Business Roles

The Business Process Flow Diagrams use horizontal swim lanes to depict where activities are performed by different parties or systems. Each swim lane is titled with a role, either agency-based or within DFS, and in some cases, are representative of an external entity or system. The swim lanes may change from page to page within a single business subprocess as more or fewer roles are required to execute sections of the business subprocess. 

Business Process Flows Details

The tables below describe steps in each business subprocess as reflected on the Business Process Flow Diagrams. The tables also reflect information associated with each step describing the intent of the specific process. Florida PALM screenshots are included within the sections to allow connections to be made from specific business subprocess steps to screens within Florida PALM. This information should be read in conjunction with the Business Process Flow Diagrams.

Process Step Title

Description of Process

1

Review Outstanding Payroll Warrants

The Agency Payroll Reporter reviews payroll warrant status report (PRR035), which lists the warrant status to identify outstanding payments.


2

Contact Employee

The Agency Payroll Reporter contacts the employees whose payments are outstanding, to encourage them to present the warrant to the bank.

Process Stale Payroll Payments

Florida PALM transfers applicable payments to the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund for administration by the Unclaimed Property Processor on a scheduled basis.


Any warrants containing federal dollars or other funds exempt from transfer to Unclaimed Property are redistributed and the exempt funds revert to the originating fund. The agency accounts for the federal funds or other funds which cannot be transferred.


Warrants not containing federal dollars or funds exempt from transfer to Unclaimed Property are included in the Outbound Stale Payments File to Unclaimed Property.

Review Funds Transferred to Unclaimed Property

The Payroll Funds Transferred to Unclaimed Property and Funds Exempt from Transfer to Unclaimed Property report is available for agencies in the Data Warehouse to monitor and review to ensure the appropriate transactions were exempt from transfer to Unclaimed Property.


If transfer errors were made, the agency will determine appropriate action and either transfer to Unclaimed Property or request Unclaimed Property to transfer to the appropriate fund. Please refer to 110.3.1 Agency Record Inter/IntraUnit Transactions.

Accounting Events

Accounting events originate during transaction processing in the applicable source module. The accounting events impact the source module, Commitment Control ledgers, and the General ledger (Actuals).

  • Source Module accounting entries require user input (U) of the primary line (i.e., expenditure, revenues) with an automated system (S) offsetting line (i.e., payable, receivable) during transaction entry. The source model transaction must pass Edit Check, Budget Check, and Cash Check (on applicable entries) prior to posting the transaction.
  • The Run Budget Check (Commitment Control) process automatically affects balances in the appropriate budget ledger (i.e., appropriation, spendable cash) if the transaction passes the budget check process.
  • After the transaction is posted in the source module, an automated system process summarizes and posts the entries in the General Ledger module to the Actuals Ledger.

The table below provides the most common accounting events applicable to this business process.
