July 2026 ChargerLink Spotlight
What is the Change?
Current State = In Banner, UAH has many org and fund combinations that are used to track startup, discretionary, or internal project funds
Future State = In Oracle, there will be one Institutional Support Funds (ISF) project to spend from
Why is this a Win?
Within Oracle, "fund" will be used to track pots of money, and "org" will be used more consistently
Secondary segments will be tracked at the project level
Dedicated reporting will be available for ISF awards and projects
Who is Impacted?
Campus-wide impacts: Startup (Academic Affairs), Discretionary (PIs, Researchers), Internal Research (OVPRED)
HR Benefits
Timesheets - Exempt employees (non-research) will no longer submit timecards, only absence requests, reducing administrative efforts. Non-exempt/hourly employees will still submit timecards, but will receive notifications for approvals or rejections, eliminating manual follow-up.
FIN Benefits
Expense Reports: Expense Report Auditing will include rules such as flagging missing receipts, specific expenses, dollar amounts, etc.
Vendor/Supplier: Suppliers will be able to register themselves and manage their own records. This will save considerable time for the UAH Procurement team and any faculty/staff that interact with vendors.
Cash Management: Bank statement lines will directly integrate into Oracle Cloud Cash Management. This will enable real-time reconciliation, cash clearing accounting for subledgers, and a greater confidence in the accuracy of our cash balance. The Accounting and Financial Reporting team, as well as the Bursar and Financial Aid offices will realize the most benefit from this change.
