HSAs btwn account codes

[Andrea Johnson]

I just discovered that I successfully processed an HSA moving salary from a chartstring/combo code using 700202 to 700101.  

It was for one of our faculty who has two appointments - his REG, which is a 700101 faculty appointment, and an AUG, which is a 700202 P&A appointment for a leadership position he holds.

The HSA was on his AUG.  However, not only did HRMS not give me an error message that my account codes didn't match, the HSA posted! 

Apart from the fact that it's a bit disturbing that HRMS didn't flag this, is there any reason I need to reverse the HSA and redo it correctly?  Particularly since the transaction posted successfully and the fringe rates are the same for faculty and P&A, so there would be no changes in dollar amounts.

I think you would want the records to reflect his pay accurately. Even though there is no difference in the total salary and fringe, the division between types of pay should be clear and discoverable, e.g. if someone needs to see how much AUG somebody was paid, you wouldn't want it to look like $12K if it's supposed to be $10K.

I agree with Mary. I think accuracy is important here.
