Sort Key:
This attribute is critical for the correct insertion of account administrator
names and addresses into accounts. It functions like a "key" or reference
number with which the account administrator name and address file is accessed
in order to load name and address information into an account. This
form of accessing and loading data may take place either through on-line
updating or via a batch update. In order for the procedure to work,
a corresponding entry must first exist in the Account Administrator File,
a.k.a. the "Mailing List". When this attribute is entered on a screen
or used in a batch update, the name and address information associated
with this key is loaded into the account being modified. If this
entry is not in the Mailing List, then the desired change cannot take place.
The Mailing List and FAS do not automatically communicate with one another
unless a transaction to change an account administrator is initiated.
Any change in the address information in the Mailing List must be reloaded
into FAS.
Building Number (digits l and 2): A building, or, in some cases,
a location within a building, to which Faculty Exchange makes deliveries.
The primary purpose of this attribute is to print ledger reports together
by location in order to speed their distribution through Faculty Exchange.
Employee (or Payroll) Number (digits 3 through 11): The unique
numeric ID of the Account Administrator #1. Originally designed to
hold a social security number, this field now has the format shown below
in "Values." |

Old University Payroll Number, or new Authorization Number for
new employees
|
Building Number: Values may be obtained from the Delivery Location
Number List available in Data Control, or from Buildings.
Employee (Payroll) Number: Values may be obtained from the latest
version of the FAS Account Administrators List.
For generic positions (e.g., Dean of the Humanities), a unique alphanumeric,
six-digit "dummy" number should be created. This should also be done for
administrators who are not University employees (e.g., NORC, Argonne, etc.).
In order to avoid duplication, this "dummy" number should be created in
consultation with Data Control. |
Responsibility: |
Data Control |
Data Verification: |
Building Number: Any deviations from Data Control's
standard list will appear when ledgers are printed, or when the Account
Administrator lists are produced.
Employee (or Payroll) Number: For existing administrators, this
number may be obtained from the latest version of the FAS Account Administrators
List. Modifications or additions should be submitted on forms to the Financial
Systems Librarian, who is solely responsible for maintenance of the Account
Administrator file. |
