A Classic Budget Report Now In m-Fin [1]

March 3, 2016 by Carl Sorenson [2]

Want a report that shows the budget, the whole budget, and nothing but the budget?  Try the new m-Fin PERSONNEL ROSTER AND DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET report now available for testing in Cognos QA.​  [29-MAR-2016 migrated to production.]

What is different about this new report

Budget shows up in many m-Fin reports.  Here is an explanation of how this new report is different.  m-Fin REVENUE AND EXPENDITURES SUMMARY and other basic financial status reports like it in m-Fin show the whole budget, but in summary.  They do not show individual positions.  m-Fin POSITION BUDGET and m-Fin POSITION BUDGET II do show individual positions but do not show the whole budget.  For example, these reports do not show revenue budget or operating expense budget.  In addition to budget, all of these reports also show actuals and some show encumbrances.

Our new report, m-Fin PERSONNEL ROSTER AND DEPARTMENTAL BUDGET, shows the whole budget, listing individual positions where they exist, and reports only budgets, no actuals or encumbrances.

What's old is new again

If you've been at CU a while you might recognize that this report isn't really new.  Yes it is new to m-Fin but something like it has been produced by CU in some form or another for decades.
