Finding a PDA balance
If you have the Administrative Reporting tile under Mosaic Home you can sign in to see PDA details/PDA balance
This could be an admin only tab
If you do not have access to this tile please email the ADM and/or pnb@mcmaster.ca who can provide all requested information
We can only use PDAs to reimburse if it is directly to that faculty member
For example: Dr. Faures student John purchased a hotel room for a conference that Dr. Faure has agreed to cover but wants to use his PDA. John would submit their reimbursement to pnb@mcmaster.ca and Taylor would choose one of your grants to make the charge against. Once the charge hit the ledger Taylor would perform a Journal to change the funds from the grant to PDA.
If Dr. Faure went to a conference and purchased a hotel room for himself then submitted a reimbursement request and asked to be reimbursed from his PDA that’s fine.
