B.The Personnel Data Module (PDM)
 

The PDM is an analytical tool for distributing an individual's full time equivalent effort and compensation across the activity structure based upon a person's activities during a previously determined time period. The PDM provides the means by which personnel units (such as FTE or contact hours) and compensation (salaries and benefits) are spread to the various instructional and support activity centers.

The PDM produces five different reports. The EDIT REPORT contains informational and error messages relating to the data input to PDM. The PERSON REPORT lists the activities in which each person is engaged, the number of person units (FTE or contact hours) associated with each activity, and the amount of compensation attributable to each activity. The CONSUMPTION REPORT shows, for each activity center, institutional general ledger accounts that support the personnel performing those various activities. The CONTRIBUTION REPORT reverses the order of the data and shows how each institutional general ledger account contributes or supports the various activities in which personnel are engaged. A series of percentages are displayed in the CONTRIBUTION REPORT relating to the percent of a particular funding account that supports a particular activity. These percentage figures are vitally important in terms of distributing institutional expenditures from the general ledger to the activity structure. The percentages are input to ACM, and constitute the CROSSOVER FILE. The payroll/personnel system and the Faculty Activity Analysis form are the input documents for the PDM.
