To avoid a discrepancy in the Percent of Effort, one should always redistributed earnings from/to a restricted fund using the following steps, in order:
Add a new row (as needed)
Redistribute the Percent of Effort from the original row to the new row.
Update the chartstring on the new row to the new chartstring.
Percent of Pay is a calculation of one earnings row against the UC Monthly Salary.
Percent of Effort is a calculation of an earnings row against the total effort of the employee for the month. This value has a different calculation for restricted funds when the employee's UC Monthly Salary is greater than the prorated monthly cap rate for that fund. Note, Y-OTC (over the cap) rows do not bear effort, with that effort captured on the N-OTC (under the cap) amount. It should be noted that some earn codes are non-effort bearing.
If a transaction hasn’t been approved within seven days of submission, it will skip all potential approvers. In this situation, you can reach out to UCBUCPath@berkeley.edu to have the transaction denied or re-routed to an approver.
No. If the approver identifies an error in the transaction, they will need to deny the transaction so that the initiator can resubmit with corrections.
You would want to use Save without Validation if there were errors on the page, but you did not want to undo *everything* you've done in the transaction. One use case: Let's say you get an error that an FAU you are trying to redistribute to is invalid. If the issue is that the FAU is valid, but just hasn't been activated in BFS, you could save with the currently invalid FAU in your transaction, get the FAU activated in BFS, and then come back to complete the transaction.
