Recent and Future HR/Compensation Transactions: This section displays recently entered transactions which have occurred in HRS to the selected employee’s job record and are relevant to the compensation process. This section is not editable, and will also automatically update when the HRS feed is on. Compensation and Funding Data Compensation Change: This section allows the user of CAT to administer compensation increases either manually or through the mass IPS upload process. Funding Change: This section allows the user of CAT to administer funding changes either manually or through the mass IPS upload process. Search Page/Add a Value Navigate to the CAT Page Log in to HRS and navigate to Workforce Administration > UW External HR Systems > Compensation Admin Tool > CAT Page (Shown in the image below). Search for records already present in the CAT or Add a new record. To search for records already present in the CAT make sure “Find an Existing Value” is selected. Enter desired search criteria, such as Fiscal Year and Empl ID. Leaving a field blank in the Search Criteria will return all possible values for that field in the search. A search using only one data field should show all records from the CAT that match the selected criterion. A search using a combination of these fields should return the relevant records from the CAT for those criteria. Select the Hourglass located at the end of each field selection tab to display all possible input values for the corresponding field. For example, the hourglass next to Business Unit will return a clickable list of all 16 Business Units. Select “Search” to return results. Search results will return one row for every funding string entered in the CAT. It will return a search results box if the criteria identifies multiple employee records. It will direct the user to the CAT page if the search criteria identifies one employee. To add a new record select “Add a New Value” found at the top of the page.
Information on the CAT error types can be found in the ‘CAT Page Error Descriptions and Messages Table’ at the end of this KB. There is a comments box at the bottom of the CAT Page that can be used to keep notes about the particular Employee Record. Comments made in the IPS will also be loaded into this box. It is best practice for users to enter their name, initials, or emplid after their comment followed by “///”. This will be useful for separating and organizing comments. Two examples can be seen below: Funding Edits The “Funding Edits Status” indicates whether a funding row has passed SFS edits. On a nightly basis a process will run that checks all funding rows with a status of “U” for validity against SFS chartfield and combination edits. The three Funding Edits Statuses are: U=Unverified All funding rows added during the IPS Upload process will be set to status of “U”. Funding rows with status of “U” will be tested nightly against SFS chartfield and combination edits. E=Error-Failed Edits Rows with status of “U” that fail the test against SFS chartfield and combination edits will be set to Funding Edits Status of “E”. P=Passed Edits Rows with status of “U” that pass the test against SFS chartfield and combination edits will be set to Funding Edits Status of “P”. When “save” is selected on the CAT Page funding rows that have been added will be tested against SFS chartfield and combination edits. In addition rows that already exist on the page with a status of “U” or “E” will be tested as well in case the error has been corrected. The Funding Edits Status, for all funding rows tested when the page is saved, will be updated to reflect any changes that have occurred. The CAT Page should be able to save with funding row errors, but the following fields should be highlighted in red for the funding row in error: GL Business Unit Fund DeptID Program Project
