Enhancement to HR Termination E-Form (11/30/06)

A change has been made to the Termination E-form. The "Annual Leave Hours to be Paid" and the "Comp Time Hours To Be Paid" fields have been expanded to show five decimal places instead of two decimal places. This change solves a rounding problem that was occurring occasionally in an internal process. Even though the fields will now allow five decimal places, no changes are needed in the way that you enter hours to be paid. You may still enter the hours with two decimal places.

New SAPGui Corrects Problems with Internet Explorer 7 (11/1/06)

A new version of the SAPGui, which addresses the problems introduced by Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), is now available for distribution.  SAPGui 620, patch level 64 is available at https://my.tennessee.edu/pls/portal/url/page/iris/sapgui. When accessing this page, users will be asked to authenticate with a NetID and password.

The SAPGui download site includes directions for downloading the SAPGui. PLEASE REVIEW THESE CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS. This SAPGui installation process is more lengthy than previous versions.   At one point, it may appear the installation has stopped, but the installation will continue after several minutes (or longer, depending upon the speed of your machine and other local machine settings). The instructions addresses this issue and will walk you through the other steps as well.

You will also see a step to update the INI files. It is NOT necessary to download the INI files at this point unless you are doing the installation on a machine that does not currently have the SAPGui installed.

If you have questions or need assistance with the SAPGui installation, please contact the IRIS Helpdesk at irishelpdesk@tennessee.edu. 

UPDATE:  Several people have questioned whether it is necessary to upgrade to IE7 to use this new version of the SAPGui. You do NOT need to upgrade to IE7 to work with IRIS or to work with SAPGui 620, patch level 64. This new version of the SAPGui will continue to work with Internet Explorer 6. However, when IE7 is installed on your machine, you will need to upgrade to SAPGui 620, patch level 64 if you are using the Workplace inbox for approvals or FYIs, the Travel Manager for processing travel reimbursements, or several financial reports.

2007 HR Departmental Deadline Calendar (10/30/06)

Revised Termination E-From Available on Monday (9/29/06)
On Monday, October 2, 2006, a revised version of the Termination Request E-form will be implemented. The new transaction, ZPTERM000 (Termination Request), will replace two existing transactions ZPEMP000 (Termination Request) and ZPEMP003 (Display Termination Request). ZPEMP000 and ZPEMP003 will no longer be active.  If these transactions are in your list of Favorites, you will need to replace them with ZPTERM000.

The basic functionality of ZPTERM000 is the same as the previous transactions. However, the look and feel has been changed to more closely resemble the newer e-forms. Listed below are some of the enhancements:

• Addresses in foreign countries are now supported.
• Fields have been added for cell phone and e-mail address. This will normally be a non-UT e-mail address. After entry into IRIS, the cell phone number will be stored on the Permanent Residence Address infotype. The non-UT e-mail address will be stored on the Communication infotype as subtype MAIL.
• A new button has been added to assist with calculation of the annual leave to be paid. After pressing the Calc button, press the Help button to find documentation explaining the details of this functionality.
• If the employee holds more than one position or is paid from more than one funding source, that information is now displayed on the e-form request screen.
• An Error List button is available for viewing multiple entry errors.

Change to ZCAT Time Entry to Support Recording of Overtime (8/7/06)
Effective today, a new attendance type is available to record overtime hours. The use of this attendance type will allow departments to control which hours are considered overtime when more than 40 hours are worked in a week.

If a department wishes to control which hours are converted to overtime, they may now enter those hours using attendance type OTRx (where x equals 1-day, 2-evening, 3-night shifts). In this case, those hours will be paid as overtime and the cost center/WBS element associated with those hours will be charged with the overtime premium. Any hours entered using this attendance type that do not qualify for overtime will automatically be converted back to regular hours prior to being paid.

Departments may continue to enter all hours worked using the traditional attendance types. In the case of overtime, hours worked at the end of the week will continue to be converted to overtime hours.

Please refer to the IRIS Help documentation for a detailed description of the use and behavior of these new attendance types.

Revised BCS Commitment Item Group Names (8/7/06)
One of the features of the new Budget Control System (BCS) reports is the use of Commitment Item Groups. A couple of standard Commitment Item Groups were delivered with the new reports: TOTEXP and TOTEXP_B (or BCS002 for the WBS element reports). Based on customer feedback, these commitment item groups have been renamed to be more descriptive.

If you were using TOTEXP, you should now use ALL_CI_NO.BENE. This group will provide in formation on all commitment items, but will not include benefits.

If you were using TOTEXP_B (or BCS002), you should now use ALL_CI_AND.BENE. This group will provide information on all commitment items AND benefits.

The documentation for the BCS reports has been updated to reflect these new Commitment Item Group names. Variants that reference the old commitment item groups need to be changed to use the new ones. If you have questions about the new Commitment Item Groups, please contact the IRIS Helpdesk.

Posting FY2007 Invoice Against FY 2006 Commitment (7/3/06)
From July 3, 2006 to July 12, 2006, departments may have invoices to be paid with FY2006 funds and also invoices to be paid with FY2007 funds, depending on when the goods or services were received. Invoices to be paid with FY2006 funds must have a Posting Date of 06/30/2006. When the invoice is against a purchase order, there is an additional consideration: the expense must be in the same fiscal year as its related commitment. Thus, for a product received in June 2006, both the purchase order and the invoice would be posted to FY2006. However, you may need to enter an FY2007 invoice against an FY2006 commitment. To be able to do this, the purchase order commitment must be carried forward into FY2007 first. Please contact the Controller’s Office at (865) 974-2493 with your specific PO number and request that it be carried forward.

2. The department ledger reports will be changed internally to read BCS budgets; they should not appear different to the user.
3. Reports that show only actuals or commitments will not change.
4. Other reports, such as Y_DEV_17000001 - Available Annual Budget - No Structure will be replaced in July by equivalent reports that provide the same functionality, but with a new name and friendlier operation; the formats will differ only slightly.

Transaction ZFWBS011 - Restricted WBSE Fiscal Year Report (8/31/05)
There is a new report available in IRIS that is intended to assist Department Heads in monitoring the fiscal year activity of all restricted WBS Elements for which the faculty in their department are listed as Principal Investigator in IRIS. It is called “Restricted WBSE Fiscal Year Report” and is available as transaction ZFWBS011 located in the Sponsored Project Reporting folder on the IRIS menu.

A department head may want to use the report to (1) monitor the level of F&A recoveries for the current fiscal year, (2) monitor the sponsored project activity of faculty members in the department who may run their projects through a different funds center.

In order to get a complete list of all restricted WBS Elements that a Department Head would like to monitor, the list of WBS Elements is obtained 2 different ways. (1) All of a faculty member’s restricted WBS Elements are listed, even those that are assigned to another funds center. For example, if some of a faculty member’s projects are run through a research center or another department, these will show up on this report. (2) All of the projects running through the Department Head’s funds center are listed, even if the faculty member is not administratively responsible to him. For example, a faculty member is administratively responsible to an administrative unit, but runs his projects through an academic department. These projects will show up on the academic department head’s report.

A summary at the bottom of the report shows subtotals of the financial activity produced by the faculty members divided by the funds centers to which the restricted WBS Elements are assigned.

The report includes all types of restricted WBS Elements including gifts and sponsored projects and divides the fiscal year activity into direct costs and F&A costs.

Travel Enhancements (8/22/05)

This document provides a description of enhancements that have been made since the initial roll-out of the IRIS travel system.  These enhancements are based upon feedback the project team has received from users located throughout the University.

New Personnel Action to Support Pending Employees (6/02/05)
The IRIS system has been enhanced to allow departments to recognize new employees well in advance of the actual hire date. A department may now use the Record a Pending Employee  form to initiate the process for entering into IRIS a person who has accepted a position with the University with a hire date in the future (i.e., faculty or administrators hired 1 to 6 months before the actual start date).   The purpose of the Pending Employee is to allow a NetID to be assigned (or reactivated) for the employee.   Assignment of a NetID allows the person to have e-mail and access to other services much sooner than in the past.  MORE

That group has now completed their work and the new functionality for reimbursement of travel-related expenses has been incorporated into the IRIS system.

A pilot program for the new process has been in place for several weeks with participation from selected areas of all campuses and entities. The pilot is proving to be very successful and the new process will be phased in for all travelers beginning June 1, 2005.

Training classes have been developed and are available to IRIS users and other interested employees. A schedule of training classes will be announced.

Workflow Enhanced to Support Request for Access and Approval Rights in IRIS
With the implementation of IRIS and electronic workflow, there has been an increasing need to identify both department heads and individuals who are charged with the responsibility of approving electronic documents.

IRIS approvers have been in place since April 2001 and over the past several weeks there has been an ongoing effort to collect the name of the department head for each fund center. That information has now been collected and updated in IRIS. IRIS transaction FMSC can be used to identify the department head for each fund center.

Workflow has been enhanced to provide routing to the specified department head of a funds center when the normal workflow routing, which can include delegated departmental approvers, is not sufficient.

The first application to make use of the enhanced workflow is the user request e-form. To obtain departmental approval of a request, the form will be electronically routed through workflow to the department head of the fund center. If the department head listed on the funds center is not an active IRIS user, the IRIS workflow process will send the request to the next highest level(s) for that funds center (college, vice-chancellor, or campus-level) until an active IRIS user is found. If no department head of these various levels are IRIS users, the campus/unit Business Officer will approve the request.

If you have questions or encounter any problems with the workflow process, please contact irishelpdesk@tennessee.edu.

Increase in Travel Reimbursement Rates, Effective November 1, 2004
The maximum reimbursement rates for lodging and meals for travel within the State of Tennessee will increase effective November 1, 2004. The reimbursement rate for lodging for Level I will increase from $70.00 to $75.00 per night. Lodging rates for Level II increases from $60.00 to $65.00 per night. The maximum per diem for meals in Tennessee increases from $34.00 to $38.00 per day. There are no increases in the out-of-state rates.  See complete rate schedule.

Authorization to Access IRIS
A new electronic form (e-form) ZSEDEPTAUTH000 is available for requesting authorization to access IRIS. This transaction is available on the IRIS Easy Access menu with the following menu path: IRIS User Tools >>User Access.  The completed request is routed through the normal IRIS workflow process for approval and notifications are sent back to the user once the request has been processed.

Instructional videos, using JAVA applet, are available at http://rwd.tennessee.edu/nav/security/index.htm.

If you have questions on IRIS access, please contact your campus user coordinator. If you experience technical difficulties with the user request form or accessing the video, please contact the IRIS Help Desk at irishelpdesk@tennessee.edu.

Additional Pay Request
The certification statement was changed to allow for the fact that the employee performed the duties either while on annual leave during normal working hours or outside of their normal working hours.  Previously, the statement only indicated that the hours worked were performed outside of the employee's normal working time.

On the screen that displays HR master data, the block for workflow notes has been removed.  Update was not allowed here so it was removed to reduce confusion.

All e-Forms
The word ‘Current’ was added to the label on the header information to clarify that the values for the employee are as of the current date, not the transaction effective date.

Use of Electronic and Paper HR Forms
In July 2003, several transactions were made available within IRIS for departments to submit employee data changes electronically through workflow rather than paper documents.
