Caution Icon

If an employee has split funding for a month, you can use the + if you are only changing one line of the costing.

For example: If October had two costing rows at 50% each and only one line item was corrected, only that funding will be changed. The row that you did not click the + on will remain on the same funding with no change. Refer to Multiple Lines Corrections if you need to change more than one line.

 

  • On the History Details page, correct the Percentage field accordingly.
    • You can split what was initially paid from a single account amongst multiple accounts.
  • Please select if the payroll costing will be funded via a Project (grant) by toggling between Yes/No in the appropriate field.
    • Additional fields will populate based on your response.
  • The system will search for existing funding sources as you type within each field.
    • Tab over to the following field once the correct information is listed.
  • In the Comments section, please include any important information specific to this payroll costing correction.
  • If the payroll costing will be split amongst multiple accounts, click on Save and Create Another to enter further details until 100% of the costing is appropriately allocated.
