OSPS E-News ~ Reminder: New Manual Check Control

[Announcements from OSPS to the users of the Oregon State Payroll Application]

With February closing last night, we'd like to remind you about the new
manual check control with regard to flagging closed pay periods for
correction.  See the original e-news announcement, below, for more
detail.

As of today, 3/10/10, you must set a P190 corrective flag if you want to
make changes to February.  This will be the first major opportunity to
test the new control which debuted on March 1.  We are happy to report
that all requests received to date have passed this control, and we
expect most future requests will pass as well.

Thank you for your continued vigilance.  Please call us at (503)
378-6777 or e-mail us at OSPS.Help at das.state.or.us for assistance.  We
are happy to help you achieve success in your interaction with OSPA.

NEW CONTROL - DAILY MANUAL CHECKS 

CLOSED PERIOD REQUESTS SUBMITTED WITHOUT CORRECTIVE FLAG

If you set up your transactions accurately, this revision will never be
an issue for you. We are implementing this change on Monday, March 1,
2010. 

 

As a matter of appropriate accounting transactions, system entries must
be complete before you request issuance of payment from the joint
payroll account. This includes setting a corrective flag on the P190
screen for closed pay periods.

Effective March 1, 2010, check requests for closed pay periods with the
absence of a corrective flag, will fail to pass the manual check run
controls.  Once our batch has been completed, we will report failed
transactions back to the requesting agency.  

 

Providing our customers with daily manual checks is one of our most
important services.  Providing them on time and with 100% accuracy is
our service standard.  Transactions submitted with errors impact our
ability to deliver those results.
