Financial Account Management System (FAMS)
Overview:
Welcome to the Financial Account Management System (FAMS). After Financial Support
Services establishes an employee as an account sponsor, this application allows the account
sponsor to designate proxy access to financial accounts within the Human Resources
Management System (HRMS) via the Internet. With the implementation of FAMS, account
sponsors will no longer be required to contact Financial Support Services to do the following:
9 Assign a proxy to an account

9 Edit and delete proxy access
9 Provide the proxy authority to approve Personnel Action Forms (PAF)
9 Grant the proxy access to run reports in PeopleSoft
9 Allow the account sponsor’s proxy the ability to designate other
employees as account proxies.
Proxy Roles & Descriptions:
9 PeopleSoft Reports – Proxies who are granted this access will be allowed to run
reports on designated accounts, such as: Payroll Extracts, Position Control, Paid
Leave, Extended Sick Leave, and Fringe Benefit Billing
NOTE: In order to run PeopleSoft reports, the proxy must be assigned to the
“Departmental User” or “Reporting” roles in PeopleSoft.
9 PAF Approval – Proxies with this access will be allowed to approve personnel action
forms (PAFs) on behalf of the account sponsor for the selected accounts.
NOTE: The new On-line Personnel Action Form will be available in the Spring
of 2005.
9 Create Proxies – This functionality allows proxies to assume the same authority level
as the account sponsor. Proxies who are given this role will have the ability to create
other proxies. In addition, individuals with this access may assign security allowing the
newly created proxies to approve personnel action forms, run PeopleSoft reports, and
grant other proxies the access to create additional proxies.

Overview:
Until a proxy is assigned, only the account sponsor can assign roles in the Financial

sponsor may provide the proxy with the authority to delegate roles. These roles include
the ability to run PeopleSoft reports, approve Personnel Action Forms (PAFs) and approve
other proxies.
