I'm working to identify the cause and fix the problem. I will let you know as soon as we get it fixed. Thanks for your patience, Bill Murray From Spotworthy at aol.com Tue Apr 20 21:31:29 2004 From: Spotworthy at aol.com (Spotworthy at aol.com) Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 00:31:29 EDT Subject: Major problems with accounting for lindaw Message-ID: <195.28a3c3f1.2db75321@aol.com> Jane, et all, I just got an account summary that you sent to Nanostructures for 9/03 to 4/04 and there is a huge problem with the new accounting. Everything I have done for multiple clients, including training, (eksigent technologies, lilliputian systems inc, photon imaging) are all being charged to Nanostructures. I have not done any work for Nanostructures here since October 10, 2003. I make darn sure to charge each account for the time I spend on their projects using the pull down menu in coral reservations and equipment enabling. Apparently, just because Nanostructures is my default account, they are being charged for all of my "indirect costs" (which I assume is time that I am "logged in" to coral) and actual equipment time. This is totally wrong. I know you all are busy with the open house, but I really need to address this issue, as it may affect not only me, but other members who are working on multiple projects.

Also, inventory items (or mask making activity) also need to be written so that the proper account gets charged. Since this is a somewhat manual process, it is often prone to human error and, if nothing is done to override it, your default project will get charged for everything ... this may be a case where you should ask for your default project to be changed to the most likely candidate. However, when I generate a full report of your activities, I see that some of those other accounts such as Lilliputian, Eksigent, etc. have been charged for your usage on their behalf. In other words, I'm reasonably confident that when you enabled equipment for your non-default project that it did, in fact, get attributed to that other project and account. It appears is if you were looking only at the Nanostructures activities rather than the full set of your activities. I've generated 3 excel files that represent all of your usage since September 1, 03. The file named Linda Whittlesley should represent the charges that would appear on monthly statements for each of your projects (note: these won't include the 60% ovehead item that is added automatically during billing). There is also a file name LindaWActivitySum that represents the monthly totals for equipment usage (well, it also includes resrvations, and lab activity ... but we don't charge for those anyhow). Finally, there is the full, gory detail of each element of equipment usage ... and, I think, you'll see that the usage attrributed to each of your projects carries through to the summary tables and ultimately to the billing items. So, I can certainly beleive that the training and inventory items got sent to the wrong project because both of those are depenendent on other people knowing and entering that information. If you want to tell me where those items should be directed, we will make the apporpriate corrections in our database and will make the appropriate journal that will credit Nanostructures and debit the appropriate party. If you see other items that need correction, please bring them to my attention or if you disagree with my assessment that equipment enabled to non-Nanostructures folks did, in fact, get billed to them. Thanks, John p.s. I'm actually going to be away starting at about noon today until May 2. So, if you let Jane Edwards know of any changes in the trainining and inventory charges, she can likely enter the corrective journal into the accounting system before the end of the month and then I can make the corrections in the database upon my return. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
