[34] PWPSENC - This is the "Salary Encumbrance Recast Process", developed by OUS to recast encumbrance amounts each month, as OUS does not utilize the Banner baseline process. The date parameter should always be the first of the following month.

This process performs the automated data entry of the Salary Encumbrance and Fringe Encumbrance fields in the Encumbrance Information block of NBAJOBS. It also sets an indicator (NBRBJOB_ENCUMBRANCE_CHANGE_IND) to a "Y", which marks these records as changed for encumbrance processing. The Fringe Encumbrance is an estimate only, and is not used in further processing. The OUS OPE encumbrance processing is done solely in the NHPFIN1 process.

This process uses SCT's calculation for the salary encumbrance (NBPBUDM), which is based on calendar days. The calendar days become relevant when encumbering partial months or future-dated job labor distribution records.

The Contract Start and End Dates, from NBAJOBS, are used in encumbering to identify the length of the period to be encumbered; and both dates must be within the current fiscal year. If these dates are left blank, the fiscal year begin and end dates are used as a default. This process will only encumber Active jobs, so employees on leave status for the summer will not be encumbered until the job becomes active.

The calculation will generate a salary encumbrance based on the period beginning with the Encumbrance Date parameter entered, and ending with the least of the Contract End, Job End or fiscal year-end date. For example, if the Contract End was June 15, 1999, but the Job End was March 15, 1999 (terminated job), the process would encumber through March 15th. If this is the first month that a salary encumbrance was entered for this job, the entire amount will process through to finance. If this amount adjusts a current salary encumbrance value for the job, then the difference between last month's Salary Encumbrance and this newly calculated value will process through to finance.
