Modernization of Financial Reporting Project Announces Roll-out of Sub-ledger Content and Enhancements to CAPS Dashboards

The Modernization of Financial Reporting Project is rolling out sub-ledger dashboards during February and March.  These Oracle Business Intelligence (OBI) dashboards will replace their respective content on the Finance Tab in CREW. 

The sub-ledgers include Cash Management, Accounts Receivable and Procure-to-Pay (Accounts Payable).

The timing of the roll-out to users will be determined by each school-based engagement council.  Your local implementation manager can provide you with information on when you can expect content to be made available to your school.

To receive access to the OBI content, users must successfully complete a 45-minute tools training course.  We are pleased to announce that an on-line OBI Tools Training option is now available to the user community.  Users that prefer an instructor-led training session may register in PeopleSoft for course FSS170.

Earlier this month, the project team released updates to the CAPS content rolled out in December.  The changes include:

Dashboard(s)

Change

External Team

The “Company” prompt has been restricted to only include values for organizations that have projects. The prompt now filters out organizations that were set up but never associated with a project.

Building Selected Data

"Report Period" prompt changed to include the "Most Recent Opened Period" in the List of Values.

Capital Renewal Spending (Building Portfolio page)

Tonight, the project team plans to introduce another change that has been requested by many users and should enhance the “searching” experience.  Today, when a user searches for a value, the default behavior is for “match case” to be selected.  Going forward this box will be unchecked across the entire Oracle BI platform.
