Section 21 Miscellaneous Enhancements - FunctionalNHRDIST Report Layout in E~PrintNHRDIST Report Layout in E~PrintThe NHRDIST Report has been changed slightly in order to make it work correctlywith e~Print’s page level security. Previously, a colon after the Organization string ona continuing page was missing, causing e~Print not being able to find the string toapply security. Now the colon has been supplied as well as six characters so that theorganization code can be found in a standard place.The way in which this report is constructed, e~Print must scan the header for a stringvalue and extract the next 6 digits that occur after that string. For this report e~Printis scanning for 'Organization: ' For example, if the report has the two digitorganization code '10' it prints as '10 Off'. Since '10 Off' is not a valid organizationcode this page will not open for a user who has access to organization 10. Theshorter the Organization code the higher the organization is in the hierarchy. Thismeans that the person with access to the Office of the President will not be able toaccess this page.The report has been changed to include a ":" (colon) after Organization on thesecond and subsequent pages as well as moving the organization description 10characters to the right of the code so as to enforce page security in e~Print.This completes RPE #32242. Resolved in Human Resources Release 6.1.Encumbrance RecastingThe purpose of this enhancement is to enable another way to manageencumbrances throughout the fiscal year. In the past, encumbrances could begenerated through job assignments and the processing of the Budget MaintenanceProcess (NBPBUDM). However, these encumbrances could only be reducedthrough the payroll process and the reduction would be associated with actualpayment, not the planned encumbered amount.The Recast Method now allows the system to calculate encumbrance reductionsbased upon a date submitted to NBPBUDM, rather than having each payrollliquidate each encumbrance based upon the amount paid to the employee. Theresulting encumbrance calculations will be posted to the employee's LaborDistribution History record that is associated with the affected job. This dollaramount, which is inserted into the To Be Posted field, would typically be a negativeencumbrance adjustment, as it is computed against the original, or current jobencumbrance.Human Resources/Position Control Release 7.0 January 2005264 Release Guide Confidential
