February 22, 2018

CalPlanning Community,

The FY2018-19 Operating Budget is now open in CalPlanning. Please read below for information about tool enhancements and budget process planning.

Actualized compensation data and simplified HCP now available

We’re excited to announce that CalPlanning is now open with the following updates:

  • FY2017-18 Forecast Working is available with all closed months overwritten with actual data for all accounts, including compensation!

  • FY2018-19 Operating Budget Initial and Working versions are now available; Working version is open for edits.

  • Both the FY2017-18 Forecast and the FY2018-19 Operating Budget in HCP are refreshed with the latest employee data from HCM.

  • HCP now displays employee and pooled position plan data by month for easier editing and review. This means there will be less right-clicking.

  • All plan data is now moved to the five high-level fund buckets. This means Planners only have access to plan to the five funds in CalPlan and HCP.

  • The read-only FY2017-18 Forecast Q2 Submission is now available in CalRptg.

Please take advantage of these opportunities to learn more:
