Basic Design Considerations • Implementation of Penn’s Chart of Accounts • Nomenclature: Scenarios and Versions • Time Periods • Methodology for Pre-populating Forecasts • Detailed Salary Planning
Implementation of Penn’s Chart of Accounts • ORG-Program-CREF • Funds and Groups • RCM Rows
Potential Budget Entry Form 0Budget Expense in General Purpose Funds
Potential Budget Entry Form 0Budget Expense in General Purpose Funds
Potential Budget Entry Form 1 Budget Expense in General Purpose Funds
Potential Budget Entry Form 2Budget Revenue in General Purpose Funds
Potential Budget Entry Form 3Budgeted Revenue and Expense in Designated Funds
Nomenclature and Time Periods • Nomenclature • Scenarios: Budget, Actual, Forecast • Versions: Winter, Spring, Summer • Actuals for current and prior year • Budget for next and 4 future years • ADJ incorporated into June • Separate reporting cube • Ability to report on more prior years and in more detail than we display in Planning
Pre-Populating the Forecast • Keep Original Budget intact for comparative purposes • Start with Original Budget broken down by month • Replace individual months with actuals at month end • Each quarter responsibility centers review and revise forecast based on YTD actuals and expectations • Subsequent quarters start with prior forecast updated for new actuals
Detailed Salary Planning • As in Pillar, Responsibility Centers can elect to build up salary plans person by person, or can budget in a lump sum • Payments to Faculty and Staff will be pre-populated by person • Planning for Graduate Students, PostDocs, Student workers and temps will not be done by person • This initial implementation will not replace SALINC feed to payroll. That would be a future project
Status Update • Prototype Developed • Revenue and Expense • Salaries • History • Reporting • Data Entry Forms • Interfaces
To Do and To Solve • Still Pending • EB Calculation • Input Assumptions • GAAP Reporting • Prototype Evaluation • Report/Data Entry Form missing link • Data Entry Issue: Pillar wasn’t so bad • Performance • Progress, but still some issues • Testing throughout
University/Health System UNIVERSITY REVENUE AND EXPENSE PLAN (Ben 26 digits) HEALTH SYSTEM REVENUE AND EXPENSE PLAN (Lawson Accounts) School of Medicine Clinical Dept User UNIVERSITY SALARY PLAN University Paid Employees (Ben 26 digits) HEALTH SYSTEM SALARY PLAN Health System Paid Employees (Lawson Accounts)
Users • Types • Planners (231) • Interactive (20) • View Only (36) • Numbers: Responsibility Centers need to evaluate deployment
Security • Designed and Tested using Prudence IDs • LDAP server under development • Will facilitate single sign on (transitioning to PennKey) • Need to identify users for initial rollout • Revenue and Expense security modeled on BEN security • Salary security • Based on the paying org: if you pay a person you see that component of their salary
Training • Training Outline • Advanced Chart of Accounts (Quiz: pass to move on) • Org-Program-CREF • Fund Groups • Org Parents • RCM Rows • Budget Guidelines: University and School specific (Quiz) • Hyperion Web-based (includes multiple exercises and quiz) • Individual and Proctored Group format • Penn Specific Examples available via Help • College of Philadelphia graded exercise • School based follow-up: school specific issues, additional coaching as needed
Timetable • December rollout for some senior BAs for possible use in January (Winter). How many will depend on performance and training • Forecasts • Budget • Likely that most departmental users will still be on Pillar in January (Winter). Some departmental users will use Planning this Spring, but probably some will still be on Pillar. In those cases, Pillar plans will be loaded into Planning after submission. • Input assumptions will still be in Excel for January (Winter) • GAAP reporting coming later
Communication • Thursdays at 4:00: The Planning Open House. Anyone can come and see what has been accomplished during the previous week (but call first if you’re coming!) • Web site: Budget Office web site will have a Planning Update link • Periodic e-mail updates to participants and Responsibility Center senior BAs • We value your feedback: Budget@pobox.upenn.edu or any of the Budget Office staff
