FMS Training Begins in June
Fiscal Management System (FMS) – User Training at MCC
From CFS to FMS – A New System!
As you may know, we are moving to a new financial system. The District is in the final testing cycle and the plan is to go live on Monday, July 6th, which is only 6 weeks away!
Training is Available at MCC for Requisition & Travel Processes
For those who currently use CFS (the College Financial System, our current financial management system) and will use FMS, the District will offer training classes at MCC. All system users are strongly encouraged to attend training either at MCC or another college location as their schedule permits.
Many aspects of the new system will be very similar CFS, but in FMS, all travel authorizations and expense claims will be completed and submitted on-line via the Expense module, including on-line approvals. This means no more routing of paper forms for approvals or questions about the status of approvals. Specific training will be provided for this new feature and all travelers are encouraged to take advantage of the training either at MCC or another college location.
Additional information including Frequently Asked Questions are available at the FMS implementation website and please check back periodically for updates, including the training schedules for all campuses and the District Office.
