Common Salary Control Issues

Before reaching out to your Budget Execution analyst or putting in a helpdesk ticket with NC IBIS, check for the following:

  1. Beacon actions without IBIS Revision
    • If position action increases total salaries above what is budgeted, a revision must be submitted
    • If a Beacon action changes where an FTE is budgeted, a revision must be submitted
       
  2. One-sided position transfers
    • This can occur either on the Beacon or IBIS side
    • Any changes to an FTEs source of funding must be adjusted in both systems
       
  3. Position Tab and Requirements Tab imbalance
     
  4. Revisions that make annualized adjustments (7/1 effective date) to salary accounts must have matching requirement and position tab entries
     
  5. IBIS Revision without Position Tab entries 
    • If a revision does not contain position tab entries, the change will not be reflected in salary control in that fiscal year. Even if the requirements tab was completed. 
       
  6. Submitting Position and Requirements Tab entries on separate IBIS Revisions 
    • Using two separate revisions to account for a single salary adjustment increases the risk of misalignment between IBIS Budget in Salary Control and agency’s budget reports (RK325 and BD701) 
       
  7. Not submitting IBIS Revision to reestablish time-limited positions
    • Some agencies choose to budget time-limited positions on non-recurring revisions each year since the funding not available on a recurring basis  
    • Salary Control will not account for these positions until revisions are submitted to reestablish them
