What is a "deliver to" location in FMS?
A deliver to location is used in procurement and warehouse (inventory) business processes to indicate where ordered items are delivered within a location, similar to the attention line of an address. The deliver to location is known as a cost center in the current ordering system, MMS.
Does the school have control over naming deliver to locations within the school?
No, deliver to locations are controlled centrally. The FMS team worked with school representatives to identify the most commonly used school deliver to locations. If needed, the Department of Materials Management can add to and change the preloaded locations.

How do I see my account balances and reports in the new system?
FMS comes with a "dashboard" specially designed to support your work needs. The dashboard includes reports, charts, and graphs displaying financial information for your operations. The information is automatically updated for you periodically. The dashboard also contains "live" links to other reports that have been designed to support your operational needs. These reports may present account information or may present transaction information.
How long does FMS stay logged in before automatically logging me out?
After 30 minutes of idle time, FMS will time out and you will need to log in again.
