Good morning CT AR Teams,
Core-CT AR/BI Team will close August 2026 accounting period after the 10:00 AM batch cycle on Friday, September 4th, 2026 (4th business day).
This means agencies have until Thursday, September 3rd, 2026, by 2:00 PM to complete all the following with August accounting date:
1. AR Deposits
Core-CT Navigation: AR > Payments > Online Payments > Regular Deposits
2. Maintenance Worksheets
Core-CT Navigation: AR > Receivables Maintenance > Maintenance Worksheet > Update Worksheet
3. Payment Worksheets
Core-CT Navigation: AR > Payments > Apply Payments > Apply/Update/Finalize Payment Worksheet
We strongly encourage all agencies to complete their closing tasks by 2:00 PM on the 3rd business day, and to use Pending Receipts coding only when absolutely necessary.
On the closing day, Friday September 4th after the 10:00 AM batch run, the OSC Budget & Financial Analysis Division (OSC BFA) will apply Pending Receipts coding to any outstanding deposits. Agencies must submit the related GL Journal corrections before GL month-end close (typically mid-month).
Important resources for AR deposit–related questions:
1. For GIRO deposits from other agencies, please contact the originating agency.
2. For GIRO deposits with Location OSCIP, contact your agency’s Accounts Payable unit for supporting documentation (Bi-weekly Payroll Recovery Report) and refer to the Location OSCIP Deposits job-aid. For additional information, contact OSC Payroll Division Director Mark Bissoni at mark.bissoni@ct.gov.
3. For deposit coding questions not addressed in the State Accounting Manual, contact the OSC BFA Team at generalaccountingOSC@ct.gov.
4. For GIRO deposits incorrectly assigned to your agency, follow the GIRO Deposit Issues job-aid and contact OTT Cash Management at ott.ar@ct.gov for further assistance. Please avoid waiting until the final day of AR close, as both OTT and the owning agency need time to research and update the deposit.
5. For other issues, please submit a Core-CT Help Desk ticket via HELIX at https://ctgov-dwp.onbmc.com/. Examples include applying payments to AR open items, direct journal payments, $0 deposits, deposits not dropping from the picklist, or last-minute OTT re-codes that require additional processing time.
Please also review your agency’s AR contacts and submit update requests via a HELIX ticket.
Cordially,
Core-CT AR/BI Team
