Key Deadlines for PPS Retirement

BFS Community,

As the Controller's Office has communicated previously(link is external), the Payroll and Personnel System (PPS) is being retired because of the implementation of UCPath. The key deadlines to be aware of before the September PPS retirement are listed below. 

Any final chartstring corrections for payroll processed in PPS will need to be completed in PPS before it retires. After Thursday, September 26, 2019, PPS will transition to "view only" access and it will no longer be possible to make updates. Access to the BFS suspense module will also end on September 26. If there are invalid transactions as a result of the Payroll Expense Transfers (PETs) processed in September, the Controller's Office will correct them in the following month.

To ensure timely processing prior to the PPS retirement, final pre-UCPath position funding corrections (PETs) with effective dates prior to 2/28 (MO) and 3/9 (BW) should be submitted to Berkeley Regional Services (BRS) via a ServiceNow Funding Change(link is external) request (and endorsed by the appropriate Department Approvers) by Thursday, August 15, 2019. 

The deadline to submit late payroll cost transfer requests(link is external) to Contracts and Grants Accounting (CGA) is Monday, August 26, to allow sufficient time for review and processing before the September 26 deadline.

Thank you,
