HCP Data in the FY16 Forecast

Employee and Position data in the FY16 Forecast has been copied directly from the FY16 Operating Budget. Data was not refreshed from the source system. We anticipate refreshing from HCM in the winter.

What is an HCP data refresh?

An HCP data refresh is the process of updating HCP with new Employee and Position data from the source system, HCM. The result is fresh employee and position data for the fiscal year.

Recommendation:

Since HCP data is refreshed in the winter, we recommend only making changes if needed for Q1 forecast reporting. Consider that any changes made to individual Employees and Positions during this period may be overwritten by the HCM data load in the winter.

What are the Composite Benefits Rates (CBR) in the FY16 Forecast?

The Fringe Accounts and CBR reflected in the FY16 Forecast were copied from the FY16 Operating Budget. These rates reflect the planned rates published on theSpace and Capital Resources website(link is external).
