Implementing Notes from Finance Customer Connection

After attending the News for FICO Friends: ERP for Financials Customer Connection webcast, we took a look at some of the notes and applied them.  As of now, some of the notes look very promising.  See below.

Display FI Document – Seeing more of the Name

Who entered that document?  Perhaps you don’t know all the user names in your system.  That is what is nice about this enhancement.

The above is from the header document.  Double click on “Entered by” “TPOWLAS” and the following appears after implementing the note:

You can see the person’s first name, last name, department and phone.

Opening and Closing Periods

After implementing the notes from the Customer Connect, see below:

Account type V is contract accounts and now the view above is nice to read and such a view should help prevent mistakes in the future.

Increasing Line Counts in CO Line Items

We are still investigating some of the other notes resulting from the Customer Connection – to be continued.  So far the notes have some great appealing features.
