Section 21 Miscellaneous Enhancements - FunctionalEncumbrance RecastingTo pass the encumbrance reductions to Finance, the Finance Extract Process(NHPFIN1) and the Finance Interface Report (NHPFIN2) have to be executed.Using the Recast Method, it is intended that the Expenditures Finance Extract(PHPFEXP) will no longer feed encumbrance adjustments, based upon the payrollexpense. It is important to note that an adjustment to the Finance Setup Rules(NTRFINI) must be done prior to feeding the first payroll. This will be discussed inthe setup information to follow. Otherwise, multiple encumbrance adjustmentswould be fed to Banner Finance which would overstate the liquidated encumbrance.Note: Only the System Calculated encumbrance method type of jobs willprocess under the Recast guidelines described here. The otherencumbrance methods: Value Input, Annual Salary, and Hours Input willprocess as they have in the past. These encumbrance controls are initiallyestablished on the Employee Class rules (PTRECLS), which are thenassociated with the employee's job assignment.Enabling the Encumbrance Recasting IndicatorThe first step to establishing Encumbrance Recast is to activate the system setting onthe Position Control Installation Rules (NTRINST).
