Payroll Account Report

The Payroll Account Report is replacing Labor Distribution Report (for monthly verifications):

Old – Labor Distribution Report was used to verify payroll account totals, except the WCI & UCI, on the Revenue/Expense tab of the Monthly Verification Worksheet excel file. And, the Payroll Account report was run to verify the WCI & UCI.

New – The Payroll Account Report will be used to verify payroll account totals.

Impact – Since the Payroll Account Report has the same information as the Labor Distribution, the Labor Distribution Report will no longer be run & distributed. We will now use the Payroll Account Report for this purpose.  The only total figure that may be unusual would be the actual pay, since is will include longevity, if any—but this account total is not used.


Finance Query of the Month

Account Listing:  UHS_ACCOUNT_LISTING

this is a listing (in excel) of all account numbers, showing short & long descriptions to aid in deciding which account number will better suit your immediate needs.  Although the listing on the UH website is more detailed, this query will contain the most current information.

“Tips for Making Life Easier with PeopleSoft”

Inactivate cost centers that are no longer required (those that have no activity).  Time and paper can be saved by only printing active status cost centers to be reconciled.

Note: 
On the 1074 and 1063 report request page, use the checkbox “Only Print Active Cost Centers” if you want the report to exclude cost center combinations that are inactive.  Therefore, you have the flexibility of running reports for inactive cost centers, when needed, and the ability to suppress those cost centers, when not needed.

Now you can delete old financial reports in Report Manager. Users now have the ability to delete their old financial reports in Report Manager, using the Administration tab.  They can click in the box next to the report and then click the Delete button to delete their reports.  Otherwise, reports will remain in Report Manager for 30 days.       

Assembling Vouchers

Here are some tips for assembling vouchers:

All bills and receipts smaller than a sheet of paper should be taped down on all edges. Avoid taping over print on cash register receipts. Thermal ink will disappear when tape covers it.

Avoid using highlighter in vouchers, especially on bills and invoices. Highlighter makes originals unusable because the Finance office cannot send highlighted documents to Records Retention.
