   • Select the Company: ÇéÉ«ÎåÔÂÌì, Reno
   • Select the Period
   • In the Award field, enter the award number (report will role up all award lines), OR in the Worktag field, enter the grant number (report of just one award line)

The conversion of life to date expenditures (LTD) from the legacy system to Workday put some LTD expenditures in the incorrect spend categories. Sponsored Projects is currently working with NSHE to get this corrected.

Described below is how the F&A distribution will work moving forward:

1. In Workday, the F&A is distributed only to the dean's office. This means that the PI percentage and the department percentage will be distributed to the dean's office along with the dean's office percentage. Therefore, a total of 23.25% of F&A collected in a month will be distributed to the dean's office.
2. Sponsored Projects is working on writing a program that will track the percentage of F&A to be distributed to each PI, department and college. As previously done, this distribution will be obtained from the information provided on the proposal Transmittal form (SP-1).
3. A monthly report will be generated based upon this information, and a journal will be prepared and forwarded to the dean's office for approval. Once the dean's office has approved, they will forward the journal to the Controller's office, and the distribution of F&A to the departments and PIs will occur.

Note: Distribution of F&A cannot be completed until the Controller's office has closed the month.

In short, failure to use the corresponding Detail Code (DC030 Capital/Equipment > $5,000) will cause the equipment expense to get charged F&A. Be sure to consult the full list of Detail Codes in .

First, you need to know the subaward worktag or GR number. If you don't know the GR number, look up the award (AWD number). On the Award View screen, click Award Lines and locate the subaward GR number.

Now, run the My Award Budget to Actuals by Ledger Account query using the subaward GR number in the Worktags field. 

The resulting query will be the subaward budget.

Yes! is a great resource to look up all sorts of Workday information such as Grants, Spend Categories, Detail Codes and a lot more.

On an award, cost share is set up as its own Award line with a unique Grant worktag number (GRXXXXX). Note: If cost share is in the form of unrecovered F&A or if the cost share is provided by a 3rd party, there will not be a cost share Award line or Grant worktag.

To see if a cost share award line has been established for your award look up the award in Workday by entering the award number in the Workday search bar and clicking the magnifying glass icon.

Click on the award number when it appears on your screen.

On the View Award screen, scroll down to the Award Line Summary, and you will be able to see you grant worktag for the primary award, which is the worktag you should be spending from. If a cost share line is established for the award it will be labeled, "name of award - CShare." This is your cost share Grant worktag.

If you do not see a cost share Grant worktag set up for your award, contact your Sponsored Projects Grants & Contracts Officer to have this award line established.

When salaries will be used as cost share, the portion of the employee's salary to be cost shared should be directly charged to the cost share Grant worktag through payroll by including the worktag on the employee's costing allocation (PAF). The cost share Grant worktag will then appear in the employee's effort report, and the cost shared effort can be certified and reported to the sponsor.

If cost shared effort was not directly charged to the cost share Grant worktag through payroll, the Effort Certification Reviewer will need to add the worktag to the effort report and then do a Payroll Allocation Adjustment to move the cost shared effort to the correct worktag.

To do this, click on the Change Effort button on the effort report, add the cost share Grant worktag, enter the change reason, "Cost Share Adjustment," enter the percentage of effort that needs to be recorded as cost share, click the OK button, click on the Questions tab on the summary page and answer questions 1 & 2 and any other relevant questions, then click Submit.

Here's what to enter in each of the fields:

Organization: Scroll down to Supervisory Organization (Sup Org) and click on it. Workday will display all the Sup Orgs for which you are an Effort Certification Reviewer.

If you are running the Effort Certification Status Report for one employee or select group of employees, only click the Sup Orgs that the employees are in. Otherwise, click all your Sup Orgs.

Effort Certification Date From and Effort Certification Date To: Enter the dates of the effort report you are interested in.

Effort Certification Type: Click Quarterly/Semi-Annual for 6-month reports. Click Off Contract for Overload reports.

Employee: If you are running the report for one employee or a select group of employees, enter their names in the Employee field. If you are running the report for all employees for whom you are an ECR, leave this field blank.

Things you can do with this report:

1. Check the status of each report and see where it is in the routing. In this example, the first effort report is for Anna Bateman. You can see that it is In Progress and is in Anna Bateman's inbox. You might want to contact Anna and ask her to review and certify her report. The second report is for Jason Davison. You can see that his original effort report was Cancelled. Probably in order to enter a Payroll Accounting Adjustment. The ECR asked to have the report regenerated, and now it is In Progress again. It is in the ECR's inbox for review. Linda Brown certified her report already, so it is not in anyone's inbox.
2. Look at the effort report, in a view that is exportable to Excel. This can be helpful when you are preparing to enter a Payroll Accounting Adjustment. Click on the effort report in the first column. It will open in the Summary View. You can click on Details to see each month's pay. Process History will show you who has done what to the effort report.
3. Click on the employee's name in the second column of the report to get more information about the employee. This can be useful if you have an effort report for an employee who is unfamiliar to you.
