I was in a ward on 24OCT when CUBS was turned on. I saw what a mess it created, with no real instructions from SLC. I spent many hours on the phone and reading LDSTech Forum articles to understand how to "correct" CUBS issues. I had to burn some of my vaction time so I was honest with my employer. T...

I have seen several cases where someone paying expenses without reimbursement caused a lot of damage when s/he is replaced. Suddenly the program has to live within the budget, and people blame the new person for the program reductions. I have told many people it is better to know the actual expense ...

I installed MLS 3.2.1 (NOT 3.2.3) and restored from the 17OCT backups using the multiple units feature in System Options. As long as the system stays at 17OCT (like the movie Groundhog Day), I can generat...

CUBS - lessons learned and critique - part B 1. As far as I can determine, here is how the numbers came to be : a. Budget Any MLS budget categories with any income entries since 31DEC2006 were renamed to Budget:Budget Allocations:<subcategory>. These are temporary categories to zero out during CUBS...

According to LUS, MLS submits a request to CUBS listing the swept accounts amounts. After CUBS processes the request, CUBS sends a reply back to MLS to zero out the accounts. When a transmission occurs after the CUBS reply is queued, the MLS accounts will again be back to zero. There will now be a d...
