CalPlanning Community,
We’re excited to announce that the next phase of the Actualized Forecast & Simplified HCP project will go live in February. As part of this release, FY2017-18 Forecast Working will be available with: actualized compensation data (non-compensation data has already been actualized); consolidated fund buckets; and simplified HCP. As in prior years, we’ll also be opening the FY2018-19 Operating Budget Working and refreshing HCP employee data from HCM. In order to make these changes, CalPlanning will be closed for edits from Wednesday, February 7 to Wednesday, February 21.
CalPlan and HCP unavailable 2/1 - 2/2
Please note the CalPlan and HCP planning tools will be unavailable Thursday, February 1 and Friday, February 2 while the Financial Planning & Analysis team reviews and adjusts the Q2 Flash Forecast.
What is new
-
Compensation data will be actualized for all closed months.
-
Process for updating salary, adding an employee, and planning for DeptID adjustments will be streamlined.
-
Effective Start and End dates will be removed from HCP, allowing for compensation planning by month.
-
Position data will be removed from HCP and replaced with job code data.
-
All compensation data will be converted to the five high-level fund buckets (unrestricted, designated, restricted gift, restricted endowments and FFE’s, contracts and grants). All lower-level fund buckets will be removed from CalPlan and HCP.
