The Reporting Solution has a new name – MyReports. The MyReports project team is working with Subject Matter Experts across the campus to develop a robust set of “best practice” standard financial and operational reports that provide roll-up and drill-through capabilities. There will be three levels of reports – Managerial, Operational, and Transactional. The team is also developing easy-to-use tools to deploy to campus experts to perform ad hoc queries and analysis. The MyReports reporting tool will replace the Weblinks system.
The Hyperion Planning system is a Web-based tool being developed to aid annual planning and quarterly forecasting processes for departments, control points, and campus-wide. The Hyperion Planning project team has finalized the scope for Phase I Go Live in January 2014, and presented the details at the February Department Champions meeting. See also Hyperion Planning Q&A.
Champions have completed the first round of chartfield mapping to the new Chart of Accounts (COA). The COA team will run a mock conversion over the next month. Mapping will continue throughout 2013, with three more mock conversions until Go Live in January 2014.
