Name of the View: DETAIL_PAYROLL_TRANS

Description: This view displays salary and fringe benefit expenditures and salary encumbrance transaction detail for the UW-Madison campus. Fringe benefit encumbrances are not available. The basis for this view is the WISDM data, so it is updated daily and contains data starting with FY2005. Detail salary data prior to FY2005 can be retrieved from the Detail Accounting Transactions view.

Authorization: You must receive approval to access this data view. Authorization forms and procedures can be found at the following web site: http://www.bussvc.wisc.edu/acct/sfs/.

Special Considerations:

  • Fringe benefit and longevity payments for GPR funds will be included unless you take action to exclude them. These expenditures are recorded to the Organization and also to a project/grant (e.g. 101A000 for fringes and 101A001 for longevity). One way to exclude them would be to use the following statement in your selection: PROJECT GRANT EQ " ". Note that the space within the double quotes will have the effect of excluding all Project/Grants within the funds that you have selected.
  • For Brio users, please do not use the “Show Values” option whenever possible, because this option will slow down your query processing and your query may be “timed out”.
