22. SAM99 Warning Messages • “Campus Records Total does not Equal Expenditures” • This warning is associated with the first reconciliation requirement from SAM 7900… • The reconciliation of total Receipts/Disbursements on campus books to total Receipts/Disbursements processed by the SCO, adjusted by campus Assets and Liabilities – also referred to as “Accruals” • Year to date R&D activity on the Controller’s books is compared to year to date R&D activity on the campus books

24. SAM99 Warning Messages • The Receipts/Disbursements warning is the result of an issue related to R&D Transactions • When there is a warning for R&D, there will be a warning for BBA • Reason: BBA is a calculation that is impacted by R&D transactions • Usually, you receive both messages for the same dollar amount

26. SAM99 Warning Messages • When you receive a Receipts/Disbursements warning, find out… • Was the Receipt/Disbursement recorded in the wrong fund? • If so, reclassify it to the correct fund • Was the Receipt/Disbursement recorded in the correct fund? • If so, clear the Accrual against FBC • If not, record the Receipt/Disbursement against FBC • When the R&D and BBA warnings are for the same $ amount, an Actuals Journal will resolve both warnings • BBA is a calculation that is impacted by R&D transaction

31. SAM99 Warning Messages • If you receive a BBA warning only, there is a difference between campus and SCO recorded Budget Balance amounts • Remedy… Query the LEDGER_BUDG table to review campus budget entries and identify differences with the SCO • Work closely with your Budget Office to review the issue • As appropriate, clear the difference with a Budget Journal
