Update and Review the Second Journal Set (SJS)

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for updating second journal sets data in ctcLink.

Audience: Student Financials staff.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZD SACR 2nd Jrnl SetUp

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

On February 21st, 2024, the SJS Enhancement was officially completed and implemented in the Production environment. With this completion, SJS journals are produced nightly via a job ran by SBCTC. This means that colleges have access to daily journals.

It is also important to note:

  • SJS Item Types are view only. To edit and/or create a new SJS Item Type, please submit a ticket to SBCTC.
  • At strategic times during the year (i.e. end of fiscal year, beginning of new grant year), colleges will be given access to update their SJS activities and projects.
  • If a project is populated without an activity, it will not allow you to save it.
  • Analysis Types will be on every line of your journal. However, the system will only recognize those lines associated with cost-collected grants and will ignore all other lines.

Queries
  • QCS_SF_ACCTNG_LN_SJS - Similar to SF_ACCTNG_LN, lays out the detail of the student's transaction for the day.
  • QCS_SF_ACCTNG_LN_W_PROMPTS_SJS - Allows users to review based on certain GL Chartfield values.
  • QFS_GL_ACCOUNT_ANALYSIS - Allows users to review data from posted Journals and has several search criteria available such as chartstring, dates, and the journal ID. However, it does not give detail information such as student id or item type used.
  • QFS_GL_JRNL_ANALYSIS_ALLSTAT - This query is similar to QFS_GL_ACCOUNT_ANALYSIS. However, in QFS_GL_account_analysis, only journals that are posted are returned. With QFS_GL_JRNL_ANALYSIS_ALLSTAT, this query pulls up data for all journals regardless of posting status.
