The Current Encumbrances report includes detailed information about remaining encumbrances, including the description, date encumbered and date of last activity.  Encumbrance data is based on information which originates in Higher Education Personnel and Payroll System (HEPPS, the Payroll System) or Purchasing Accounting System (PAS, the Purchasing System). MyFD receives encumbrance information from the Financial Accounting System (FAS).  FAS receives encumbrance information from HEPPS and PAS at varying intervals. 

This report is not limited by access; anyone with access to MyFD may look at the Current Encumbrance Report for any budget.

• Payroll encumbrances  information is sent to FAS twice monthly.  This information should be viewable in MyFD  a couple of days after the payroll cutoff date. Check the Payroll Deadline calendar for more information about cutoffs.
• PAS  encumbrance  transactions are normally posted to the financial system (FAS) nightly. At the beginning of a new calendar month, PAS encumbrances are held and are NOT posted to FAS until the new accounting month has opened.  The FAS schedule on FIN kiosk displays the date of the first run of the accounting month. (The jobstream name is “JAMDAYFIRST”.)
