UCPath GL & SCT Redesign

About: The goal of the UCPath GL Redesign is to reduce the complexity of UCPath and to leverage the applicable tools to generate more consistent and accurate GL data. Employees should expect smaller projects that fall under the larger UCPath GL Redesign initiative.

Top Deliverables:

• Deliver long-term strategy & implementation plan to reduce UCPath complexities & leverage other applicable tools
• Engage the Controller Strategic Committee throughout the various project phases to:
  • Understand GL current state challenges
  • Develop solution approach
  • Align on go-forward implementation plan
• Redefine what UCPath is the system of record for
• Scale back on UCPath customizations in order to serve as an HR/Payroll system and not a Financials system
• Explore solutions of managing certain GL functions outside of UCPath
• Locations will receive data in labor ledger quicker

The goal of the UCPath SCT Redesign is to build a new Salary Cost Transfer Tool that meets business requirements and reduces current complexity when performing SCT-related entry (Direct Retro) and processing.

This project will:

• Create a custom Salary Cost Transfer Tool in UCPath that utilizes the Labor Ledger data directly
• Develop a modular design framework that separates required SCT functionality into smaller, more manageable components integrated together into a single solution
• Generate GL payroll accounting transactions
  • Provide summary and detail labor ledger results generated from a single source
  • Maintain ability to support multiple ledgers and COAs
• Generate Assessments
  • Calculate Assessments and CBR after summary and detail labor ledger results are generated
  • Separate assessments (GAEL, VLA, CBR, etc.) into individual programs
• Transfer Costs
  • Transfer costs based on a complete transaction (transaction includes assessment data)
    • Acts like a GL journal entry process
    • Reduce the amount of "re-calculation"
• Generate Effort Information
  • Generate effort information after monthly SCTs are completed, results are finalized
  • Reduce reliance on UCPath data that is always changing
