Protecting Customer AR Numbers in FAMIS

Credit card numbers are being compromised more and more each day.  As a result, FAMIS has responded to a change enhancement request that Customer A/R numbers be protected from unnecessary display on all FAMIS accounts payable and purchasing screens.

In order to do this, a new element security control has been added to the Customer A/R fields on the A/P Screens 105, 111, 112, 114, 115, 168, and 345. This new element security must be turned on for any individual that needs to see the Customer A/R number on these screens.

The new element security is not necessary to view the Customer A/R number on either Screens 340 and 341, however. In order for a person to see the Customer A/R number on these screens the user must have UPDATE access to the purchasing document. If a person has inquiry only access to either the document or the screen, the Customer A/R number will not be displayed.

You will need to contact your FAMIS Security Officers to request permission to see Customer A/R numbers on the AP and Purchasing screens.

Routing E-Mail Notifications

"Why am I getting notifications of PIP documents in my inbox?" If you are asking the same question, it is because you are on the Create Desk in electronic routing & approvals. If you need to be removed from this desk, contact one of the security officers from your campus.
