Internally within Finance this will change the way budgets are loaded and allocated.<\/p>\n<p>The previous Balance Table (VUOK_COM) will no longer be available. This has been replaced by UOK_BAL (see below). This view will be loaded with budgeting data from periods 201301 and ongoing budgeting figures will only update UOK_BAL. The UOK_BAL table will be populated with 2018 transactions at an agreed point in August 2019 when the switch to the Planner module takes place.\u00a0 From them on all budget data will be viewable in UOK_BAL in the current version of Agresso and going forward into the upgraded version of UBW.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any personal balance table views linked to VUOK_COM\u00a0 you will need to change them to UOK_BAL. We will email all\u00a0 users affected\u00a0 with guidance notes to help with the update.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current Balance Table:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/2019\/06\/28\/agresso-upgrade\/current-balance-table\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1656\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1656\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/files\/2019\/06\/Current-Balance-Table.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/files\/2019\/06\/Current-Balance-Table.jpg 602w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/files\/2019\/06\/Current-Balance-Table-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>New Balance Table:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/2019\/06\/28\/agresso-upgrade\/new-balance-table\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1657\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1657\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/files\/2019\/06\/New-Balance-Table.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"602\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/files\/2019\/06\/New-Balance-Table.jpg 602w, https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/files\/2019\/06\/New-Balance-Table-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agresso Upgrade \u2013 Scheduled for November 2019 In November the Finance Systems Team will be upgrading Agresso.\u00a0 This is necessary to ensure compatibility with future &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/2019\/06\/28\/agresso-upgrade\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55180,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[137333],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1651"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1651"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1670,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1651\/revisions\/1670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/finance-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
