Kuali Accounting Cycle Diagram

Labor Distribution – General

• Labor ledger contains detail salary and wage by person, position, type of pay, and pay period – benefits are aggregated by accounting string

• Payroll encumbrances recorded in labor ledger as internal encumbrances – updated with each payroll closing

• Two views of Labor – (AC) based on time of posting or (A2) when effort occurred

• Accounts Not Accepting Fringes must Identify an Account that can accept Fringes

• Sub Funds can be set up to Not Accept Wages• Document Types can be established for Payroll Types – Normal

Pay (PAY), Payroll Cancellations (PAYC), Payroll Accruals (PAYA), etc…

• Entries processed by the labor poster are aggregated and feed the general ledger

• When Labor transactions reach the GL, offsets are specified by Document Type – i.e., PAYC to hit Cash directly, PAY to run through Salaries Payable, etc…

Labor Distribution – Maintenance Tables

• Payroll Object Codes report to Levels which report to Consolidations– 2000 Academic Salaries -> Academic Salaries (ACSA) ->

Compensation (CMPN)– 2500 Clerical Professional -> Bi-Weekly Salaries (BISA) ->

Compensation (CMPN)– 3000 Non-Student Hourly -> Hourly Compensation (HRCO) ->

Compensation (CMPN)– 5625 Fringe Benefits –> Benefits (BENF) -> Compensation

(CMPN) • Payroll Object Codes are assigned Benefit Types

– 2000 Academic Salaries has Benefits Types of FICA (F), Fringe Benefits (G), and Retirement Exempt (R)

• Benefit Types are assigned Percentages and Object Codes each Fiscal Year– FICA (F) – 7.07% on Object Code 5760– Fringe Benefits (G) – 12.74% on Object Code 5625– Retirement Exempt (R) – 18.74% on Object Code 5772

Effort CertificationScheduled for Kuali Release 3.0

Kuali Days Conference11/13/2007

Effort Certification Overview

• KFS Effort Reporting system is fully integrated with the KFS Labor Ledger

• Creates routable Effort Report electronic documents based on Labor Ledger data

• Reporting periods can be customized by institution

• Reports can be approved as generated, or with changes. Changes create automatic payroll transfers in the Labor Ledger

Effort Certification Process

Process of generating Effort Reports1. Effort Certification Administrator logs into

the system and instructs it to send out the Effort Certification Documents.

– This is the Effort Certification Batch Process– The time periods for certifications are defined

by the institution2. At this time, Labor Ledger Salary

Transfers are locked for the period. Any changes must be made on the Effort Certifications that have just been sent.

3. Effort Certifications are then either approved as-is, or can be changed.

Effort Certification Process (Cont.)

4. If the Effort Certification is approved as-is, the accounting is unchanged and the report is complete.

5. If the Effort Certification is changed and fully approved, a Salary Transfer Document is automatically generated by the system to change the affected accounts.

– These automatic Salary Transfers book to the last month of the reporting period

6. After an Effort Certification is fully approved and completed, changes cannot be made for that period except in special circumstances.

– The Effort Certification Re-create Document is used for this

Relationship between Effort Reporting and Salary Adjustments in Labor
