In Accounting and Financial Reporting, we are responsible for the University’s financial reporting and coordination of the external audit for the University and its affiliated corporations. We assist the campus community with accounting related compliance and regulation issues, and also create and maintain the University’s chart of accounts.

Additionally, we process journal vouchers for non-grant related transactions and process requests for stop payments and voiding of checks, as well as prepare monthly bank reconciliations.

FAQ's

Who do I contact if I have questions concerning checks?

Email ControlDesk@uky.edu or call (859) 257-8889.

How long must I wait before a stop payment can be placed on a check?

Generally, if the vendor name and address on the check are correct, a stop payment cannot be placed on the check until 10 business days have passed. This delay gives the vendor ample time to receive the check through the mail.

For questions concerning checks with incorrect vendor names or addresses or any other questions about stop payments, please email ControlDesk@uky.edu or call (859) 257-8889.

What should I do if a vendor says they didn't receive a check?

Verify that the check has been issued using one of the following transactions.  Note the date of the check, the check number, and the amount.

  • Search for payment by vendor name:
    • FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) – Search for vendor number information by name and review payments made to the vendor for any selected time frame.
    • FK10N (Vendor Balance Display) – Search for vendor number by name and review payments made to the vendor by fiscal year.
  • Search for payment by invoice number or PRD number:
    • FB03 (Display Document) – Search for vendor payments using the invoice number or assigned document number.
  • Search for payment by cost object:
    • KSB1 (Display Actual Cost Line Items for Cost Centers) – Search for vendor payments made against a cost center for any selected time frame.
    • S_PLN_16000269 (Grants Management: Line Item Display) – Search for vendor payments made against a WBS element for any selected time frame.
    • FMRP_RFFMEP1AX (Document Journal) – Search for vendor payments made against any cost object for any selected time frame.

 If the check has been issued, email ControlDesk@uky.edu to verify that the check is outstanding, to obtain a copy of the paid check, or to place a stop payment on the check.

 If the check has not been issued, contact the appropriate Accounts Payable Services personnel.

Why is a check showing as void on my Tableau reports/detail transaction reports?

This could happen for several reasons including, but not limited to, the following: a stop payment may have been requested, duplicate checks may have been issued, or two vendor payments may have been combined in error into one check.  Email ControlDesk@uky.edu with specific questions.

How do I access Tableau reports/dashboards and detailed transaction reports?

How do I get more information about a transaction appearing on my Tableau report and who do I contact with questions?

All postings in SAP are tracked by document number and each electronic document has back-up attached.  Type the document number in SAP transaction FB03 and also type the company code as UK00 and then press enter to pull up the document.  Click on the drop-down arrow next to Display Document: Overview in the upper left corner and choose attachment list to access the support for the document.  If there are still questions after reviewing the document's support, reach out to the creator of the document with any further questions.

Who do I contact if I'm unsure of the correct G/L account to use for a transaction?

Refer to Business Policy Manual E-17-8. If you still have questions, email the Master Data Control Desk at masterdata@uky.edu or call (859) 257-8638.

What are the balances in my fund?

Transaction Code ZGL_TRBR1_FUND in SAP displays the current account balances. If you need help interpreting what you see in SAP, contact your Area Business Officer.

Where is my fund balance from last year?

Please contact your Area Business Officer to determine how much, if any, fund balance is returned.

How do I set up a new cost object?

  • For UK cost centers, contact your Area Business Officer or reference the cost/funds center request form.
  • For student or non-UK professional organization agency cost centers, reference the Business Procedures Manual E-17-14 and the agency cost center form. For all other questions, contact your Area Business Officer.

How do I set up a new general ledger account?

For general ledger accounts (assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, recharges and transfers), contact your Area Business Officer or reference the account request form.

Why is my cost object blocked?

1129’ cost objects (agency cost centers) are generally blocked for two reasons:

  • The account has a zero or a deficit balance. To clear a deficit in a 1129' cost center, make a deposit at Treasury Services, Room 356 Service Building, 0005. If you have questions regarding the amount of the deficit or the charges that created the deficit, email the Master Data Control Desk at masterdata@uky.edu or call (859) 257-8638.
  • The account has an expired ending date. Contact your Area Business Officer about procedures for re-activating an expired account.

 For other cost objects, contact your Area Business Officer.
