New Benefit Cost Transfer Tool Coming in October The newly redesigned Benefit Cost Transfer (BCT) tool is launching on Thursday, October 2, 2025. Please approve or deny all pending BCT transactions by Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

Features of the new BCT tool include:

  • BCTs will use the familiar Salary Cost Transfer (SCT) interface.
  • The new tool improves functionality to allow adjustments on a per-transaction basis.
  • You can filter transactions by chartfield elements, expense types, and deduction codes.
  • The new tool will optimize processing for faster transaction execution.
  • Paychecks prior to October 31, 2021, are not eligible for the new BCT tool. You will need to follow local processes (e.g., journal writebacks) to correct these transactions.

Action Items: Please approve or deny all pending BCT transactions by Tuesday, September 23, 2025.


Direct Retro: Next Steps The Direct Retro tool will be retired on October 1, 2025. Do not submit or approve any Direct Retro transactions between September 17 and September 30. Transactions entered during this period will be deleted by UCPath Center during the deprecation process. Beginning October 2, 2025, users will only be able to view previously processed Direct Retros in UCPath.
