Brief Description |
Rationale |
Magnitude/Impact |
|
Allow a zero percentage for work-study split. |
The intent is to have a work study program with normal non-zero percentages most of the time, but turn off the split for a certain interval of time. |
Minor code changes in one batch program. |
|
Creation of no-longer-supported Base Payroll files EMPLCHG file and EDB restore file. |
For local system use. |
Uses a suite of programs and DB2 views that are no longer supported in Base Payroll. Subject to technical failure when EDB structure changes and related Base program code changes occur. Can not be supported after full accounting unit conversion. |
|
Support for selected reprints of timesheets where department code is blank. |
Operational requirement. |
Minor code change in one batch program. |
|
Customization of interface files expense distribution, online rush checks, and corporate personnel system.
|
Required for feeds to local general ledger and accounts payable systems. Also, SB is a general campus, so an AFP lookup is not required when creating the corporate personnel activity file. Base Payroll does not provide program code for creation of the corporate personnel mail file.
|
Modifications to three batch programs. One local copymember and program for the mail file. |
|
Reporting Compute PAR reports are produced in name order. |
Operational requirement. |
A single local program reads the PPP440 fiche data file and re-sequences it. |
|
Online Security Support has been added for additional ARSM rule types, e.g., based on work study code, appointment type, and LAFS. Support also was added for hierarchical departmental relationships. ARSM validation was modified to always test based on EDB values and not call the PAR or HDB access modules |
Additional ARSM rule types enable a finer 'cut' when granting access to a user. Invocation of program UCPPPEDB for all validation requests enables use of the full array of rule types, both Base and locally-added types. Base PAR and HDB validation routines support only a subset of rule types and therefore can require different levels of access for different databases for a given user. |
Small technical impact. More complex account administration. Department hierarchy was implemented at SB before it became available in Base Payroll. It was deemed easier to continue using the local code than to retrofit. |
|
Expense Distribution Always make work study sub = '2'. Removed support for 'Total Benefit Charges by Object Code / Employee Group' (CBUC totals) report. Customized various account and fund values. |
General ledger system requirements. |
Extensive modifications to two batch programs. |
|
Modified employee name formatting. |
Local preference is for last name, comma, first name with no space after the comma. |
Minor code change in one batch program. |
|
Paper check processing modifications consisting of sorting and lookup differences based on check disposition values. |
Operational requirements. |
Extensive modifications to one batch program. |
