9. Data in SPC Data is only updated every two weeks Generally you’ll see it on the Tuesday after payday (same as now) Reminder- PCD report in HRMS is updated every night for retro distributions so the two reports may be out of sync

10. Pay Period Ranges Reports can be run for: One pay period A range of pay periods during the fiscal year A range of pay periods crossing fiscal years An exact fiscal year (7/1-6/30)

11. Pay Period Ranges Year to date balances do not automatically appear on the report for the current pay period- you must run a separate report for the YTD balances When running YTD inquires you should narrow your scope to one department or project since it takes a while to run

12. Posted vs. Affected Posted- the period that the charges are entered in the General Ledger Affected- the period when the charges are incurred The two are different for retroactive distributions only Current charges: Affected = Posted Retro charges: Affected < Posted
