• Direct Access to Cognos Reporting
Position Management’s goal is to provide schools and departments
with the information needed to manage positions and salary budgets
effectively. Initially, Position Management will only effect exempt
and non-exempt staff positions, with faculty and research positions
following later. Positions for graduate students, temporary employees,
and work-study students will not be included.
Converting Reports from CUFS to the NU Financial System:
FASIS has converted data from CUFS to NU Financials. Fiscal year 2009 data has been converted and these reports are available to run.
Fiscal Year 2008 data will remain in the CUFS format.
Position Budgeted Salary Page for Staff Positions
In 2007, a Budgeted Salary field was added to each active staff position.
For filled positions, this field was loaded with the current incumbent’s
annual salary. For vacant positions, the Budgeted Salary was filled
with the prior incumbent’s salary.
With
the Position Budgeted Salary page, administrators can change the
Budgeted Salary field as needed for individual positions.
How is the page used?
Payroll Expense Distribution (PED) Vista Reports
The following reports can be used in addition to the Position Management reports: NWPAY013, GL Rpt by Department,
NWPAY013A, GL Rpt by Dept for Mult Positions, NWPAY016B, Rpt by
Account
A column displaying the Position Budgeted Salary is displayed on each report.
This field is displayed only for Staff positions (where the Position
Type is equal to STF, and the Position Category is equal to either
EXM or NEX).
In cases where the position has multiple funding lines, the Budgeted
Salary is split based on the funding distribution.
