SAP Upgraded to Support More Browsers and Operating Systems (posted 10/6/10)

During a recent maintenance, EBS applied an update to our SAP systems that now allows them to provide support for the following combinations of operating systems and browsers:

  • Windows XP: Internet Explorer 6, 7, or 8; Firefox 3.0, 3.5
  • Windows Vista: Internet Explorer 7 or 8; Firefox 3.0, 3.5
  • Windows 7: Internet Explorer 8; Firefox 3.0, 3.5
  • Mac OS X 10.2 – 10.5: Firefox 3.0, 3.5
  • Mac OS X 10.6: Firefox 3.5

The operating systems and browsers that were supported prior to this update continue to be supported, so there is no specific or immediate need to upgrade your system at this time.  If you have a need to do so, please contact your LAN administrator for support.  Important information regarding browser configuration settings for use with SAP can be found https://know.isis.jhu.edu/x/aRerAQ.

Update to Purchasing Display role  (posted 4/15/09)

Internet Explorer 8.0--read before you upgrade   (posted 4/14/09)
SAP supports Internet Explorer 6.0 and 7.0, but does not support Internet Explorer 8.0. We have heard from several users that they were not able to use SAP after moving to the higher version. We recommend that users remain on the supported versions. Information on what is supported by SAP can be found at http://h1support.jhu.edu/ 

 Office Depot: Copier Paper  (posted 1/14/09)
Up until now, all Health System employees were restricted to purchasing paper through the vender A.J. Stationaries.  However, employees now have the freedom to order paper from Office Depot along with their other office supply purchases.

Shopping Cart: Change to 'Required On' date (posted 10/23/08)
Effective Monday, November 3rd, the 'Required On' default date will change when adding a new line item to a shopping cart.  Currently, the default date is the date of entry.  The system will now default to 5 days following the date of entry.  The Requisitioner will be able to change the date to one earlier or later as required.  Contact the SAP Support Team if you have any questions.

Self-Help  (posted 8/1/08)
The SAP Help Desk is building a Self-Help Database that will allow users to search for common
problems that users call the help desk for and their solutions. This is scheduled to be available
by August 15.  To search the database, please visit the support page of the HopkinsOne website, http://www.jhu.edu/hopkinsone/Support/index.htm 

Adding Roles: AP and Purchasing Display  (posted 8/1/08)
The Johns Hopkins Enterprise is expanding the use of AP Display and Purchasing Display to
more staff. These roles give users the ability to look at additional payment information. The
roles can be added by doing an ISR or ISR Lite. Below is a summary of the two roles:
AP Display (ZRSC_AP_DISPLAY_ALL) — This role, in conjunction with Shopping Cart, Travel Manager
and Online Payment, gives users more detail about payments, such as whether a check
has been cashed, vendor information, and cost center information.
Purchasing Display (ZRSC_AP_PUR_DISP_ALL) — This role gives users more detail about the
Purchase Order, such as Invoice information, and can help users when they are trying to resolve
a Blocked Invoice.
