General Information on Rolling

Run final fund nesting report (after balancing Sirsi and Banner) from current fiscal year before rolling to new fiscal year

In Sirsi, there are reports for rolling:

  • .Fund cycles
  • Vendor cycles
  • Orders
    • Firm orders (Basic Orders)
    • Standing orders (Recurring orders)
    • Subscriptions (Dated Orders)
  •  Funds and vendors must be rolled before orders.

Funds

  • Determine if any current fiscal year funds should not be rolled to new fiscal year and after the fund is rolled, delete it from the new fiscal year cycle
  • After rolling FY2015 to FY2016,
    • project to rename funds to include subject area spelled out instead of fund ID
    • project to add new account codes to fund level 6
  • Use Count Fund Cycles report to count number of current fiscal year funds so this can be compared to the number of new funds created
  • Run Rollover Fund Cycles report
  • Run Fund Count report again to see if same number of funds rolled as counted before the roll

 

Vendors

  • Use Count Vendor Cycles report to count number of current fiscal year paid vendors so this can be compared to the number of new vendors created
  • Run Rollover Vendor Cycles report
  • Run Vendor Count report again to see if same number of vendor rolled as counted before the roll

Orders

  • Firm orders - determine if there are any orders that need to be rolled (For FY15 there aren't any)
  • Standing orders-  rolling only the template orderline (First do count of orderlines not canceled)
  • Subscriptions - only roll orderlines that are not canceled (the canceled orders will have either a date in the Date Loaded field or a Cancelation segment)

FY15 rolling to FY16

Funds - counted those that had at least one copy ordered - 233; 233 rolled

Vendors - counted 168 paid vendors and 168 rolled

Orders

SO 398 counted; 403 rolled

  • I went back and checked the log of the rollover report and found that 406 orderlines were supposed to roll but 3 did not have either a vendor cycle or fund cycle.  I am giving these to Trina to look at and add if needed. 9/8/15 TLO
  • I also discovered that canceled standing orders rolled.  I ran a List Funded Orderlines report of FY2016 orders that have number of copies funded equal to zero and found 53 orders.  I gave the list to Trina to have Dawn delete those orders.  I also modified the template for the recurring order rollover so that hopefully it will work correctly next year - see the "Rollover Recurring Orders FY15 to FY16" template --Teri is the owner of the template. 9/10/15

Subscriptions - 1768 counted, 1712 created

  • Trying to figure out why number of subs counted is 56 more than number rolled
  • Rollover report specified renewal date of "beginning of system to date of the report (9/4/15)" which was not specified in the count
  • I re-ran the count report trying to recreate the renewal date criteria - had to use from beginning of system to 3 days before the report run date because report run date is 9/8/15 (maybe should have said 4 days before report run date).  The result of the report is 1714 which is only 2 more than the number that rolled.
  • I think I should have used "ANY" as the Renewal Date in both reports.  There may be some orders with renewal dates after 9/4/15 that still need to be rolled--running another report with that criteria to see how many there are--54 counted.  Now running orderline report to see what these titles are--report gave me 54 orders. Some of the titles have correct renewal dates but some are incorrect. For example: Sage Premier All Access has a renewal date of 2/2016 when it should be 1/1/2015 according to the vendor invoice.  In order to get these to roll as a batch, need to leave the renewal dates as they are, roll them, then correct the renewal dates for FY15 and FY16 orders for those that need to be corrected.
    • I rolled the remaining subscriptions with renewal dates after 9/4/15. 52 were created and 2 failed (S-RAS-10081 AND S-RAS-10133)--those 2 needed to have their vendors set up with 2016 cycles so I added those cycles manually and duplicated the 2 orders to create 2016 orders
  • I went back and looked at the report log for the 1712 orderlines that were created and found 2 failed transactions because vendor cycles did not exist for 2016 for those as well: S-RAS-10182 and S-RAS-10058.  I created the vendor cycles and duplicated the orders for these.
  • I created the subscription rollover and count report templates for FY16 to use ANY as the renewal date and made output not XML because I am not very comfortable working with XML output for these reports
