. This enables us to track both the Processor and Preparer of each Journal Entry uploaded via JET.

Effective immediately, when staging a Journal Entry prepared by someone else, please change the Preparer Field’s default value in the JET Headers screen to the name of the Preparer of the Journal Entry.

The OBI Finance dashboards will be changed by the end of the month to show both the Processor and Preparer fields as prompts, and as fields in dashboard queries.

This has been a request from the Accounting & Reporting Partner Group but it is also information that has become necessary to support planning unit and departmental metrics related to JET transactions.
