Agenda• Grants Management System (GMS)
– scope and coverage– account coding – the POETA– main inquiry screens
• HR and payroll – Labour Distribution• Finance
– iProcurement and Core Purchasing– journals and adjustments– overheads– data migration
• Further training and support• Questions and answers
Today’s objective
By the end of this session you will have a basic understanding of
how to find information on Oracle Grants and Labour Distribution
4
What is the Oracle Grants Management System?
• An accounting tool– records actual expenditure related to
research projects– shows commitment (encumbrances) for
purchase orders and staff costs– calculates rule-based overheads– generates claims in most cases
5
Scope of the Grants system
• All continuing research projects– everything beginning with a P or R
• Not capital (building) projects
• Not staff accounts (beginning with an F)
• Not research accounts already closed
6
RAMP(Research Administration Management Programme)
• More responsive, faculty-facing organisational structure
• Project tracking and development tools• Enhanced accounting and financial controls
7
Research Services restructure
• Former/transition structure• Research Grants
and Contracts Office (RGCO)
• Research Accounts Office (RAO)
• Current organisation• Faculty teams• Contracts
Negotiation Unit• Research Support
and Compliance Unit

Faculty support – four teams
1. Medicine– three groups
2. Engineering and Tanaka Business School
3. Life Sciences

(ICIS)
• Interface with InfoEd

What is the POETA code?
POETA consists of:
• Project Number
• Organisation (cost organisation)
• Expense Type
• Task
• Award Number
14
Contrast with General Ledger codes
• The order of entering code segments on screen is different (but on paper forms, continue with present layout, in most cases)
• No recharge segment
• No sub-1 or sub-2 segments
15
Example of a complete POETA string
P12345_BIBCR.164109.01.BIBCR_P12345
• Project• Organisation• Expenditure type• Task• Award
16
Research award number format on Grants
ABCD(E)_P01234
eg, BIBCR_P01234
this is the format that we’re used to seeing on ICIS as a project number
17
Research project number format on Grants
P12345_ABCD(E)
eg, P01387_BIBCR
the format is the opposite way round to what we’re used to seeing on ICIS
18
InfoEd – Applications and Awards NumberingScenario – one funder with one ‘lead’ project and two sub-projects
Application stage
Funding application logged on to InfoEd
Sub-projectSystem generated ‘PS’ number, eg PS0131
Sub-projectSystem generated ‘PS’ number, eg PS0126
Lead projectSystem generated ‘P’ number, eg P01234
Sub-projectAward number assigned = cost centre + ‘PS’ number, eg MATH_PS0126
Lead projectAward number assigned = cost centre + ‘P’ number, eg BIBCR_P01234
Award stage Awarded funding
logged on to InfoEd and matched with
application
Sub-projectAward number assigned = cost centre + ‘PS’ number, eg CHBBC_PS0131
19
Award and Project Numbering
Scenario – one funder with one project
AwardAward number assigned = cost centre + ‘P’ number eg, BIBCR_P01234
Awarded funding logged on to InfoEd and matched with application
1Award details entered onto Oracle Grants
AwardSet up with award number BIBCR _P01234
2Project details entered onto Oracle Grants
ProjectSet up with project number P01234 _ BIBCR
3Award and Project linked on Oracle Grants
Award + ProjectAward/project link set up so project P01234_BIBCR is funded by award BIBCR_P01234
4Award budget entered onto Oracle Grants
Award BudgetAward budget set up with budget allocated across years and expenditure type

How do I?
• Charge a member of staff to a project?– No change – use form HR4 Contract Request
• Change someone’s charging?– No change - request in writing to your HR team
• Adjust staff costs once they’ve been posted?– Use the new HR form Staff Costs Adjustment
• Check how someone has been charged?– Your ICIS HR access– Your HR Services team– Payroll reports
43
New features in ICIS• LD Schedules – current and future charging
instructions for all members of staff– All charges to one project or GL code– Charges split between project or GL codes using %– Elements of pay charged to different projects or GL
codes
• LD Distribution Adjustments – how staff costs have been charged for prior periods

Raising Requisitions in iProcurement:
On the delivery screen the Buyer will now be asked whether the Requisition is Project related
• Yes and continue – fill in POETA
• No and continue - proceed as usual
52
Delivery Screen(iProcurement)
If project-related, select yes here
53
iProcurement
Enter the POETA code here
54
Core Purchasing
• Purchasing Distribution screen– enter the POETA on the Project tab
• Research project related orders only
55
Distributions Screen(core purchasing)
Project tab
56
Journals and Expenses
• Continue to submit, as now – paper journals– inter-departmental journals– ADI (electronic template) journals
• Separate expenses into two : grant and non-grant– new form by January
57
Overheads
• Calculated– Automatically, from burdening rule (eg 46%
of staff costs)– Manually, using journal functionality
• Indirect staff time
• Direct but non-specific costs
58
Data migration• Sources
– General Ledger : expenditure balances (inception to date)
– Project Master File : standing data– paper files, via data auto load spreadsheets– InfoEd (later)
• No transactional detail– continue to look up pre-2005 transactions via GL List of
Balances
• Checking and quality control• Correction of errors
59
Finance Training
• Will utilise a combination of ‘desktop’ and ‘conventional delivery’
• Detailed training is available- contact [email protected]
• E-learning modules via Spectrum- availability dates to be confirmed
• Training documentation:– series of updated user guides on Spectrum
