Keep in Mind

· Organization assignments include the assignment of an UChicago HRMS Department number, Affiliated Organization (if applicable), and a default FAS Account and FAS Sub Account (soon to be known as COA/POETAF).

     · IMPORTANT: Do not assign ledger 5 or ledger 6 accounts as default accounts.  These are grant and gift accounts that should never be used as default accounts.

· This task will appear in the Create Position, Edit Position Restrictions, Hire, Change Job, Add Job, and Move Workers (Supervisory) business processes. It can also be initiated as a stand-alone process.

· If needed, the chosen FAS Account and FAS Sub Account for the position can be overridden at both the Worker and Position levels using the Assign Costing Allocations business process. Refer to the Assigning Costing Allocations in Workday Knowledge Base Article for details on this task.

· The information required to complete the process in Workday is:

· UChicago HRMS Department number.

· FAS Account and FAS Sub Account numbers that will be used as the default level of funding for the position. These cannot be ledger 5 or ledger 6 accounts.

· The name of the Affiliated Organization for employees and contingent workers who are affiliated with an established external organization (i.e., Argonne, Fermi Lab, Marine Biological Lab, etc.).
