Local Testing Technical Introduction Global T&EDatafeeds Conversion Testing Technical Migration Implementation Technical Deployment Overview Conversion Development Interface Testing Break-out Discussion Groups Next Steps GS/LIS Technical Workshop Where We Are, Where We’re Going…

Technical Workshop 3 Learning Objectives  Identify the scope of interfaces  Identify GF interface requirements  Describe GF interface processing  Locate and apply sources for interface design documentation  Complete a local practice interface usage profile  Update system diagram  Identify the scope of interfaces  Identify GF interface requirements  Describe GF interface processing  Locate and apply sources for interface design documentation  Complete a local practice interface usage profile  Update system diagram

Technical Workshop 4 Overview of Interfaces

Technical Workshop 5 Datafeeds vs. Interfaces Datafeeds are not the same as Interfaces  Interfaces  Used by Local Systems for Validations  Have Business Rules built into them  Have Critical Interdependencies between them  Are about the Present and Future  Code block is not shifted  Datafeeds  Designed primarily to support out of scope downstream applications  Code block is shifted on data sourced from Engagement Reporting and Datamart  On cycle close, data is as of the cycle close until the batch process is complete Datafeeds are not the same as Interfaces  Interfaces  Used by Local Systems for Validations  Have Business Rules built into them  Have Critical Interdependencies between them  Are about the Present and Future  Code block is not shifted  Datafeeds  Designed primarily to support out of scope downstream applications  Code block is shifted on data sourced from Engagement Reporting and Datamart  On cycle close, data is as of the cycle close until the batch process is complete

Technical Workshop 9 Global HR Repository Interface Topics  Overview of Global HR Repository  Glossary of terms  Business design requirements  Interface transmissions  GHR interface files  Overview of Global HR Repository  Glossary of terms  Business design requirements  Interface transmissions  GHR interface files

Technical Workshop 10 Overview – Global HR Repository

Technical Workshop 11 Overview – Global HR Repository  Employee HR data is needed in GF to:  Provide information needed for financial calculations in EMS  Validate time submissions  Support expense reimbursements  Provide standard hours to support revenue calculations and utilization reporting  Employee HR data is needed in GF to:  Provide information needed for financial calculations in EMS  Validate time submissions  Support expense reimbursements  Provide standard hours to support revenue calculations and utilization reporting

Technical Workshop 12 Glossary of Terms  Local Personnel Number (LN)  Assigned by the member firm  Unique within the member firm  May be used to build GN Global HR Repository sends this ID back along with GN and GUI to each managerial country.  Local Personnel Number (LN)  Assigned by the member firm  Unique within the member firm  May be used to build GN Global HR Repository sends this ID back along with GN and GUI to each managerial country.

Technical Workshop 13 Glossary of Terms  Global Unique Identifier (GUI)  Unique global identifier that will follow the person across all managerial countries  Each managerial country will be given a range of numbers for assigning GUI  Managerial country must verify existence of GUI for personnel hired from other E&Y firms to ensure uniqueness  Global Unique Identifier (GUI)  Unique global identifier that will follow the person across all managerial countries  Each managerial country will be given a range of numbers for assigning GUI  Managerial country must verify existence of GUI for personnel hired from other E&Y firms to ensure uniqueness

Technical Workshop 14 Glossary of Terms  GLL Summary:  GLL Summary: Local country systems Local country systems, GHR Local countryLPN GHRGHR, GFLocal countryGUI GFGHR, GFGHRGN Used as unique identifier in Used inGenerated byIdentifier

Technical Workshop 15 Business Design Requirements  The local systems will send XML files containing required and optional data elements for GF, Global Directory, and Global HR.  All inbound files are to conform to GIS standards.  The local systems will send XML files containing required and optional data elements for GF, Global Directory, and Global HR.  All inbound files are to conform to GIS standards.

Technical Workshop 16 GHR Interface Summary  Global HR Repository:  Stores employee data for all member firms  Is the main source of HR data for global applications  Uses the employee identifiers GPN, LPN, and GUI  Employee HR data is needed in GF to:  Provide information needed for financial calculations in EMS  Validate time submissions  Support expense reimbursements  Provide standard hours to support revenue calculations and utilization reporting  Global HR Repository:  Stores employee data for all member firms  Is the main source of HR data for global applications  Uses the employee identifiers GPN, LPN, and GUI  Employee HR data is needed in GF to:  Provide information needed for financial calculations in EMS  Validate time submissions  Support expense reimbursements  Provide standard hours to support revenue calculations and utilization reporting

Technical Workshop 19 Global HR Repository Dependencies  Initial steps during GF technical migration:  Local practice has fully integrated GHR and has been receiving employee crosswalk files  Local practice configuration and conversion data resides in GF  Local practice receives Orgs to Local interface  Local practice locally assigns employees to valid orgs  GHR sets local practice to “In GF”  Local practice submits new employee org assignments to GHR  GHR communicates employee org info to GF  Initial steps during GF technical migration:  Local practice has fully integrated GHR and has been receiving employee crosswalk files  Local practice configuration and conversion data resides in GF  Local practice receives Orgs to Local interface  Local practice locally assigns employees to valid orgs  GHR sets local practice to “In GF”  Local practice submits new employee org assignments to GHR  GHR communicates employee org info to GF

Technical Workshop 20 Orgs to Local Systems Business Purpose – Components  Fourteen files are created by the Orgs to Local Process:  Industry File  Org Crosswalk File  Translate Values File  Reporting Attributes File  Source to Account  Service Codes  VAT Codes  Closed BU File  Ranks File  Orgs File  Countries File  States File  Currencies File  Calendar File  Closed BU File  Ranks File  Orgs File  Countries File  States File  Currencies File  Calendar File
