3 Introduction The Hyperion Planning Application is a tool used to prepare UBC s consolidated budget for submission to the Board and Ministry. Hyperion Planning Training should be used to supplement the Hyperion Forecast training for the Operating Report for Executive. An updated forecast is important because it allows users to project their carry forward balance, and this projected carry forward balance will be part of the estimated spending for their future year budget (Plan). New for this year is the availability of Working and Annual versions for both the current year Forecast and the future year Plan. Before users begin to make updates in Hyperion, please discuss with your Dean s Office or VP level finance head to find out which version (Working or Annual) they would like the users to be working in. For this training guide, we will go through the following: Data flow between FMS, Hyperion and Position Management/HRMS Running reports from Hyperion Update forms for Plan Working and Plan Annual Form locations for Forecast Working and Forecast Annual Run Aggregation Create new positions in Workforce Review Position Management and Workforce If you have any questions, please send an to budget@finance.ubc.ca Page 3

4 Data Flow between Hyperion, FMS and HRMS Hyperion Planning 1. Daily on weekdays, GPO funding transfers are loaded to FMS in account /Central Ledger 2. Weekly on weekends, Salary and Benefits in Hyperion are updated by any changes made to Position Management (new hire, salary increases, terminations/retirements, leave) 3. Monthly after Financial Services posts all JV s, FMS actuals are loaded to Hyperion There are some terms and information that users should to familiarize themselves as these terms will be used throughout the guide. 1. Forecast is the current year projection of revenue/expenses/transfers 2. Plan is the future year projection of revenue/expenses/transfers, otherwise known as your budget for next year 3. FMS is where all the financial data is posted and the University Financial Statements are run from this database 4. HRMS repository of all Employee/Staff data including Position Management Page 4

5 5. Workforce Position Management sends salary and benefits expenses to Workforce every weekend and any future open month salary and benefits expenses in the Forecast and Plan are updated 6. UBCPlan module in Hyperion where the Forecast, Plan and Workforce forms can be found 7. FundPlan module in Hyperion where users can make GPO funding transfers or future period planned interfund transfers 8. Version Working is the version that receives Position Management, Actuals and Funding updates. Forecast Working receives actuals as months close in FMS and its carry forward balance is the Plan Working opening carry forward balance. 9. Version Annual is a copied version from Working. This version does not receive any Position Management Updates. Forecast Annual does not receive Funding updates or Actual loads from FMS. Plan Annual still receives future year Funding updates but no changes from Position Management. Page 5

6 Run Reports in Hyperion 1. Open Hyperion Planning from FMS (for training environment, please use the login/password handed to you in class, and the link setup on the monitor) 2. Hyperion home page will appear and then click Explore Page 6

7 3. Open Reports folder Reports Management and Income Statement -> Budget Reviews and right click or double click on the report Planning Snapshot Plan_Act_Fcst_NextPlan. 4. Update the User Point of View For the purposes of this exercise the instructor will use D as an example. (For users, please run the report based on your own Department ID) Fund: G0000 Program Code: ALL_PROGRAMS Entity: D (Users, please use your own Department ID) Project Grant: PLANNING_PGS Year: FY14 Page 7

8 Based on the criteria we have entered, the report will show all non-research PGs (PLANNING_PGS) and all Program Codes (ALL_PROGRAMS) for Department D300100, for fund code G0000, Forecast FY14 and Plan FY15. A Brief Definition of the report Point of View fields: Fund is the fund you would like to review. For Admin units, please only plan for Endowment, Specific Purpose and Operating funds: Page 8

9 Program Code is a unique identifier of a chartfield. Generally the majority of the chartfields in FMS are PC_Default or no program code, however if you plan by program code, you can enter the code here. Entity your department or node in the FMS tree in which you are planning or forecasting Project Grant the project grant or PG is a part of the chartfield in which you will be planning Year the fiscal year in which we would like to forecast 5. After you hit OK from the user point of view, the report will appear. 6. Generally we would want to export the file to excel co click File Export Excel Fully-formatted CSV file. Please select either Open or Save as, if selecting Save as, please save to your desktop. Page 9

10 These messages may appear, just click on cancel and yes: Page 10

11 Here s the excel output: Or export the report to PDF if you are going to a meeting to discuss the Department Financials: Page 11

12 Here s a brief description of the columns for the report: Actual 2013/14 = Prior year actuals Plan 2015/16 Approved = prior year board approved budget Actuals 2014/15 Approved = FMS actuals loaded to Hyperion Forecast Working 2014/15 = is a mix of Actual FMS closed months and future planned months Plan Working 2015/16 = the working version of the future year budget that still receives Position Management Updates Plan Annual 2015/16 = the consolidated budget we will submit for next year s budget, no Position Management Updates once this version is created The Planning Snapshot report is the standard report users can use to view a snapshot of their entire Department or a Department/Project Grant by Fund or all Funds. There are many other reports in Hyperion that users can use, and for Admin Units, they have to submit the Budget Review Template. The template and other reports definitions and how to run them can be found at the Management Reporting and Budgeting website at this link: Page 12

13 Working or Annual versions for Plan and Forecast Please contact your Dean s office or VP Level Finance head to see if they would like to use the version of the Forecast or Plan they would like to use. They have two options - Working or Annual. If they mention they would like to use Annual, please use only the sections related to Forecast Annual and Plan Annual and if they want you to use Working please refer to the guide in sections for Forecast Working and Plan Working. The Dean s Office and VP level finance heads will be making the decision on which version to use so please contact them first before updating forms in Hyperion. Plan Working Department Level Changes In Hyperion, users have the option to update at the Department level or the Project Grant level. Let s pretend that for the department that we are planning for (D300100), we are content with the current numbers in our report, and will just need to add a few items to make the Plan complete. For the Plan, we are going to add/adjust the following data: 1. Plan for two new hires using ALPHA accounts ($55K x 2 plus benefits of 10% or $5.5K x 2) 2. Travel expenses for staff and faculty ($10K) 3. Supply expense increase ($5K) 4. Increase Sales and Service revenue for sale of used books and supplies ($100K) Open Plan Working Forms: 1. In the Hyperion homepage click on Applications and then UBCPlan. 2. Expand Forms -> and click on 2.Plan to see the forms available for Plan Working Page 13

14 3. Double click on the form 2.20 Alpha Account Input Only Plan Working Page 14

15 4. Edit the Department ID and Fund code (for the in class demonstration, the instructor will use D300100, fund code G0000, users please input your own Department ID, and G0000) 5. And then click on the go arrow. Page 15

16 6. Add expenses and revenue to the form based on our pretend meeting with the Department Managers. o Plan for two new hires using ALPHA accounts ($55K x 2 plus benefits of 10% or $5.5K x 2) so $110K in salary expenses and $11K in benefits Locate the SALSTF expenses and BENEFT expenses and update the form for the additional expenses. Update the TotalYear for the total salary and benefits. Page 16

17 Now fill in the form for the rest of the information and click save o Travel expenses for staff and faculty ($10K) o Supply expense increase ($5K) o Increase Sales and Service revenue for sale of used books and supplies ($100K) Now the data has been saved on the form, but in order to get the data to show up in a report at the Department Level, we have to run aggregation. Page 17

18 Aggregation (optional) 1. In the same form, click on the arrow to show the folders, forms and business rules: Page 18

19 2. Double Click on the business rule ISPlan User Aggregation ISPlan Check to make sure values are as follows: Entity: The Same Dept ID as the one we used in form 2.20 (our example we are using D300100) Scenario: Plan Version: Working Year: FY16 1. Once the values have been updated click on Launch Aggregation is now optional. We have updated Hyperion to automatically aggregate the moment users click on the save button. Now we have learned how to update forms at the Department level. For the PG level, there are additional forms to use, we recommend to use form 2.10 and then drill down to form 2.02, however users can skip directly to form 2.02 if they know the Fund/Dept/PG/Program code they would like to use.

50 Workforce form Open folder 4. Workforce 2. Click on form Select the fund/dept ID/PG you would like to review, for our exercise its G0000, D300100, PG 30G55101 (Users, please use a real Fund/Dept/PG in your own portfolio) Page 50

51 Page 51

52 Compare TotalYear in ALL_POSITIONS line against the form 2.02 totals for total salary and benefits. Page 52

53 Here s the summary of the comparison between form 2.02 and 4.50: Form 2.02 Salaries (A) 1,277,246 Form 2.02 Benefits (A) 203,548 Form 2.02 Total Compensation 1,480,794 Form 4.50 Total Compensation 1,480,793 Variance 1 So form 4.50 lists out employees/positions at the Dept/PG/Program code level. It defaults to Total Compensation however we can review the Salary/Benefit split by employee by clicking on the expand button on Total Compensation: Page 53

54 Alternatively, we can export the form to excel and then filter on salary/benefits: 1. With form 4.50 open, click on Tools Export as Spreadsheet This warning message may appear, just click on Open or Save and then Yes: Type the following into cell A3 to C3, and then filter on row 3: Position Employee Compensation Page 54

55 Filter on Compensation and select Total Salary: And now we get a nice neat summary of Total Salary from Workforce: Page 55

56 Add Position in Workforce In the event we have to add positions into Workforce, there is a form that will enable us to do this. 1. In Workforce open form 4.30 New Position Information 2. Input your Fund, Department ID, PG, Program Code, Year, Plan Type and Version and then click on the Go Arrow: 3. Right click in the body of the form and click Add To-be-hired Salary. Page 56

57 4. Add the same two employees we were going to add through form 2.02 and 2.20 (2 staff members for $110K with 10% benefits) A new line will appear with a TBH position with their related details Page 57

58 Now on form 4.50, the employee also shows up as TBH2: Position Management and Employee Data in form 4.50 Information in Workforce form 4.50 generally comes from these sources: 1. Position Management 2. HRMS 3. Payroll Entries 4. Alpha Salary from Forecast forms 5. Create a position in Hyperion Form 4.30 We will review a position/employee in form 4.50, to observe the outcome based on the selections we make in Position Management. The column on the left represents Position numbers and the 2 nd column represents the employee ID# and the incumbent name and the third column is the total compensation (Salary and Benefits). In the months is salary and benefit expense from either Position Management or HRMS. In order to view the split between salary and benefit click on the expand button beside Total Compensation. Page 58

59 We will analyze position 7779 and 8127 for the Position Management projected salary in the open months. Users can analyze a position on a Dept/PG in which they have access. In order to review the salary in FMS, you must have access to HRMS and Position Management. 1. Log into FMS 2. Open HRMS 3. Click on Position Management and then Add/Update Position Info. Page 59

60 4. Type the Position number into the Position Number field. Note you will have to add zeroes to the beginning of the Position number. 5. Check off the position and click Update Page 60

61 6. Click on the Budget tab. 7. Review the funding info (in the middle of the Budget tab) for the Position. The salary commitments drop down is what triggers expense amounts to be populated in Workforce. A user will have two options, Hire Data or Pos n Data. If a user selects Hire Data, this generally means the salary information is coming from HRMS or Payroll. If a user selects Pos n Data the salary expenses will come from the Funding Details at the bottom of the Budget Tab. For position 7779, Hire Data is selected, which means if there is a current employee, it will draw HRMS data or their real payroll data. In order to review the incumbent, click on the incumbents tab. Page 61

62 In the Incumbents section, there is no current incumbent or the position is vacant, which means for this Position it will automatically default to Pos n Data instead of Hire Data even though Hire Data was selected. In order to review the Position salary expense, go back to the Budget tab, and scroll down to funding details. Let s compare the Funding details to Workforce form Page 62

63 From position management, salary funding details $ per month and this matches Workforce form 4.50 $9946 monthly salary. The benefit amount for $1492 also ties. Please note, as this position is vacant, when an incumbent is hired, the Hire Data will be used, so Workforce amounts for open months will change when this event happens in the future. Now let s observe position Click Add/Update Position Info. In Position management and enter 8127 (recall to put zeroes at the beginning of the position) and then click Add/Search Page 63

64 2. Check off the position and click Update. 3. Go to the Budget tab. 4. Review Funding Info Page 64

65 5. Hire data has been selected, so go to the Incumbents tab (if Pos n Data is selected then scroll down to the bottom of the screen to review Funding Details) 6. Review the incumbent. 7. Compare Compensation rate to form Page 65

66 The compensation rate of $9999 in Position Management ties to the Salary line for $9999 in Workforce form The benefit amount is just a calculation based on the % set in Position Management. The percentage can be seen in the Budget tab, funding details. If we calculate $9999 time 15%, this equals $ or $1500 and it ties to Workforce form Position Management will yield the following results based on what we select in the Budget Tab: Page 66

67 1. Hire Data the compensation rate is from HRMS/Payroll and reflects the real salary expense. 2. Pos n Data the compensation rate is the Funding Details at the bottom of the Budget tab for the position Things to consider: Pool positions where there are more than one incumbent are always Pos n Data. Even if we select Hire Data, it will default to Pos n Data. Vacant position default to Pos n Data where there is no incumbent Frequency of Workforce Updates Workforce is currently updated every weekend except the week that users are asked to update their Forecast for the Operating Report. Actuals Loaded to Hyperion Actuals are loaded to Hyperion on a monthly basis. Generally the load occurs one day after Financial Services sends out an stating all the journals are posted and reports can be run. Please view the Universal Schedule for details on the exact dates of the Workforce Updates and FMS Actuals loaded to Forecast. And then click Universal Schedule. Summary This guide should be used as a supplement to the Forecast training guide and the Fund transfer training guides. For more information on these other guides, please visit the Management Reporting and Budgeting website at this link: This guide did not go over every component of Hyperion, however we went through the key processes in how to update your Plan using either Working or Annual versions. And we also went through how data flows into Hyperion from other systems which is vital when trying to understand the information in your Forecast or Plan. If you have any questions in regards to the guide or anything Hyperion related, please send an to budget@finance.ubc.ca End of Training Document Page 67
