Release 1.4 (available February 12, 2026) introduces several major new functional areas to FAMISweb, including Departmental Correction Requests (DCRs), Payroll Cost Transfers (PCTs / ECTs) and expanded ACH processing pages. These new pages replicate existing Canopy functionality while improving usability, search and routing. The release also includes targeted enhancements across accounting, payroll, search and page design, along with some small fixes.
New Pages and Major Features
Departmental Correction Requests (DCR)
A Departmental Correction Request (DCR) is a request initiated at the department level to correct and electronically route a voucher‑ or transaction‑related accounting event that has previously posted, subject to embedded business rules. These new pages replicate the current functionality in Canopy.
- DCR Search
- Enables users (with appropriate entitlements) to search all DCR documents
- Supports advanced filtering options
- DCR Create
- Allows users (with appropriate entitlements) to create a new DCR document
- DCR Document
- Enables users (with appropriate entitlements) to view and manage a DCR document
- DCR Routing Document
- Allows users (with appropriate entitlements) to manage routing for a DCR document
Payroll Cost Transfers (PCT / ECT)
A PCT, sometimes referred to as an ECT, is a request to move payroll expenses from one source to another after payroll has posted. These new pages replicate the current functionality in Canopy.
- PCT Search
- Enables users to search all PCT documents
- Supports advanced filtering options
- PCT Create
- Allows users (with appropriate entitlements) to create a new PCT document

NOTE: After launching FAMISweb version 1.4, we discovered that the Maestro salary compliance check was missing from the new PCT pages. This will be corrected in FAMISweb version 1.5, scheduled for release on March 10, 2026. If this feature is important to you, the current workaround is to create PCTs in Canopy. You can continue to use FAMISweb for PCT approvals, even for those PCTs created in Canopy.

- For records open for processing, users may approve, unapprove, or reject records, depending on batch status
- ACH Bank Trace

- Enables users (with appropriate entitlements) to perform bank trace searches across campuses
