BAIRS Report List

lineorang.gif (858 bytes)

This list of reports available in BAIRS is grouped in the same categories as the reports are in BAIRS itself.  Click on a category to read a description of the reports in that category. 

Note:  The reports you can subscribe to in BAIRS are determined by the your security setup.  If you are not set up to have access to Payroll detail, for example, you will not see the GL_Customer_Report or the Payroll_Exception_Report.  If you are not set up to have access to Permanent Budget data, you will not see those reports.  If you and your manager agree that your access should be changed, please complete and submit a Userid form.
 

GL Detail Reports
 
Customer Report*

 

Designed to provide a monthly statement to “customers” such as faculty Principal Investigators or Administrative Directors, this report consists of two primary elements:  1) a summary report which displays balances summarized by type of expense and 2) a detail report which provides backup at the level of the individual transaction.  The detail sections do not contain balances - only transactions.  And the detail sections only display transactions for the “current” period which is determined by which month(s) the report is run for.

The number of columns in the name of the report (9, 7 or 6) refers to the number of columns which appear on the summary reports in that version.  The detail sections are identical regardless of the number of columns in the summary sections.  Users are encouraged to view the 9, 7 and 6 column versions and then select the one that will best meet their needs.

Encumbrance Provides a list of purchase orders and Physical Plant/Capital Projects liens which make up your encumbrance balance for a particular chartfield or chartstring.
Detail Expanded Provides transaction-level detail, including POs, Reqs, Vouchers, and Journals.  In cases where a feeder system (like CARS) passes multiple entries per chartsting to BFS, the Expanded Detail Report will display each entry separately, whereas the Standard Detail Report displays the lumpsum amount per chartstring.
Pre-Encumbrance Provides a list of requisitions and soft-liens which make up your pre-encumbrance balance for a particular chartfield or chartstring.
Detail Standard Provides transaction-level detail, including POs, Reqs, Vouchers, and Journals.  In cases where a feeder system (like CARS) passes multiple entries per chartsting to BFS, the Detail Standard Report will display the lumpsum amount per chartstring.  Use the Detail Expanded Report to see each individual item from the feeder system.
Transaction Verification

Contains only those transactions posted to your org codes by another processing unit. Included in this report might be recharges, new grant/gift appropriations, and errors prepared in another department using your org code.  The report can provide your own processing unit’s PCard transactions as well

You define your "processing unit" when you run the report in the box labeled "Organziational Perspective for Exceptions." For example, if you accept the default L4 Department, anything prepared outside your department would be considered an exception and would appear on the report. If you work in a sub-unit within the department and want to view transactions which originated outside your subunit (even if they were prepared within the department), you can change the Organizational Perspective to either L5 Discipline/Group or L6 Sub-unit, as appropriate.

Unlike the Detail_Standard or Detail_Expanded reports, transactions in this report are only ones which require additional review for accuracy and appropriateness.  Typically this report would be run and reviewed once a month after close.

This range includes State, Opportunity, Student Fee, Sales & Service, Auxiliary and Reserve funds. If you choose to "ignore" fund, you will see all reappropriations for your unit. (If you choose this option, remember that contract and grant funds are "inception-to-date" funds and do not have reappropriations.)
