Financial
Operations The LDS team has developed several
functions to help you manage your LDS
appointments. The Distribution Percentage Analysis
function displays the allocated percentage
distribution for any appointment you
select, by month or week. This report
helps you to identify periods that have
more than 100 percent or less than 100
percent distributions. Note If
you have problems
accessing any department
information for which
you should have
authorization, contact
your LDS Support
Representative. LDS requires that each monthly
appointment distribution have 100%
distribution for each period within the
current FY. The Percentages button
is useful for maintaining fiscal year
values for LDS appointments distributed to
multiple cost objects. The screen shows 12
or more periods (months or weeks) of
percentage totals.
Display Monthly Distribution Percentage
Analysis Report You can generate a report that displays all selected pay
categories by months. It highlights in red any total distributions
