HR Module Effects on Finance Module
• Changes made in the HR Module are reflected in the
Finance Module on a monthly basis.
• Budgeted amounts
• Payroll feeds (Payroll processed during the
month)
• Encumbrances
NOTE: NOEs in process which are pending
approvals will not be included until the HR
department enters them in the system.
• Example: Information in FGIBDST is updated once a month,
the last working day of each month. If FGIBDST is accessed
on May 17th, the payroll information will be as of April 30th.

Salary Net Available Balance in the
organization by account code/e-class.

How to interpret FGIBDST information
•
“Adjusted Budget”.- Salary Budget approved in
the Staffing Plan.
•
“YTD”.- All year to date salary expenses paid.
•
“Commitments”.- Salary Encumbrance amounts
up to the end of the Fiscal Year for Staffing Plan
positions or up to the end date stated on NOEs for
DW, Trainers and Temporary positions.
•
“Available Balance”.-The difference between:
= Adjusted Budget – YTD - Commitments

Formula for Organization Net Available
Balance “FGIBDST form”
If the Organization/Department FGIBDST form is
showing the following accounts codes:
• 610016
• 610019
• 610020
• 610030
• 610045
remove their positive or negative balance
from the Net Total Available Balance on the
bottom of the right hand side, the difference
will be the “Net Total” of the Organization.

by the amount of overtime earned by staff.

expenditures to manage their organization’s Net
Available Balance when hiring new personnel
and when transferring funds.
**Overtime expenditures are not encumbered.
Note: Overtime Pools are not budgeted by
organization in the Staffing Plan.
