KC System and how it feeds to SAP
• Sponsored Programs are created in MIT’s Kuali Coeus (KC) system• OSP establishes the record in KC and sends the Notice of Award (NOA) to
Departmental Administrator (AO, FO, etc.)• Certain items may trigger a “HOLD”, which requires further action before the
Award may become “Active” and feed to SAP. HOLD actions include:• COI Disclosures not complete, or not yet reviewed by COI Officer• COI Training not complete, or Training has expired
• When all HOLDs are cleared, Award is “Active” in KC, and feeds to SAP (late afternoon).

KC System and how it feeds to SAP
• The daily feed from KC to SAP generates the SAP 001 Report.• There are only two (2) recipients of the SAP 001 Report: “Addressee”
and “Supervisor”• The Supervisor is the PI on the KC Award• The Address comes from the KC Unit Administrator table (Profit Center in
SAP)• Where does the Addressee come from?
• Default: the “Administrative Officer” in KC Unit Admin for the Unit/PC receives the SAP 001 report• UNLESS there is “Other Individual to Notify” maintained in KC Unit Admin for
the Unit/PC, then the “Other Individual to Notify” receives the SAP 001 report (Administrative Officer receives nothing)
Research Administration Practices (RAP) Sessions 5.23.18 4
KC System and how it feeds to SAP
• Preferences for receiving the SAP 001 Reports are varied• Paper report – mailed to the Supervisor/Addressee• Email report – email is sent to the Supervisor/Addressee• No report – no report is sent to the Supervisor/Addressee
If a Supervisor/Addressee would like to change their SAP 001 report preferences, send request to [email protected]

Costing Sheet
Research Administration Practices (RAP) Sessions 5.23.18 7
v Costing Sheet determines the way in which Lab Allocation charges, Employee Benefits (EB), Facilities and Administration costs (F&A), also known as Overhead (OH), Research Vacation Accruals (VA), and Fund Fee, also known as the fund transaction fee, will be calculated and applied within a cost object. http://vpf.mit.edu/sap-costing-sheets
v Costing Sheet calculations are based on a series of rates:v Employee Benefits (EB) Ratev Vacation Accruals (VA) Ratev Lab Allocation Ratesv Billed (Institutes) Ratev Fixed Ratev Fund Feev Adjusting Rate
v Costing Sheet rates are determined by the negotiation between Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) and the US Government. Costing Sheet rates are maintained within SAP by the General Ledger and Operations (GLOPs) team.
v Costing sheet estimated calculations are available mid month and actual costing sheets calculations are posted on the fourth or fifth business day of the upcoming month.

Billed, Fixed, Fund Fee, and Adjusting Rate
v Billed Rate – Negotiated with and audited by US Government for the given fiscal year. Commonly known as the Institute Fiscal Year rate.
v Fixed Rate – Negotiated billed rate for the indirect (now F&A) costs in effect at the time of the initial award throughout the life of the sponsored agreement.
v Fund Fee Rate – The fund transaction fee is 10% and is generally applied to all non-salary direct costs (with some exceptions - most notably TA tuition) on funds (2-series to 4-series) accounts. Salaries on fund accounts are charged the current F&A rate, with the exception of faculty and student salaries.
v Adjusting Rate – Is the over/under recovery based on the rate stated on the account. The No F&A or Fund Fee adjusting rates requires the approval from the Provost Office.

Budget Column• Budget Column information is derived from the Award Budget Tool, a companion tool
of the KC System.
• The Sponsored Approved Budget information is entered by OSP (https://osp.mit.edu/grant-and-contract-administration/managing-projects/sponsor-approved-budgets-sab• For information how OSP determines the SAB, see OSP guidance here:
https://osp.mit.edu/grant-and-contract-administration/managing-projects/sponsor-approved-budgets-sab/determining-sponsor
• Once entered in the Award Budget Tool by OSP, the information feeds to SAP in the Budget Column• For guidance and information on submitting a SAB Change Request, see OSP guidance
