OVERVIEW AND KEY CHANGES
Transition Slide – Overview
13
What you do is the same…• Record funding distributions and distribution
changes• Enter retroactive funding distributions• Enter release time, with some minor process
changes
WHAT IS THE SAME
14
Where you do it is different…• Department Budget Table = JED
• Where ChartField information is stored• Includes Release Time
• Direct Retro Distribution = PET• Process for moving personnel expenses after they
post to the General Ledger• Completed in two steps: search and post
WHERE HAS CHANGED
15
Funding End Date• Funding End Date = Enc End Date• Encumbrances and Actuals cannot be posted past the
date• Defaults to sponsored project end date
TERMINOLOGY REVIEW
16
Combination (Combo) Code• Unique ID associated with a particular ChartField string• Like a system-generated short cut
Suspense Account• ChartField combination used to hold encumbrances and
actuals when…• A ChartField value is invalid• The Funding End Date is past
TERMINOLOGY REVIEW
17
Department Budget Table• Where ChartField information is stored • Still in HR system but no longer in Job Data• Funding information is stored by fiscal year• Able to tie ChartField to an appointment (university and
College of Medicine) or position (Wexner Medical Center)
KEY CHANGES
18
Other changes include…• Release time
• Same functionality, new look and feel and ChartField changes
• Salary distribution should be entered with the appropriate release time codes

LOOKING FORWARD
Transition Slide – Process & Access
31
Who does it?• New process flow at hire, rehire, additional appointment• Credentialed role; no access to pages without training

THINGS TO CONSIDER
32
Getting ready now…• Complete all the PETs possible prior to go live in late
May 2014• Direct Retro Distributions only possible for paychecks
issued in HR 9.2• Temporary process to be communicated
• Do not record future dated JED rows for FY15 (effective date 7/1/14 or later)
• Do not split ChartFields by amount
MORE THINGS TO CONSIDER
33
Change our approach…• Think long term to avoid salary expenses posting to the
suspense account• HR Professionals• Fiscal Officers• Principal Investigators
CULTURE CHANGE
34
We’re still working on…• Reporting• OSP guidelines and the system• Process for future dated funding changes
UPCOMING DISCUSSIONS
35
Look for…• Updates via direct emails, HR Now, NewsLink
(go.osu.edu/hr92 links to all HR 9.2 blog entries)• More sessions to discuss details (OSP, new processes)
as soon as more information is available• Training in the spring
Ask questions and provide feedback…• Now or…• [email protected] anytime

CHANGEAfter you've done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully. After five years, look at it with suspicion. And after ten years, throw it away and start all over. ~Alfred Edward Perlman
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot
change anything. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Change is imminent! We must enthusiastically embrace it, manage it, and craft it to our advantage. ~ Steve Craft
Those who expect moments of change to be comfortable and free of conflict have not learned their history. ~Joan Wallach Scott
If you have always done it that way, it’s probably wrong. ~ Charles Kettering
It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things. ~Theodore Roosevelt
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance. ~ Alan W. Watts
