The office hour today covered very basic salary encumbrances (slides here Salary encumbrance very basic) and detailed instructions for the general ledger FBDI and project non-labor cost transfer (instructions here Instruction on Cost Transfer POET to-from COA).

Remember the key point on salary encumbrances if they look high

• it’s a faculty fund and the assignment end date or project end date is far in the future (2099 or 4712, definitely zombie territory.)
• it’s a student and the HCM assignment hours are blank (in HCM blank = 40.)

The Zoom recording is available in the FBDI box folder https://rice.box.com/v/FBDI-folder-for-dropoff under “Zoom recordings” (because I, as an accountant, am very literal.)
