Hello Pam,

We've had the same pains with one of our institutes.  In our case it was
programmers who could be working on up to 10 different grants in a 2
week period.  We set up a pool account for 100% of their salary then the
dept. administrator sends us a breakdown of their work before month end,
which is then journaled to the various grant accounts.  We also use this
split to report of the Time & Effort reporting.

The caution is that this works because the dept. adminstator is right on
top of everything.  She use to be one of our grant accountants until
they stole her away.

Hope this helps,

Lois Smith,
Associate Controller, Sponsored Programs
The University of Akron
