Update Postings For New Year

The Update Postings For New Year option is to be used during your organization's fiscal year end procedures. For job postings with a status of New, Request, or Posted, this option will:

  • Update the Fiscal Year field on job postings from the prior fiscal year to the new fiscal year.

  • Update any job postings originally entered for the new fiscal year to be classified as current fiscal year.

  • Update the Available FTE and Posting FTE fields for Position Control records if your organization does not use Post to Position Control in Personnel Budgeting.

  • Update budget distributions on the job postings where the organization (budget unit) has changed in the new fiscal year.

Menu Path:  Human Resources > Entry & Processing > Recruitment > Update Postings For New Year

Prerequisites

The following must be completed prior to running any of the options of the Update Postings For New Year page:

  1. In Human Resources, update your job classes for the new fiscal year.

  2. In Personnel Budgeting, run the Post to Position Control option.

  3. In Fund Accounting, update the Prior Year Organization field of the Organization Chart for any key organization that is new in the new fiscal year and was different in the prior fiscal year. This may have already been completed in Budget Preparation prior to creating your new year ledgers. Texas customers also need to make sure their Crosswalk is complete.

  4. Complete your Fund Accounting Year End processing.

In addition to the prerequisites, users who do not have full security views for ORGN, ACCT, and PROJ will not be able to select Update Budget Distribution on Open Postings for New Year in the Update Posting For New Year page. However, they will still be able to select the page's other processing options.

Important
You are only required to run the update options your organization uses. These options are designed to run in the order in which they are displayed. If you are running the options individually, use them in the order listed. If you select all three options at the same time, they will run in the required order.

Running reports only

The following procedure enables you to run a report for each of the three update options individually, so that you can make any necessary corrections as you go.

  1. Select Human Resources > Entry & Processing > Recruitment > Update Postings For New Year to display the Update Postings for New Year page.

  20. Verify the data on the report is accurate. Make any necessary corrections.

  21. Leave the Report Only field selected and re-run any reports as needed. These reports can be run as often as needed until you are satisfied with the data.

Updating postings for the new year

In the following procedure, you will be running each of the three update options individually. The procedure assumes that you ran the report procedure first, and therefore, it does not include steps for verifying and correcting date after generating each report. If your organization does not use an option, then skip the related steps.

As an alternative to this procedure, you can select all of the appropriate checkboxes at one time (except Report Only) and thereby run the updates and their reports in a single pass. The end result will be the same.

  1. Select Human Resources > Entry & Processing > Recruitment > Update Postings For New Year to display the Update Postings for New Year page.

  2. Clear the Report Only field.

  3. Select the Update Fiscal Year checkbox on open postings for prior fiscal year with a closing date on or after.
