Overview
This article details the steps to review Unprocessed Cost Transfer Transactions that are either in Pending or Exception Status. Cost Transfers that are in Exception Status have an Oracle control preventing the Cost Transfer from being processed.
Essential Information
- For Cost Transfers in Exception Status, the Initiator will need to correct the error and Resubmit or Cancel the Cost Transfer.
- Oracle doesn't generate notifications for Unprocessed Cost Transfers.
- You must review the Unprocessed Transactions list in Oracle.
- If the transaction is cancelled, the Cost Transfer will not be reflected in OFC.
- Potential Reasons for Unprocessed Transaction are:
- Date issue: Cost is not within the Project, Award, or Budget Dates.
- Project transaction controls.
- Cost is unallowable for that Project type.
- Exception: transactions that did not go through.
- Pending: transactions that are waiting approval.
Next Steps
1. Log into Oracle, using Single Sign-on.
2. Select Projects and Awards > Costs
3. In the Overview page, expand Transaction Processing Status, select the Adjustments tab.
4. Under Adjustments, there are two tabs for Exceptions and Pending transactions, review both:
a. If you don’t see the expanded menu with details to click on, please do this workaround:
1. First click on one of the other tabs (borrowed and lent OR burdening) and then click back to adjustments and it loads correctly with the details as described. This seems to "refresh" the page so that you can see the details. We are currently working with Oracle on resolving this bug.
