[Mveca_usas] FW: Function/OPU validatin removed

[Deb Dinnen]

Hello,

I installed a patch to the software this morning.  This patch removes the validation requiring a building level OPU for certain functions from USAS until we can determine if/how this validation check will be applied in EMIS-R.  Specifically, the validation removed is the VALACT error "Building OPU required for this function." which applies to the function codes 2110, 2121, 2131, 2141, 2151, 2171, 2211, 2221, 2231, and 2490.  This is not meant to imply that ODE will not validate these codes, however USAS will be deferring to ODE's EMIS-R validations for this particular case.

If districts are using these function codes, we recommend that they review the function descriptions from the AOS manual and the "Expenditure Reporting Classification Chart" on ODE's website (link below) to ensure they are using the best coding for their situation.

                http://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Finance-and-Funding/Finance-Related-Data/Expenditure-and-Revenue/Expenditure-Per-Pupil-Rankings

ODE mentioned on their conference call that they will allocate any expenditures assigned to an OPU that is the district IRN to the buildings based on ADM.  If you do not want ODE to make this allocation, you will need to change the OPUs to the buildings.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Deb
