May 2019 Position Control “Third Thursday Demo” available for playback
The recorded Third Thursday demo of Position Control in PeopleSoft is now posted on the Third Thursday page. Position Control goes beyond the Add/Update Position screen in PeopleSoft and often staff from different departments across HCM and FIN are involved in the management and maintenance of Positions. In this presentation we highlight existing resources and queries that can help make cross-department planning, communicating, timing, and auditing easier. We explain some PeopleSoft components related to Position Control on the horizon that will be available to districts in the future. We demo a query to help audit departments on the DBT, Position, and Job Data. We also include time-sensitive reminders about this year’s DBT Rollover Process. For your convenience, below are the links to the demo and presentation materials.  |
New Requisition Query – M_REQ_PRE_ENCUMB_BALANCE
 The new M_REQ_PRE_ENCUMB_BALANCE query identifies the Requisition ID and remaining line item balances for requisitions that have not been completely sourced into a Purchase Order and for which the Requisition Final Function has not been used during the sourcing process. The query results match the Add/Update Requisition screen. This query can help identify balances throughout the year and especially at year end when all encumbrance balances must be cleared in order for districts to close their books.

EBS is temporarily “holding” all HCM queries scheduled to run during Payroll
Please refrain from scheduling HCM queries until after Payroll. At 5:00 tonight, EBS will temporarily “hold” HCM queries scheduled by users to prevent interference with payroll processing. These queries will resume their regular schedules on Tuesday, May 21, 2019 after payroll is confirmed. Any additional queries that are scheduled during Payroll will also be put on hold.

All users will be locked out of PeopleSoft HCM and Employee Self-Service (ESS) on Mon, 05/20/19 at 5:00 pm
At 5:00 pm tonight, Monday, May 20, 2019, all users' access to PeopleSoft HCM and ESS (Employee Self-Service) will be removed until payroll is confirmed, typically through the middle of the next day. This means you will not be able to access HCM or ESS during this time. You will have access to the system once payroll is confirmed. We will notify your organization's PeopleSoft HCM contacts when access has been returned. |
Updated Absence Management Queries – M_AM_SICK_VAC_LIABILITY and M_AM_SICK_VAC_LIABILITY_COMBO
The M_AM_SICK_VAC_LIABILITY and M_AM_SICK_VAC_LIABILITY_COMBO queries were updated to show the most current Calendar Group ID from the Results by Calendar screen (Main Menu > Global Payroll & Absence Mgmt > Absence and Payroll Processing > Review Absence/Payroll Info > Results by Calendar) for the Calendar ID queried. Previously, the query would show the matching Calendar Group ID, rather than the most current row. The previous version of the query would pull row 1 of 3 from Results by Calendar in the below example, where the Calendar ID and Calendar Group ID both are 2019-02:  Updated query will show the most current row, which is row 3 of 3 in the below example for April’s Calendar Group ID of 2019-04. Notice the updated sick balance/take amounts:  |
