Service activity Webi reports are now in EDDIE.
EDDIE is the browser-based Business Objects environment for running custom reports. It runs similarly to Webi but requires no installation.
Individuals involved with calculating service activity rates have found the service activity reports very useful. These reports pull the transaction data needed for a rate calculation. Using these reports as the basis for the rate calculation demonstrates that the information matches the university's financial statements.
There are four service activity reports available:
- Expenditures and Transfers
- Salaries and Wages
- Equipment Depreciation
- Fund Balance
