Below is a summary of the “CoHnect with Us” Tuesday Talk for 9/23/25. For those of you
who can access the County Intranet, you can find all recordings of the “CoHnect with Us”
Tuesday Talk, including this past Talk, on the Accounts page under Finance.
1. Reports Update:
a. Testing is occurring. Much work remains to be done for most reports.
b. As reports are used, please report any issues to
cohnect_support@hawaiicounty.gov and identify which issue you are
experiencing as it relates to:
i. Access: Cannot access the report or the appropriate data within a
report.
ii. Accuracy: Concern that information is not accurate.
iii. Usefulness: Need a better report than what we are using it for.
1. Data collected and presented within a report is unnecessary.
2. Do not have a use for a report you have access to.
c. Reporting in CoHnect is different from FRESH and requires a change of mind
regarding how you need the report to work to help you complete your work in
CoHnect.
d. Report access is determined by the appropriate roles, which include SVS
(Segment Value Security). Access and functionality questions pending
answers to questions posed to CherryRoad. The answers will drive the
method taken for providing solutions. Solutions may include:
i. Provide more access so people can do their jobs
ii. Someone else may generate the report for you to do your jobs
iii. Option of reducing the reporting scope so information in a particular
report focuses on only what is needed, rather than being an all-
encompassing report.
e. Currently the reports are set and most likely will require Day-2 Oracle
support to customize them.
2. Accounts Payable:
a. A second check run is occurring on Tuesdays, for now, in an effort to respond
timely to all vendors. It’s in a testing phase and may move to another day if
need be.
b. Invoices are still due every Tuesday, with Thursday as the standard day
checks are cut.
c. Keep submitting invoices on a timely manner.
3. Payroll:
a. Testers, please update the “Test tracker.”
b. Phase 2 of testing with HR is happening today, 9/23/25.
