University staff fall back on Excel to work around mis-coded transactions in Oracle system

The fallout from Edinburgh University's ill-fated Oracle HR and finance implementation continues with one department recording thousands of mis-coded transactions relating to more than £300,000 in spending.

In December, an independent report from PA Consulting showed how before the implementation, senior managers missed warning signs that the project was not ready. The, an independent governance body, said problems related to change management aspects of the project that were not given sufficient attention before it went live.

It noted that the School of Biological Sciences was not allocating costs to respective research projects."Currently we have 5,204 transactions totalling £385,558.14 sitting within a general research fund which should be sitting on individual research grants, and this number is rising all the time," the email said.
