RIT utilizes the Oracle Financial applications for its purchasing, accounts payable, general ledger, and fixed asset activities. Employees may obtain access to the financial applications to enter purchasing requisitions and journal entries, view accounts payable and other transactions on line and print various reports.
In addition to the Financial applications, RIT utilizes the Oracle Human Resource and Payroll modules, as well as the Manager and Employee Self Service applications.
The Oracle system gives you online access to your home page. Through your home page you can access the following Oracle features and functions:
- The Oracle Financial/Human Resource Applications (Purchasing Requisitions, Journal Entry, General Ledger, Fixed Assets), and Self–Serve responsibilities.
- Your personal payroll information through the RIT Employee Self–Serve responsibility.
- Your general preferences, (Password, Known As, E-Mail Notification options), Worklist, and Notification Rules through the RIT Workflow user responsibility.
Through the web at http://www.rit.edu/myinfo. This URL will take you to Oracle's log in screen, where you will type your Oracle username and password.
If you will be accessing the Oracle Financial applications (Purchasing Requisitions, Journal Entry, General Ledger, and Fixed Assets) you first have to install the Jinititator. Click on any of the applications to start the download process. You will only need to download the JInitiator the first time that you access the Oracle Financial applications.
