  14. FES Update • Process changes in new system (06-07) • FES training schedule • Interim processing (April-June 05-06)

  15. FES Interim Period - Background • April 1 - June 30, 2006 • DOEs are based on annualized effort over the UK fiscal year • Need to be able to certify full year • The current FES system will continue processing faculty effort until June 30, 2006

  16. FES Interim Period Processing

  17. FES Interim Processes • April 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006 • FES faculty will be paid on a clearing cost center (at the department level) by IRIS HR/Payroll beginning April 2006 (monthly pay period 04) • HR/Payroll will update FES with the faculty base pay • The current FES reallocation process using the FES DOE information will record the payroll distribution in IRIS FI (financial accounting) and will update the HRS labor distribution

  18. FES Interim Processes • April 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006 • The FES Labor Distribution by Department report on Beta93 will show the FRS accounts that were affected. • Existing full-time faculty prime positions and assignment changes will need to be maintained in HRS payroll for the interim period. • New full-time faculty prime positions and assignments will also need to be added to HRS. • Changes to HRS will need to be communicated to Sponsored Projects Accounting. • On July 1, 2006, the FES replacement system will go live and process directly with IRIS FI and HR modules.

  19. FESInterim ProcessesHRS Entry for Faculty

  20. FESInterim ProcessesHRS Entry for Faculty

  21. FES Interim Processes • Tools to reconcile during the interim period • HR Labor Distribution • FES Labor Distribution on Beta93 • FI posting by document type (Y5) • Ledgers for clearing cost centers • FES online screens P32, P33, P46, P47 • Cross-reference for G/L accounts http://www.uky.edu/IRIS/FI/glaccts.html • Cross-reference for chart of accounts http://www.uky.edu/IRIS/FI/Chart/

  22. IRIS-FES

  23. IRIS FES Replacement System • May 2006 • New IRIS FES replacement system goes live FY 06-07. • The single DOE form will be available for printing via the web prior to the new FES DOE entry application being available.

  24. IRIS FES Replacement System • Beginning July1, 2006 • What hasn’t changed? • Faculty are still required to do a DOE. • Departments will send DOE versions to the colleges for approval and the colleges will then forward to Sponsored Projects Accounting for approval.

  25. IRIS FES Replacement System • Beginning July 1, 2006 – New Requirements • Administrators with full-time faculty rank must complete the detailed effort portion of a DOE. • Control of distribution in IRIS-HR/Payroll will be optional for administrators. At a future date, colleges may request that this be activated. The Go Live date for controlling distributions will be announced.

  26. IRIS FES Replacement System • Beginning July 1, 2006 – Process Changes • New formula that determines monthly percentages of effort (IRIS FES does not accept negative payroll distribution percentages) A deferred account is no longer needed • There must be at least one cost object active for each month in the distribution • Reallocations will not be as frequent as the current weekly reallocations – exact schedule to be determined

  27. IRIS FES Replacement System Beginning July 1, 2006 – Process Changes • Deferred pay accounting is supported as an enhancement in HR. The FES controlled distribution for 9- and 10-month faculty will start in August and end in May. • A Cost Center will be established for each department to record “four partial” grants (now called expected grants), rather than entering the “4” on the DOE (This will be considered sponsored.).

  28. IRIS FES Replacement System • Beginning July 1, 2006 – Improvements • No automatic track splits; must be requested of Sponsored Projects Accounting • User can drill down from IRIS FES screens to view detailed IRIS-FI and IRIS HR/Payroll information • Legacy FES requires that faculty be added to HRS before DOE can be entered or uploaded from the faculty database. Will be able to enter the DOE data (which will be verified before upload) before the faculty member is hired in IRIS HR/Payroll. • Users will be able to print both Draft and Final DOE. The DOE is printed on the local printer.

  29. IRIS FES Replacement System • Beginning July 1, 2006 – Improvements • The FES client will allow the effort and the payroll distribution block to be entered in any order. It will note when the percentages are not in balance with each other. • Prior fiscal year DOE versions may be copied to new fiscal year, according to decisions made in each college. • When DOE is sent for approval, the data will be sent real time to IRIS. There is no need for a batch upload from the FES client DOE entry to IRIS FES. • The approval transaction is in IRIS. • Two types of versions – detail effort changes vs cost object distribution changes

  30. FES Training • Training will be available for FES DOE entry users in May. • Training will be split between those individuals who prepare the DOEs only and those who perform HR actions. • Roles will be established in security for FES functions that will include basic HR and FI accesses as needed to support the IRIS-FES system. • Process includes identification of users of the existing Faculty Database (DOE only) and FES systems. • Area Fiscal Officers will schedule training for all users of IRIS-FES. • To gain access to the systems, training must be completed.

  31. Availability Control (Grant Budgeting) • Budgeting - FRS vs SAP • How AVC works • Timing of AVC • Known issues and solutions • Discussion

  32. FRS Object Code ABR Rule No Equivalent ABR Pool SAP G/L Account BudRule Sponsored Class Budgeted Sponsored Class Budgeting

  33. Budgeting Sponsored Class and Budgeted Sponsored Class • A Sponsored Class may have one or more G/L accounts • Sponsored Classes track to a BUDGETED Sponsored Class depending upon the BudRule, just as in FRS different ranges of object codes tracked to an ABR Pool depending on the ABR rule • To understand your budget, you need to know the G/L account and the BudRule

  34. Budgeting • ABR 9 BudRule 9 1000 – All E500000 – Direct Expenses 9998 – F&A costs E590020 – F&A costs

  39. Availability Control Why do we need AVC? • Not in compliance with OMB circulars • Not compliant with Federal sponsor regulations • Not compliant with UK policies • Sponsor audits more frequent • Findings may be extrapolated to all other grants from same sponsor

  40. Availability Control CAS Report example of extrapolation: • Monthly FRS CAS report averaged$992,000 per month • Federal funds for UK averaged $2,300,000 in 2004-2005 • Federal F&A rate for 2004-2005 = 47.3% • 992,000 * 1.473 =$1,461,216 • 1,461,216/2,300,000 * 100% =63%Unbudgeted and unjustified expenses on federal and federal flow-thru grants

  41. Availability Control - Timing Why turn on AVC now? October FI Go Live • Grants budgets did not post until November • Problems with conversion data • Spent October dealing with conversion issues with grants • November was spent adding the ability to charge F&A costs • December was spent correcting F&A postings that were overcharged • January first month where these and other issues were successfully resolved

  42. Availability Control - Timing Why turn on AVC now?

  43. Availability Control Definition Availability Control (AVC) Verifies sufficient budget is available prior to allowing documents to post Includes three levels of tolerance Tolerances Define what type of message is displayed: Information Warning Error

  44. Availability Control – How it works Tolerances are assigned by grant type and sponsored class. Grant Types excluded: CB – Cash Basis HC – Human Clinical FA – Federal Appropriation (College of Ag) SF – Student Financial Aid

  45. Availability Control – How it works Sponsored Classes excluded All Payroll and Benefits sponsored classes (including fellowship) • Other sponsored class overrides: • E540348 – Procard default • E590000 – E599999 F&A costs • Revenue sponsored classes – All • Will only stop payroll, procard or F&A costs, if the entire grant is over budget.

  46. Availability Control • 8 Production Issues Identified Status – 7Resolved 03/01/2006 Service center and recharge centers suspense entries Issue: Not getting paid for services Status - Unresolved Proposal - Set up a overrun cost center per area (at lowest level desired by business officer) to post charges if budgeted sponsored class is over budget

  47. Availability Control Decision Process: 1. Campus forum held 03/28/2006 2. Summary to be sent to Karen Combs and Dan Wentz for review 3. Summary to be forwarded to the IRIS Project 4. Recommendation and summary will be forwarded to business owners: Wendy Baldwin and Clay Owen
