Additional Effort Certification check on ST

[Tammy-Lu Vandevender]

Hi,

Some where between KFSv4 and KFSv6 there was an additional check on the ST for employees that are paid from CG accounts but do not have an effort certification.  If this situation exists and the VALIDATE_AGAINST_EFFORT_CERTIFICATION_IND is set to Y, the ST is disapproved by KFS.  We only generate ECDs for Federally paid employees so this edit is disapproving STs for employees that are paid on grant accounts that are not federal (e.g., private or state contracts/grants).  STs for these types of employees have to wait until our certification period is completed and then we changed the parm to allow the ST to be processed.

Can someone point me to the Kuali JIRA that added this validation?  It seems like the edit should be changed to also look at the FEDERAL_ONLY_BALANCE_IND to determine if an ST is allowed.  What are others doing?

thanks,

tammy

FYI This is the part of code in the ST validation logic:

 // if employee does not have a report, transfer lines cannot use CG accounts
            if (transferLine.getAccount().isForContractsAndGrants()) {
                EffortCertificationReport openReport = getOpenReportingPeriod(transferLine);
                putError(LaborKeyConstants.ERROR_EFFORT_OPEN_PERIOD_CG_ACCOUNT, transferLine, openReport);
                return false;

Hi Tammy, sorry for the delayed response. 

I wasn't able to find any JIRAs that made this change in validation. 

This does appear to be a bug, the ST should use the same validation that EC is using to determine if an account is Federal or Federal Pass Through when the FEDERAL_ONLY_BALANCE_IND is set to Y, not the CG_DENOTING_VALUE which is what it appears to be looking at to determine allowable transfers after Effort Certs have been created. 

I'll log a ticket and if anyone else has anything to add, questions, concerns. Let us know. 

Thanks, Kymber
