Overview
This job aid shows campuses how to create Balance IDs.
Background
- CMS creates the CSUID Balance IDs.
- Campuses are responsible for creating their own Balance IDs.
- You must create the Balance IDs before the calendar year payroll calendars are created.
- The Balance ID value FY is used strictly for LCD processing to aligns with how adjustments and year-to-date totals are verified in the LCD process (so CFS and CHRS are synchronized).
- The Balance ID value CY is used throughout the Benefits and in TL for the additional configurations. For Benefits, the Balance ID must be setup before you can start the Open Enrollment process.
Numerous modules within CHRS rely on this functionality and require proper setup. To avoid duplicate efforts, be sure to coordinate with the relevant team members at your campus before proceeding with the setup.
