Training videos to help keep you 'in the know'  

Last month, we conducted our annual USAS and USPS overview sessions reviewing various processes in the software.  The recordings are easily accessible on our SSDT YouTube channel. Our overview sessions can be lengthy so we created chapters within each recording, allowing viewers to quickly navigate to a specific section of the video to review a particular process.  Displayed below is our recent Expenditure Process recording with the chapters displayed on the right.  In order to generate the chapter listing, you can click on the '>' key indicated at the arrow below.  It will then display the chapter listings to the right of the recording. 


You may also find the chapter links in the description of each recording.  Just click on the start time to review that portion of the training.

For a user new to the software or new to a specific process within the software, the chapters provide an excellent way to learn a process without getting too overwhelmed.  You can play and pause the recordings as many times as you would like.

TIP: In each SSDT monthly newsletter, the USAS, USPS and Inventory YouTube playlist links are located in the top right section under the ‘Useful Links’ area.

Topic #2Future Requisitions 

Thinking it would be nice to have all your standard requisitions entered now for FY24 so you can plan your vacation?   You can!

Once the future posting period is opened, users can enter future requisitions by using a future date like July 1, 2023.   By default, users may also enter a requisition without an account number.  The account number would need to be entered prior to the approval & conversion to a purchase order.  

Entering future requisitions also works well with the Requisition Approval Workflow in USAS too. For example, the user can create a 7/1/23 requisition for supplies for the next school year and even submit the requisition for approval prior to the 7/1/23 date.  The system will still convert the requisition using the requested date of 7/1/23 after final approval.  The encumbrances on the expenditure accounts would be posted upon conversion in July 2023 (FY24.) 

There Using the Requisition Approval Workflow, there is also a default message available which can be used to reject a requisition that should be dated in the new fiscal year but was entered using a date in April for example.  This default message will be sent to the user that submitted the requisition for approval so that they can edit and resubmit the requisition for approval.  

Don’t forget that requisitions can also have attachments!   For example, the FY23 quote for services, or the office supply order form can be attached and later viewed on the requisition by the approver.
