INFORMATION
 The Chief Financial Officer can Table a resolution for 30
days. If during that 30 day window action is needed,
the resolution can be processed. Most tabled
resolutions are Board resolutions.
 The Resolution Number is programmatically assigned
after the approval process.
 The Tracking Number is assigned as the resolution is
routed through the approval process.
 Funds are pre-encumbered as the resolution is created
and the account number is validated. This ensures that
the dollars are available for the creation of the purchase
order.
Prepared by CMSD Office of the
Chief Financial Officer September, 2009
40
INFORMATION (Cont’d.)
 An encumbered resolution must contain a legitimate
budget number, an active vendor number and a dollar
amount. These resolutions will turn into purchase
orders in FMS.
 An authorizing resolution does not need a budget,
vendor number or amount. These resolutions will not
flow into FMS, but will be available for look-up in
OnBase.
 Each user will only have access to the account
numbers that they are responsible for – the same
accounts to which FMS allows them access.
Prepared by CMSD Office of the
Chief Financial Officer September, 2009
41
INFORMATION (Cont’d.)
 Scanning attachments – The ability to scan backup
material for each resolution is available. This will allow
each reviewer to see additional information available
regarding this resolution.
 In the interim, all backup material should be forwarded
to the CFO’s office for scanning and linking to the
resolution. The tracking number must accompany the
documents for proper integration.
 OnBase reads FMS files and validates user access,
valid budget numbers and vendor numbers.
