May 28 Tuesday Tips

Don’t forget that the Budget Management System upgrade and maintenance will take place this weekend!

Here are your tips for the week of May 27:

Tip 1: Did you hear? There’s a new version of the Budget Status Report available!

  • The Budget Status Report provides budget-to-actual information at the summary and detail levels for multiple financial departments. This report can be exported to PDF and Excel, and has subscription capabilities which will deliver a customized report to your email on a schedule. You can find this report in the Data Warehouse under “Most Commonly Used.”
  • Don’t forget to join us for the Position Funding Cube Workshop today at the Georgia Center, Mahler Hall. You can join us in person from 10 a.m. – noon or via collaborate.

Tip 2: Compensatory payout balances are now updated for your biweekly comp eligible employees.

  • The compensatory payout balances are now updated for your biweekly comp eligible employees. These balances need to be reviewed and added to employee’s timesheets by 6/1/2019.
  • To determine the number of hours to be paid follow the training tutorial here. Use biweekly period end date of 5/18/19.
  • To process the comp hours for payment, follow the training tutorial here. These hours can be added to 6/1/19 on the employee’s timesheet.
  • If an employee plans to use their comp hours as an absence event prior to 6/30/19, please make sure that the absence request is submitted and approved in OneUSG Connect by 6/1/19.

Tip 2+: Additional interactive Project Status Report trainings have been added.

  • Based on popular demand, additional interactive Project Status Report training sessions have been scheduled. Some of these classes are already full, but space is currently available on May 30, May 31, June 3, June 10 and July 11. You can see the full listing of classes on the UGA Calendar of Events, Sponsored Projects Page here. There is also a tutorial in the OneSource training library here. Please pass this information along to any faculty or staff who may have an interest.

Tip 2++: Clear your cache!

  • As you may have heard, the OneSource team did an upgrade to the UGA Financial Management System the weekend of 5/18. While you should clear your web browser’s cache, cookies and history periodically in order to prevent or resolve performance problems, it is best practice to ensure these steps occur after a system upgrade. The browser cache is a temporary storage location on your computer for files downloaded by your browser to display websites.
