  14. Review of Organizational Hierarchy A = Chart 1 = Division level 10 = Executive Level 100 = College or Major Unit 1000 = School 10000 = Department 100000 = Data Entryable Org

  15. E~Print Repository 3 Reports

  17. Note drop down box: allows user to extract data by college, executive level or division

  18. Select College, Executive Level or Division as Required (example: selected Executive Level 12)

  19. Reports In Process: • GL versus SL Comparison - -Status: Budget Services finalizing report accuracy • Purpose: Report will allow Budget Office to identify funds where GL & SL do/do not • match. Specific fund types are identified in report comparison. Some • operating ledger balances should not match general ledger fund • balances. (Example would be auxiliaries. Operational budget is there • as guideline. Not intended to match as they do not want entire asset • pool available for current year spending.) • Funds identified for comparison reporting are contracts & grants (2A-2D), • restricted gifts, scholarships and fellowships (2G-2R), athletic auxiliaries (3C), • plant funds (9A-9J) and ACES Appropriations (2F). • Budget Office will run routinely to identify areas out-of-balance and • work with Controller’s Office, Bursar’s Office or department to correct.

  20. Reports In Process continued: Departmental Operating Summary (FRS 045 replacement) Report is about 80% complete. Will be available to users monthly in e~Print. Users will be able to extract data using Organizational Hierarchy (College, School or Department). Report will provide users with summary report of all fund-org combinations. Quick access to the available balances and fund balances by fund type. All unrestricted information will be summarized within a department, followed by contract & grant FRIGITD available balance & GL fund balance. Restricted funds, plant funds (including R&R) will follow. Report looks beyond just the operational ledger available balances.

  21. Other Report Needs If you have reporting needs, please provide a detailed sketch or marked up report lay out that can be forwarded to me for review (I will get with specific Business Office area to see if a report is already available or if there is consensus on need). Remember Banner has numerous ways to get to your data. If this is something you require routinely, perhaps an automated report could be created.
