SCO/STO Release
Control End-User Role Descript ion Handbook
1. Introduction The SCO/STO Release FI$Cal End-User Role Description Handbook describes the new FI$Cal end-user roles related to the new FI$Cal business processes implemented with 2017 SCO/STO Release. The FI$Cal end-user roles are organized by FI$Cal business process area. For the 2017 SCO/STO Release, the business process areas are:
• Accounts Payable (AP)
• Billing/Accounts Receivable (AR)
• Bond Accounting (BA)
• Cash Management
• General Ledger
• Loan Accounting For additional information on the SCO/STO Release business processes and functionality, refer to the 2017 SCO/STO Release Business Process Workshop materials. These materials are available from your Department Liaison and posted to the FI$Cal website at http://fiscal.ca.gov/wave_3_resources/index.html. This FI$Cal End-User Role Description Handbook is designed to assist SCO and STO in completing role-mapping tasks and maintaining role assignments. Role mapping is the process of mapping end users to the appropriate FI$Cal end-user roles required to complete their daily work activities for FI$Cal. The Handbook helps departments understand the FI$Cal access that each role provides. For each FI$Cal end-user role, this Handbook provides:
• Role name
• Description of role
• List of role responsibilities
• List of related FI$Cal business processes
• Description of how the role works with other roles, and where applicable, specifically categorized as the following:

2. Accounts Payable (AP)
2.1 Accounts Payable Process Overview Accounts Payable is the process of vouchering and paying money owed to vendors and employees. This includes the sub-processes of Vendors, Vouchers, Payments, and 1099 Withholding. The purpose of the Vendor process is to create a single statewide Vendor Management File (VMF) that records vendors, bidders, and SB/DVBE certification data. Unique vendor IDs are created centrally in FI$Cal for each vendor and shared by all departments. Each vendor is validated by FI$Cal and approved centrally to prevent duplicate entry. Prior to using a vendor to source a requisition or create a PO, a vendor requires approval. The Voucher process encompasses activities required to capture invoice data; generate a voucher; and attach related documents, approvals, budget checking, and voucher posting. Matching also occurs in the Voucher process when POs and receipts are matched with the voucher, thereby integrating the voucher to the Purchasing business process. The Payment process for FI$Cal vouchers begins with the need to generate a payment from the approved voucher and includes activities needed to capture invoice-specific information. It ends when payment(s) are generated for the approved voucher. The Payment process for Legacy claim payments encompass capturing payment detail from Legacy systems as well as generating payments for applicable Legacy claims. With the SCO/STO release, warrant specific post issuance actions can be performed on recorded claim/warrant payments. The 1099 Withholding process uses vendor payment data and creates withholding detail records used to report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Vendor Payment Transactions that are flagged for 1099 reporting are posted into the withholding tables and used to create calendar year reports in FI$Cal.

Customer information is not required for recording miscellaneous receipts; however, customers may be associated with miscellaneous receipt transactions.

The creating and maintaining of the bank accounts process involves the configuration setup of the State Bank, Demand Banks, the Centralized Treasury System (CTS) Accounts, the Warrant Accounts, and the Demand Bank Accounts. The bank statement reconciliation process will be used to reconcile system transactions to bank statements and will give the control agencies and departments the ability to manage reconciliation. The Bank Account Transfer process facilitates the transfer of cash between CTS Bank Accounts, as well as between demand accounts in the different depository banks, to correct errors generated in Accounts Payable (AP) or Accounts Receivables (AR). The Managing Cash Positions process will enable partner agencies and departments to view the position of cash in the appropriate bank account. The Cash Forecast business process enables the partner agency to make use of the Cash Position and various other FI$Cal information to support the current Cash Forecasting reports created by the partner agency at daily, six-week, ten-week, and six-month intervals via various reports.

This process includes the entering, validating, and budget checking of journals, as well as posting journals to a ledger. This process is used to post both financial and statistical transactions to the GL. Journal entries can be created directly in the GL, via the subsystem Journal Generation process, from external systems, or uploaded using the Spreadsheet Journal Import tool. The Create and Process Budget Transactions business process provides for the recording of budgeted revenue and expenditure amounts against which transactions in all FI$Cal modules are validated. The budget structures that control budget validation will be defined prior to posting budget transactions. Key functions of this business process include recording budget transactions in FI$Cal, either online or via an interface process from the Hyperion Planning, Budgeting, and Forecasting system ("Hyperion"), then posting those journals to budget ledgers. The Labor Distribution process creates accounting entries to record the State's payroll transactions. The process initially classifies each department's payroll costs to a single, department-specific default accounting classification, and then distributes those costs to employee-specific accounting classifications based on business rules defined by the departments. The Allocations process creates GL journals that reclassify, or "distribute," monetary or statistical ledger balances within a business unit or across business units. The Process Financial Statements process provides department reports and year-end close procedures. The Maintain Chart of Accounts (COA) process supports the maintenance of ChartField values and their associated system configuration, including trees and ChartField Attributes. Process Financial Statements is the General Ledger process for reporting transactions in the GL. This process generates statewide reports, departmental reports, and year-end close procedures. Reports may consist of budgetary/legal, cash, and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis reports. The GL will be the California State Book of Record, and all Year-End financial statements will be created from FI$Cal.

8.1 Project Costing Process Overview Project Costing is the financial tracking of projects. This involves the processes of projects, project budgets, project costs, and project capitalization. Create and Maintain Projects involves the creation of new projects in FI$Cal and from supporting systems. Project Budgets will be received from supporting business processes occurring in the Budgets and Commitment Control modules, which will enforce or monitor project budgets at the point of transaction entry. All project-related transactions are captured by Project Costing from FI$Cal modules, including Procurement, Accounts Payable, General Ledger, Grant Management, Customer Contracts, and Labor Distribution, as well as external systems. Project Capitalization involves sending expenditures identified as applicable to be capitalized to the Asset Management module where asset accounting functionality and In-Service/Depreciation journal entries are initiated.
