July LCD Processing

To personnel with Labor Cost Distribution (LCD) responsibilities, this is the monthly reminder to confirm your salary information by running your LCD Setup Audit.

Any changes to the distribution of funding for payroll expenses that you would like made for July 2014 payroll must be received by Finance Support no later than Wednesday, July 23, at 5:00 p.m.

For staff member changes, all requests can be submitted directly to Finance Support:

Andrew Nguyen
Finance Support, CL 500
Extended Zip 0008

For faculty who are on release time and/or any split funding changes, employee profile requests must be approved by the Dean’s Office prior to submittal to our office. The Release Time Authorization (RTA) form for faculty on release time with the Research Foundation should be sent to Faculty Affairs – please do not send the RTA form to Finance Support.

We cannot guarantee that requests for changes received after the deadline will be captured for the July payroll cycle.

Reminder: Payroll expenditures for Fiscal Year 2014/15 will reflect regular/negative pay for the months of July 2014 through June 2015; positive pay salary expenditures (e.g. student salary and overtime) will represent the months of June 2014 through May 2015. Positive pay for Fiscal Year 2015/16 will reflect expenditures for the twelve month period of June 2015 through May 2016.

For more information about the LCD process, please see http://www.sjsu.edu/finance/about_us/budget/budget_dev/people_budgeting/labor_cost_distribution/index.html.

If you have any questions, please contact Andrew Nguyen at finance-support@sjsu.edu or 4-1585.

Say Goodbye to CFS Data Warehouse 10G

As previously announced, the CSU Chancellor’s Office recently completed the upgrade of CFS Data Warehouse from version 10G to version 11G. The CFS Data Warehouse is the reporting tool used by campus departments to monitor financial activity affecting their University funds (not including funds managed by SJSU Auxiliaries).

Beginning Friday, August 8, 2014, the 10G version will no longer be available.

The CSU has posted video and tutorials for 11G and they can be found on their website- https://csyou.calstate.edu/Divisions-Orgs/bus-fin/it/BI-DW/CFSDW/Pages/BI-DW-User-Documentation.aspx

To learn more about changes made and new features available in Data Warehouse 11G, Finance has scheduled several Overview of Data Warehouse 11G (Course Number: FIN012) sessions for current Data Warehouse users. If you are a new user to Data Warehouse who needs access to the system, then enroll in the Introduction to Data Warehouse (Course Number: FIN008) instead.
