edited an award document that does not actually require any changes.\u00a0 How do I cancel this version of the award document?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you edit an award document that does not require any changes, it is actually best NOT to cancel (by cancel we mean clicking on the Cancel button in the Award Actions tab) the award document.\u00a0 Cancelling an award in this fashion can cause incorrect data to display in the Business Warehouse.\u00a0 So if you edit an award that does not require any changes, it is best to leave the data as is, and Blanket Approve\/Finalize the version.\u00a0 Creating a new identical version of an award document does not cause any issues in KCRM, SAP or the Business Warehouse.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"9\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I cancel a Parent Award (Grant) or Child Award (Sponsored Program)?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To cancel a Parent Award (Grant), the Award Status field in the KCRM parent award document should be set to Cancelled.\u00a0 The Cancelled status should be used when a Parent has been created in error.\u00a0 If the Grant to be cancelled already exists in SAP, the award record must be interfaced to change the Grant status in SAP to Cancelled.<\/li>\n<li>To cancel a Child Award (Sponsored Program), the Award Status field in the KCRM child award document should be set to Cancelled.\u00a0 The Cancelled status should be used when a Parent or Child has been created in error.\u00a0 If funds have been obligated to the child, they should be deobligated (either moved out of the award altogether or moved to another child), and a budget version created to reduce the detailed budget correspondingly. If the sponsored program to be cancelled already exists in SAP, the award record must be interfaced to SAP. While there is no Cancelled status in SAP at the sponsored program level, interfacing a child with cancelled status will cause all the sponsored classes associated with that sponsored program to be turned off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"10\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Since we currently can\u2019t interface an existing grant to add a cost sharing sponsored program or increase\/decrease the budget on an existing cost sharing sponsored program, how do we handle these business scenarios?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Until further notice, the interface does not support adding a cost-sharing sponsored program to an existing grant or increasing\/decreasing the budget for an existing cost-sharing sponsored program in SAP.\u00a0 Therefore, the following workaround needs to be completed by OSP\/PAFO users:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If OSP has added cost sharing data to a parent award\/grant that does not already have a cost-sharing sponsored program associated with it, PAFO will not be able to successfully interface the record. OSP should enter the appropriate data into KCRM; however, before the record can be interfaced by PAFO, the dollar amount must be deleted from the Commitments tab.\u00a0 PAFO staff should be sure to make a note of the data before deleting it. PAFO staff should then Blanket Approve\/Finalize the Parent Award and interface the record. PAFO staff will thencreate the cost-share sponsored program manually in SAP.\u00a0 Printing the RFDF will provide PAFO with the required fields needed to create the CS1 account. After the cost-sharing sponsored program is created in SAP, PAFO staff should edit the parent award record again to enter the dollar amount and corresponding SAP sponsored program number on the Commitments tab.<\/li>\n<li>If OSP has increased or decreased the cost-sharing budget, the Commitments tab in KCRM should represent the resulting total amount of cost sharing. However, it will be important to also note the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">change amount<\/span> because PAFO will need the change amount to finish the process in SAP. PAFO can interface the award as usual, as the interface will always send only $0.00 TDC for cost-sharing sponsored programs when interfacing a modification. PAFO will need to modify the cost-sharing sponsored program manually in SAP.\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"11\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>How does data entry affect the Award Details report in the Business Warehouse?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When entering an award action in KCRM, it\u2019s important to keep in mind the relationship between award data entry and the BW Award Detail report (replacement for the legacy <em>monthly report<\/em>). The award detail report uses the following six transaction types on the Time and Money document to record and display funds awarded to the university:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Advance Account<\/li>\n<li>New<\/li>\n<li>Renewal<\/li>\n<li>Continuation<\/li>\n<li>Supplement<\/li>\n<li>Increment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When a user creates a new Time &amp; Money document and selects one of the above transaction types, the report model will sum the direct and F&amp;A costs obligated to all child awards on that Time &amp; Money document and record the total as one award, associated with the date the document was finalized.

The basic steps for the workaround are below; however, the concept can be modified as appropriate to suit the specific situation:<\/p>\n<p>1. Add the direct costs to the budget. For each direct cost item, open the line item details sub-panel, and then the rate classes subpanel beneath that. Uncheck the \u201capply rate\u201d box (see the screen shot below). By doing this, you are telling the system not to calculate any F&amp;A on these items at all.<br \/>\n2. Figure out the direct cost amount that will generate the amount of F&amp;A authorized by the sponsor. (F&amp;A amount \/ rate = DC)<br \/>\n3. Add a \u201cconversion balancing item\u201d (a choice in the drop-down under Other Directs) for that amount of direct costs. That will generate the proper amount of F&amp;A.<br \/>\n4. Add another \u201cconversion balancing item\u201d as a negative amount, to zero out the direct costs you added in step 3. This time, however, uncheck the \u201capply rate\u201d box mentioned above in step one. This will remove the direct costs only. You should be left with the correct amount of direct, and the correct amount of IDC.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/kcrm\/files\/2011\/12\/IDC-Workaround.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-308\" title=\"IDC Workaround\" src=\"\/kcrm\/files\/2011\/12\/IDC-Workaround-636x299.png\" alt=\"IDC Workaround\" width=\"636\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/kcrm\/files\/2011\/12\/IDC-Workaround-636x299.png 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/kcrm\/files\/2011\/12\/IDC-Workaround.png 944w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/a><strong>Frequently Asked Questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"14\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>What data elements are essential for the correct processing of clinical trials?  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The following data is necessary to set up a clinical trial correctly:<\/p>\n<p>1.

In this case, the interface did not send a value for the Overhead Rate. In other words, the value was NULL.<\/p>\n<p>This error occurs when an update on a Child\/Sponsored Program is being transmitted that does not have a change in budget, meaning a budget in a \u201cTo Be Posted\u201d status. The KCRM team has put in a fix that sends the Overhead Rate from the previously sent transmission, but we still need to make sure the fix is applied appropriately to all awards.<\/p>\n<p>Until we make sure the fix is applied, the user can work around this error message by creating a budget version for zero direct and indirect dollars. A Time and Money should not be created and a new version of the child is not needed. Simply create a new budget version (suggested name \u2013 \u201cInterface Work around\u201d) and make sure your On\/Off Campus flag, Rate Type (MTDC, TDC, etc), and the Overhead Rate is set appropriately so the correct values are interfaced over to SAP upon transmission. Remember, if the award is subject to our rate agreement, then this value must be set in the Payment, Reports and Terms tab at the Child\/Sponsored Program.<span id=\"mce_marker\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a name=\"17\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>SAP integration failure messages: [Grant Failure Message: 00000000000050200534] &#8211; Error in creating Budget for Grant 50200534 [Grant Failure Message: 50200534] &#8211; Posting date in line item 1 does not lie within from_date and to_date [Grant Failure Message: 50200534] &#8211; Posting date in line item 2 does not lie within from_date and to_date [Grant Failure Message: 50200534] &#8211; No instance of object type BudgetEntryDocGM has been created.
