Patch 5200606 Impacts FACTS II Beginning Balances Amounts
Wanted to relay a tip I got from Kim Fix (DOI-NBC) on a patch that’s causing some issues with the FACTS II outputs. It seems that patch 5200606 causes a problem in that beginning balances are no longer showing on some of the FACTS II outputs. It looks like this patch modifies FACTS II functionality assuming the new Treating Budgetary balances is being used as Balance Sheet balances instead of the traditional Carry Forward method (see prior post for more detail on this switch). So agencies who haven’t yet switched to the new method should probably double-check the FACTS II outputs as part of the patch testing prior to moving the patch into production. Kim is working w/Oracle Support on a SR for the issue and I’ll try to relay any further updates.
