Old Year [FY08]/New Year [FY09] Processing
It's that time of year again. Over the next few weeks, STHRs will be focused on rolling Banner HR to the new fiscal year [FY08 to FY09]. We are making available a copy of the FY09 New Year Timeline which lists the specific tasks that need to be done for Old/New Year processing. We will update this copy of the timeline on a weekly basis. Come back often for further updates on critical dates and other useful information.

New Summer EPAFs for UNH
Because we are experiencing problems with EPAFs that process labor distributions across fiscal years, it will not be possible to use the UNH summer work study EPAF with multiple labor lines. Effective immediately, the UHWKSM and 3HWKSM EPAFs have been marked *DO NO USE*. In their place, we have created the following EPAFs that should be used for the following purpose
| UHWKS1 |
Feb 25, 2008
Hire WS Summer May-June – Use this EPAF for UNH summer appointments with hire date of May thru June 30, 2008
|
| UHWKS2 |
U Hire WS Summer July-Aug – Use this EPAF for UNH summer appointments with hire date July 1 thru August 31, 2008 |
| 3HWKS1 |
3 rd Party Hire WS Sumr May-June – Use this EPAF for UNH 3 rd Party summer appointments with hire date of May thru June 30, 2008 |
| 3HWKS1 |
3 rd Party Hire WS Sumr July-Aug – Use this EPAF for UNH summer appointments with hire date July 1 thru August 31, 2008 |
Labor Distribution EPAF’s problems
-- crossing fiscal yearsFeb 15, 2008
We are continuing to experience problems with EPAFs that process labor distributions across fiscal years. This situation is significant and will cause encumbrancing to be wrong if the EPAF is not initiated correctly. The full details (and workaround) can be found at Labor Distribution EPAF’s problems when crossing fiscal years. Please note that there is no problem with processing multiple labor distributions within the same fiscal year. Contact STHRs if you have any questions.
2LDCHG EPAF Usage Jan 22, 2008
Effective immediately, please do not use the 2LDCHG EPAF to process any transactions that cross fiscal years. We have discovered this causes an encumbrance problem. We are working with SunGard to try to understand why this is occurring. The workaround – entering two 1LDCHG EPAFs, while more work, will avoid this situation. You can still use the 2LDCHG EPAF if all of the job labor distribution records have effective dates within the same fiscal year.
New EPAF Trapping Jan 2008
#Error# Earn code 418 only valid on Transition Allowance EPAFs *HCPEX or *HAPSS
A new trapping has been activated which will help prevent the inadvertent use of Earn Code 418 - Transition Allowance on the wrong EPAF. Earn Code 418 should only be used to pay a transition allowance payment using the *HCPEX or *HAPSS EPAFs. This new trapping limits the use of Earn Code 418 to the *HCPEX or *HAPSS EPAFs. Please note that this new trapping will not affect any other established uses of the *HCPEX and *HAPSS EPAFs.
