We have received the following information from Capita regarding FMS 6.124 and schools who are using DCSF Open eprocurement:
FMS 6.124 Autumn Main 2009 release – schools using DCSF OPEN and xchangewales portals
An issue has emerged in FMS 6.124 whereby the name of the “originator” who created the Content Order / Electronic Requisition on the portal is not being displayed in the Purchase Order and is being replaced with “N/A”. The consequence is that schools may not find it very easy to assign the Content Order / Electronic Requisition to the correct Cost Centre / Ledger Code / Fund combinations. Consequently, an updated version of FMS 6.124 is now available from SOLUS where the only change is to display the originator’s name in the Purchase Order screen.
Do you need to upgrade to the updated version of FMS 6.124?
1. For Schools making use of this functionality and that have already upgraded to FMS 6.124, an updated version of FMS 6.124 is available from SOLUS. Please refer to information notice 09-E45 for instructions on upgrading FMS using Solus.
2. Schools who are not making use of this functionality and have already upgraded to FMS 6.124 do not need to take the updated version of FMS 6.124 but if SOLUS is run, they will pick up this updated version of FMS.
3. Schools who are yet to upgrade to FMS 6.124 will automatically receive the updated version when they run SOLUS. Please refer to information notice 09-E45 for instructions on upgrading FMS using Solus.
