[Ucwsfiscal] UCPath 'Flexible Option'

[Steven McCabe]

Hello!

Ive been asked to attend a UCPath SCT Redesign session tomorrow (11/30/22)
at 3:30pm in order to defend UCB's request to be able to split only a
portion of a paycheck for workstudy.  This request has been partially
implemented as a 'Flexible Option' but it does not satisfy our original
ask, and it sounds like representatives from several campuses are pushing
back on it.

I do not think the design sessions have many/any Financial Aid people
there, so *if you think it would be a good idea to be able to partially
split a paycheck, please let your ucpath representative know before 3:30
tomorrow.*  I think the jira is UCP-123336.  Basically, our proposal is
that the SCT system should allow us to use ApplyWS on some lines in an SCT
and Leave As Is to others.

Here is a scenario:

   - Student fully earned workstudy
   - Student then got an outside award and now we need to reduce workstudy
   to stay within Need

If we do not a working Flexible Option, *the proposed "work around"* is
this (which can *span several weeks* to fully complete):

   1. Reverse the split paycheck using "Remove WS"
   2. Wait for that SCT to process
   3. Reduce the award via the I-159
   4. Resplit the paycheck using "Apply WS"

*Our proposal will allow us to address this in one SCT:*

Example:
$310.52 split in this paycheck, but we need to reduce earnings to $300 to
make room for the new scholarship

Original SCT Lines:
W $217.36
D $93.16

Modify to:
$300 - "ReApply WS" (use D chartstring)
$10.52 - "Leave As Is" (use D chartstring)

Anyhow, apologies for the long email.

Thanks!
Steve
