The UCPath Center announced a new go-live date of November 19, 2023, for the redesigned salary cost transfer (SCT) process. In December, the UCPath Center announced they were reevaluating the March 2023 go-live date for the SCT Redesign project and that the system integration phase of the project would be extended. With the additional time, the UCPath Center completed a focused analysis to understand inconsistencies in percent of effort calculations across UCPath pages and processes. These inconsistencies require manual reconciliation by users in order to tie Distribution of Payroll Expense (DPE) data to UCPath Funding Entry and Salary Cost Transfer pages. A separate but integral initiative has started to establish a consistent effort calculation methodology across UCPath components.
In order to undertake this additional initiative, the SCT Redesign go-live date was postponed. The UCPath Center sought feedback from all locations on proposed timing to go-live in late July or November. The UCSF project team, with input from the UCPath Customer Advisory Board, provided feedback that a July go-live would be a hardship for our finance community and supported a fall implementation.
In July, UCSF’s project team will begin user acceptance testing, which will include testing activities by campus department transactors nominated by our UCPath Customer Advisory Board. Look for future updates, including training resources, to be announced this summer.
