If you enter Grant controls incorrectly, correcting the Grant Control Table will not correct the transactions that have already processed in STARS.

In order to correct those transactions, do the following:

Day 1 – Reverse the Incorrect Transactions

  • Set the Grant Control Table to the incorrect controls.
  • Enter adjusting entries to reverse out the posted transaction.
  • Release the batch for processing in the nightly processing.

You should not release any other batches for that day that might post to the incorrect Grant information. If you do, they will process under the incorrect controls and will have to be reversed.

Day 2 – Re-Enter the Old Transactions

  • Set the Grant Control Table to the correct controls.
  • Enter adjusting entries to re-post the old transactions to the correct controls.
  • Release the batch, as well as other batches you have held for processing in the nightly processing.

If you are making the change to a higher level (e.g., from expenditure summary object to object level) you may be able to leave the old data as is and request your reports at the higher level. However, your online information for those transactions already posted would be at the lower level and would not combine on the online screens.
