The Annual inventory process has put pressure on the FAMIS fixed asset module and exposed a performance weakness that is locking the FAMIS fixed asset table and causing some users to have their sessions timeout. The weakness is related to the new technology platform. A change is being deployed tonight that is expected to improved the situation

FAMIS New User Guide

Print

This guide provides an introduction to the Financial Accounting Management Information System (FAMIS) and walks a new user through accessing screens and navigating within the FAMIS environment.

FAMIS is The Texas A&M University System’s financial accounting management system. This software system manages accounting information for members of the A&M System. Currently, FAMIS uses the OpenText HostExplorer 3270 terminal emulation application for access.

OpenText HostExplorer Installation

Although any 3270 emulator program can be used to access FAMIS, OpenText HostExplorer is available at no charge from TAMU-IT and is supported by FAMIS Services. For some A&M System members or agencies, installation and updating of OpenText HostExplorer must be done by their IT departments. Some members or agencies may allow users to install and update the application.

If your A&M System member or agency allows users to install OpenText HostExplorer themselves, please see Installing OpenText HostExplorer to Connect to FAMIS for instructions.

Connection Central and Creating a FAMIS Connection Profile

Connection Central is OpenText HostExplorer’s interface for the connection profile you will need to connect with FAMIS.

Screen shot of Connection Central connection profile icons

To create a FAMIS connection profile in Connection Central, please see Creating a FAMIS Connection Profile.

Logging on to FAMIS

Once a FAMIS connection profile has been created and configured, double-click on the connection profile icon to begin the logon process. You will logon to the Single Sign-On (SSO) system and receive a one-time password (OTP) to gain access to FAMIS.

Please see Logging On to FAMIS for complete logon instructions.

Navigating FAMIS

The first FAMIS screen you will see is the FAMIS Bulletin Board. This screen displays important system information and contact information for FAMIS Services and Help.

The following screens assume you are in the FRS module of FAMIS. FAMIS is navigated using screens that are numbered and menus that begin with a letter. The screen number is always found at the top left. Pressing the Home key on your keyboard will always return your cursor to the screen field. 

The other modules in FAMIS are:

  • AFR – Annual Financial Reporting
  • FFX – Fixed Assets Module
  • GCP – General Construction Projects
  • SPR – Sponsored Research Module

FAMIS is organized by menus, but it is not required to go to a menu before advancing to a screen on that menu. As long as you know the screen number, you can go from screen to screen. Additionally, it is not necessary to enter any leading zeros to advance to a screen.

Depending on your specific security settings, Screen 882 in FAMIS allows you to change the following values:

  • Active Campus – Only available to users that have access to multiple members.  Type in the new campus code and press Enter to change.

  • Active Processing Month – Select users have been granted the ability to change to any active processing month.

If the fiscal year and/or campus code are changed, once the changes have been processed the message “F0031 Fiscal year and/or Campus code have been changed” will show at the top of the screen, and the new values are reflected in the upper right corner of the screen.

Some account attributes displayed in the header area of this screen are:

  • Department
  • Current month
  • Flags: Delete, Freeze, Bottom line Budget Control, Category Control, Freeze Direct Expense and GEB
  • ABR rule
  • Map code

Additionally, the Fiscal Year and Thru Month fields can be changed on this screen without going to Screen 882.

  • Budget – Total Budget posted to the account
  • Actual – Total revenues and expenses posted to the account
  • Encumbrances – Payroll, travel and purchasing encumbrances posted to the account
  • Available – Available budget (budget less actuals less encumbrances)

The values under the Obj column are the budget pools available to the account from the ABR rule and line item budgets. Budget dollars are recorded at these pool levels.

For this account, there is:

  • $36,988,370 in revenue left to be earned
  • $25,703,877 available to be spent (Pool 1005 plus Pool 1000)
  • $21,500,000 held in reserve for future spending (Pool 9465 plus Pool 9473 plus Pool 9477)
  • If the revenue was never earned, there is a budget available of $10,215,507 (total expenses less available revenue budget)

The initial display is in rounded dollars. Pressing the PF11 key will remove the description column and change the display to show two decimals.
