Final calls to close out certain transactions in SAP
End-of-year deadlines earlier because of OneSource implementation
Due to the implementation of OneSource, it is critical to the success of data conversion that HISD departments and schools close out as many transactions as possible prior to the go-live date of July 1, 2016. Thus, end-of-year deadlines are earlier this year. In addition, transactional access to SAP may be restricted to support the project implementation.
The last day for shopping carts to be APPROVED is Friday, May 20, 2016. Any outstanding shopping carts past this deadline will be canceled.
The last day for travel requests to be APPROVED is Friday, May 27, 2016. Any outstanding requests past this date will be canceled.
See below for additional deadlines. All deadlines reflect standard close of business at 5 p.m.
