Manually Start Data Refresh Process

You can use the Manually Launch Data Refresh Process screen to start the data refresh process manually instead of waiting for the nightly scheduled refresh.

You must launch a manual refresh each month and at the beginning of each FY before you go to the General Ledger in GCS and process the Print GL/Close Accounting Period File. This file is used for a monthly close as well as a Fiscal Year close. The manual refreshes will ensure that your data is updated properly in GCS Premier© Budgeting & Planning.

To start the data refresh process manually, complete the following steps:

  1. From the Reports & Actions menu, click Manually Start Data Refresh Process.

The Manually Start Data Refresh Process screen displays.

Doing the refresh during normal working hours will cause reports to display no or incomplete data, so warn your users ahead of time should you decide to do this.

  1. Click Submit to start the process.

  2. Click Close to close this screen.
