What happens if the award is silent, GCA transfers the residual balance, and the sponsor says they want the balance back?
GCA can reverse the residual balance transfer journal and issue a sponsor refund.
Can I use other kinds of worktags for a residual balance transfer, like a self-sustaining worktag, gift worktag, or recharge worktag?
Self-sustaining, gift, and recharge worktags cannot receive a residual balance. The residual balance worktag must have resource worktag RS100184 and fund worktag FD108.
I submitted a request for a subaward award line but the dollar amounts don't match. Why?
When submitting a request for a subaward award line, the SAGE Budget subaward worksheet does not include UW F&A (UW F&A is accounted for on the primary worksheet). However, when GCA adds funds to the subaward award in Workday, the UW F&A is added to the Line Amount and Award Plan to help with budgeting and award management.
Where can I transfer a deficit?
Visit GCA's deficit webpage for the list of worktags that can receive a deficit.
I'm not listed as an Award Portal contact for an award that I manage. Why is that?
Individuals who have the Workday Grant Manager security role automatically become an Award Portal contact for that grant worktag. If you are not listed as an Award Portal contact, check your Workday security role to make sure you are listed as a Grant Manager.
If you are not a Grant Manager, and you should be, complete the Provision security roles for UW Academy/Enterprise Finance Security Access request form available in UW Connect Finance.
Is GCA notified when I add a comment to an ASR or MOD?
GCA does not receive a notification from SAGE when a comment is added to a Award Setup Request, Modification Request or Advance Request. GCA periodically reviews items that have been returned to campus for activity.
How is interest calculated?
Interest is calculated as the interest rate provided by UW Treasury multiplied by the average monthly cash balance (i.e. cash receipts less expenditures).
How do we know when an award earns interest?
Interest is only available to awards where the sponsor pays in advance (scheduled payments or in full) and the agreement states that interest is required. Your award agreement may include the following (or similar) language. For example:
How do I see payment information for my award?
