Decision on new meeting schedule:  Propose meeting each week for 1 hour.  The team as a whole agreed to meeting every week.  We will meet on the already scheduled Wednesdays for 90 min and the Wednesdays in between will be for 60 min starting at 10am.  The regular meetings will be for decision-making and PS training and the 60 minute meeting will be a working session where we focus on getting the system set-up.

Setup of Grants:

 

Continue working the Grants Training Workbook to test the completeness of Grants Single Version Setup.

During the set-up on Titanic, it was decided to set all of the control tables to UOD01 and use our first working meeting next Wednesday to start entering UD data.  We are hoping to eliminate some of the roadblocks we are hitting by using combos of UNIV, UOD01 and MODEL. We will work as one large team or pairs to do the data entry.  It is anticipated that we will enter 10-15 items in each table, but also cross-reference PeopleBooks to make sure we enter required data that is currently in UNIV.

 

Assignments for next meeting:  

1.       Mapping UD data assignment

2.       Carol will extract the department location addresses out of HR and print them so we can get them into PS Financials.

3.       Becky will do print screens of what’s currently in UNIV to help facilitate data entry into UOD01.

 

Issues:

1.       Gerri noted that PS is not rounding numbers and stated that the Fed forms require whole numbers.

2.
