Definition of Encumbrance

• General- A commitment within an organization to use funds for a specific purpose

• eUMB- Estimated projection of future regular salary expenses based on the information in eUMB at the time of the encumbrance calculation

- 7 -

How are encumbrances calculated?

• Job Data (current & future) + EFP (current & future) = Encumbrance

• All types of Account Codes (state, auxiliary, revolving, contract and grants)

- 8 -


• All types of employees (Regular, Contingent 2, Students, Contingent 1- (excluding SPC)

• Only Active employees as of Encumbrance date – Active employee is anyone who is

eligible to receive pay

- 9 -


• Calculated by Empl Id/Empl Rcd for each account code and salary account (subcode)

• Based on calendar days (365 in non-leap year and 366 in leap year)

• From current period through the end of the fiscal year (6/30) or the funding end date- whichever is earlier (NOT A LIQUIDATION!)

- 10 -

How are encumbrances calculated?• What is the current period

– First day of pay period following the end date of last pay period processed by Actuals Distributions

– Ex.- Pay Period ending 2/19/05•Actuals Distribution is through

2/19/05•Encumbrance period is from 2/20/05

through 6/30/05

- 11 -

How are encumbrances calculated?• What info comes from Job Data?

– Annual Salary for Salaried (EFY, AFY, ASY) and Exception Hourly (NFY) employees

– Computed annual salary for Hourly (HRL) employees (Std Hrs-weekly x 2 weeks x Hourly Rate x 26.071428)

• Includes all future effective dated Job Data rows in current fiscal year

- 12 -


• What info comes from EFP– Account code distribution – Time period (Funding begin/end

dates)– Department level default account or

PCA, if applicable

• Includes all future effective dated EFPs in current fiscal year

- 13 -

Encumbrance Calculation Example

• AFY Employee - Annual salary $26,071.43 (or $1,000 Bi-weekly)

• EFPs in system at time enc calculated– FBD: 7/1/04; FED: 2/28/05

100% on 4-xxxxx

– FBD: 5/1/05; FED: blank

100% on 1-xxxxx

• Actuals Distribution through 2/19/05

- 14 -


• Encumbrance for 4-xxxxx:– 2/20 thru 2/28 = 9 days – $26,071.43 / 365 x 9 = $642.86

• Encumbrance for Dept PCA/Default:– 3/1 thru 4/30 = 61 days (31+30)– $26,071.43/365 x 61 = $4,357.14

- 15 -


• Encumbrance for 1-xxxxx:– 5/1 thru 6/30 = 61 days (31+30)– $26,071.43 / 365 x 61 = $4,357.14

• Total Encumbrance = $9,357.14 – $1,000 BW x 9.357143 pay periods

left– $642.86 + 4,357.14 + 4,357.14

- 16 -

Other Encumbrance Examples

• See handout with examples of:– Future termination– Future hire– Future department transfer– Missing EFP– Account code funding date expiration– Hourly employee

- 17 -

How often are Encumbrances calculated?

• Once every two weeks– If you make changes to EFPs after

encumbrance is run you have to wait for up to 2 weeks to see results

• Immediately after the Actuals Distribution process– Normally the weekend after payday

- 18 -

How can I view Encumbrances?

• In eUMB– Run the queries called:

•UMB_CA_ENC_BY_EMPL_ID•UMB_CA_ENC_BY_ACCT_CODE•UMB_CA_ENC_BY_DEPT_ID

• In FAS Web– Statement of Payroll Charges (SPC)

- 19 -

When/Where can I view Encumbrances?

• In eUMB, on the Monday following payday– Only the current encumbrance can be

viewed

• In FAS Web, on the Tuesday following payday– “Historical” encumbrances can be

viewed

- 20 -

How can I view Encumbrances in the future?

• When Encumbrances are posted in FAS

• In FAS Web– Month End FAS Report– AM090- Account Statement of Whole

Dollars– AM009- Open Commitment Records

(View)

- 21 -

What will encumbrances affect when posted to FAS?

• Ability to process purchase requisitions if FAS account is in deficit (calculation includes encumbrance)

• Budget Monitoring– Ability by Depts and Central Offices to

monitor FAS account expenditures and encumbrances

- 22 -

Next Steps

• Purchase Order Encumbrances– Make sure current PO encumbrances

have been liquated properly

– If you need to relieve a PO encumbrance, contact Financial Services- Quality Assurance

- 23 -

Next Steps

• EFPs-– Use the UMB_CA_EFP… series queries

to validate your current and future dated EFPs (pivot tables might help)

– Use Funding Summary Report to validate current EFPs (doesn’t capture future EFPs)

– Update EFPs as necessary– If you know your accounts are in

deficit, it’s time to change the EFPs

- 24 -

Next Steps

• Hourly employees– Std Hours are factored in

encumbrance calc

– Hourly employees were converted into eUMB at go-live with 20 Std Hours

– Std Hours cannot be zero- the minimum amount is .01

- 25 -

Next Steps

• Hourly employees– Run query UMB_PR_HOURLY_EES to

validate the Std Hours and who is active

– Std hours should approximate the number of hours the employee works for a more accurate encumbrance

– If an hourly employee hasn’t worked in 6-12 months you should terminate

- 26 -

Next Steps

• Hourly employees– If less than 5 employee changes for

Std Hours, submit Employee Action forms to HRSC

– If 5 or more employee changes for Std Hours, submit spreadsheet (see sample)-

– All Terminations must be submitted on an EA form

- 27 -

Next Steps

• Hourly employees– Spreadsheets can be e-mailed to Vicky

Kelly by a Department Administrator or Director or hand-delivered to HRSC with a Memo signed by the Admin/Dir

– Spreadsheets and EAs are due to HRSC on Monday, March 7th for next pay period

– Questions- Contact HRSC at 6-7600

- 28 -

Next Steps

• This is a new process- PLEASE validate and question anything that doesn’t look right– Recalculate the complex scenarios

• Contact Candace Chow or Mary Williams in FS-Payroll with questions (6-1243)
