  • How do I process a funding change?
  • Funding Change Process (PDF)
    The Shared Services Unit asks that you follow these guidelines when processing funding changes, primarily because the appointments and distributions in PPS interface with the online timesheet system and any changes to the accounting information greatly impacts how payroll is calculated.Do not make changes to or create new appointments (i.e. extend appointments, change percentages, etc.). Changes are limited to account information on the distribution lines.
    1.  Do not delete a distribution line unless absolutely necessary (typically to make room on that particular appointment). If there are not enough distribution lines available and an additional appointment is required, contact COE HR asap.
    2.  All Funding Changes need to be done no later the MOA for Monthly and the B1A or B2A for the Bi-Weekly computes to ensure no blocked transactions.
    3.  COE HR/Shared Services must be notified immediately when a funding change on an appointment with 2 or more distribution lines has been made as it affects how an employee has been set-up in the Online Timesheet System.
    4.  Retroactive funding changes are the responsibility of the department and are to be processed in Kuali (effective 7/13/11), unless there is a change to the object code, title code and work study. If an EDLR is necessary, the SSU will create a 644-D.
    5.  If a funding change requires a new appointment it must be processed through Shared Services.
