HRMS and File Changes
Information for university developers


Early in the development of HRMS, the HRMS team believed that at the time of the Phase 2 release in November 2009, we were likely going to make changes to appointment files.

At this time, we will not make significant changes to appointment files for Phase 2 of HRMS that would affect your processes. The only changes we will make to appointment files are expanding the types of appointments that can be unfunded. In April, we sent you a message about no longer including funding account numbers on 0% appointments for affiliated workers, i.e. those who do work for the university but do not receive payment through payroll appointments. That information is located here.


The following is a complete list of appointments will be UNFUNDED, if complete funding has not been identified in HRMS:

  • Hourly appointments
  • 0% appointments
  • Zero-rate appointments

For UNFUNDED appointments, the following fields will be derived from the owning unit code in HRMS:

  • DEPARTMENT-TITLE
  • AQ-ACCOUNT-SHORT-TITLE
  • BUDGET-DEPT-CODE
  • ACCOUNTING-DEPT-CODE
  • ACCOUNTING-COLL-CODE
  • DEPT-TITLE-1
  • DEPT-TITLE-2
  • COLLEGE-TITLE-1
  • COLLEGE-TITLE-2

For UNFUNDED appointments, the following field will be blank:

  • ACCOUNT-IN-BUDGET
