July 2022

When modifying May – August SPARs from July 1 until November 30, the following pop-up box will appear when you click the Save button. This alert is to remind you that entity 02 lines on this SPAR with May and/or June dates will be subject to fiscal year end cut off rules:

  • Charges to an entity 02 or 03 account will appear in the new fiscal year (FY23).
  • Credits to an entity 02 or 03 account will default to a General University account.

During the announced SPAR closure periods, which are posted on the FCR website and in each Effortless Facts calendar, please be sure to save and close any SPAR you are modifying and completely log out of PRISM by 5pm prior to the SPAR closure period. This will prevent issues with the payroll processing that occurs during the closure period.

PAR tasks and Effort Statements On Hold in ECC should be processed/removed in a timely manner. Delays in clearing these items reduce the PI’s timeline to certify the statement.

*When removing a hold initiated by another administrator, as a professional courtesy, consult with the person who placed the hold prior to removing it as there may be a reason to continue the hold.
