June 28, 2024 Lapsing Chartfield Strings in PayServ
Agency Actions:
Agencies will have to ensure that any position pools that appear on the spreadsheet are updated with valid chartfield strings. If an agency does not believe that the chartfield string associated with the position pool is lapsing they will need to contact their Appropriation Section Representative in OSC’s Bureau of State Accounting Operations to have this information corrected in SFS so PayServ can receive the valid string detail.
Any changes needed in SFS will need to be completed before June 20, 2024 in order for them to be used in PayServ for the Administration check dated July 3, 2024.
If the chartfield string is lapsing on 6/28/2024, agencies will need to insert a new row into the Department Budget Table USA (refer to Job Aid for instructions) in PayServ related to that position pool with a valid chartfield string effective the beginning of the pay period for the check dates listed above. Examples of these dates are as follows:
| Inst | 7/11/2024 | Admin | 7/03/2024 | |
| Cycle | Beg Date | Cycle | Beg Date | |
| Current | 06/27/2024 | Current | 06/20/2024 | |
| Lag | 06/13/2024 | Lag | 06/06/2024 | |
| X-Lag | 06/06/2024 | X-Lag | 05/30/2024 |
These updates must be completed in PayServ before June 20th for the Administration check dated 7/3/2024 and the Institution check dated 7/11/2024 to ensure that the Payroll files can be successfully processed in SFS.
