Data element Definition
APRIL_DISTRIBUTION_AMOUNT

AUGUST_DISTRIBUTION_AMOUNT

Indexed - no
Format - number (9,2)
May be null? no

Total salary payments and adjustments for the month of August.

BUDGET_DIST_SEQUENCE_NUMBER

Indexed - yes
Format - number (9,0)
May be null? no

Uniquely identifies a record in the BUDGET_DISTRIBUTION table. Rather than Social Security Number or other key data, a sequence number is used because there are "open positions" in the Pillar data that have been assigned to dummy Social Security Numbers. It is not possible to guarantee uniqueness without using a sequence number. The sequence number is generated by SQL*Loader.

DECEMBER_DISTRIBUTION_AMOUNT

List of values not available.

DISTRIBUTION_ACCOUNT

Indexed - yes
Format - char (9)
May be null? yes

For fiscal year 1998 and earlier, the 9-digit account number (from the financial system used before July 1, 1996) indicating the source of this Budget_Distribution for the employee. The first digit indicates the ledger. Digits 1-6 are the account number. Digits 7-9 are the subcode. Use of 9-digit account numbers was phased out at the end of June 1998, when the Payroll system became fully compliant with the present General Legder account numbers. This column should be null for all records from fiscal year 1999 onward; in these records refer to Distribution_COA_Account to determine the source of the budget distribution for the employee.

Note: the BUDGET_DISTRIBUTION table was last loaded with fiscal year 1997 data.


Values:

List of values not available.

DISTRIBUTION_COA_ACCOUNT

Indexed - yes
Format - char (26)
May be null? yes

The 26-digit account number from the present General Ledger accounting structure (in use at Penn since July 1, 1996) indicating the source of this payroll distribution for the employee. The Payroll system was rewritten to accept that 26-digit account code combination in place of legacy 9-digit account numbers for fiscal year 1999. Effective June 28, 1998, all Payroll transansactions that require an account are completed using the 26-digit account code combination. For records prior to fiscal year 1999, this data element contains the account number that was returned by the GL mapper utility, given the Distribution Account. In cases where the subcode portion of the Distribution_Account could not be translated to an Object code, OBJT was used as the Object code.

Example: 01111011000000OBJT00000000, where OBJT indicates that there was not an object code mapping for the requested subcode portion of the 9-digit Distribution_Account.

The Distribution_COA_Account consists of seven segments: Distribution_COA_CNAC, Distribution_COA_Org, Distribution_COA_BC, Distribution_COA_Fund, Distribution_COA_Object, Distribution_COA_Program, Distribution_COA_Center_Ref.

See also the definitions Distribution_COA_CNAC, Distribution_COA_Org, Distribution_COA_BC, Distribution_COA_Fund, Distribution_COA_Object, Distribution_COA_Program, and Distribution_COA_Center_Ref.

(The code set is from the University's General Ledger, and has been in use since July 1, 1996.)

May be null? yes

The 2-digit Payroll code used to identify the school or center that owns the employee's record and is responsible for its maintenance. Home_School codes in the Personnel/Payroll and related systems were converted to Home_School_Ctr codes on July 16, 1999.

JOB_CLASS

Indexed - yes
Format - char (6)
May be null? no

The 6-digit code indicating the job to which the distribution applies. Key to the job classification table where the job attributes are listed. To find the Job_Title associated with the Job_Class, join to the JOB_CLASS or JOB_CLASS_GENERAL tables using the Job_Class column. (The results of this join may be questionable for employee records when the Termination_Date falls before April 8, 1998.) As a result of the University's Classification Redesign Project, a new job classification system for staff positions was developed in 1998. Job classes in the online Payroll system and the Data Warehouse were converted to this new system over April 8 - 9, 1998. For jobs that were reclassified, records before this date will contain the old class, and records after this date will reflect the new scheme. Some classes were reused, however, and JOB_CLASS_GENERAL contains only job titles now associated with those classes. Faculty classes were unaffected by this conversion. (In general, faculty job classes begin with '2'.)

Example: 226010 (Associate Professor C-E)

Note: the BUDGET_DISTRIBUTION table was last loaded with fiscal year 1997 data.


Values:

Refer to the JOB_CLASS table for values.
