Running the Direct Retro Funding Distribution Audit Report in HRS

Overview

You can run a report by campus Division or Department to list employees who had salary expenses corrected by a Direct Retro Funding Distribution process for a previous payroll. Funding for an employee's salary expense includes earnings, deductions, and taxes.

Direct Retro Funding Distributions, also called "Direct Retros," are processed during batch processing each weekday evening, except for the weekday after a payroll has been confirmed and the last weekday of the month. You can run the Retro Distribution Audit report by the various process states of: Complete, Delete, Editing, Initiated. When the status of the Direct Retro is Complete, you can view the old data and new data of employees' funding combination codes for earnings, deductions, and taxes.

  • HRS Security Role Needed: FI Campus User Funding Reports; also see Funding and Direct Retro Security by Campus in HRS
