The System Government Costing office is happy to announce that we have updated the resources available on the Service Activities page of the OBFS site.
The following resources have been updated:
- Rate calculation Excel templates and guidelines
- Business Objects Webi report templates
- Job Aids related to the Webi reports and templates
- EDDIE versions of Webi reports
Rate Calculation Excel Templates
- These templates are used for the preparation of rate calculations for 3E service centers.
- The new templates include several improvements to make them easier to use and add functionality.
Webi and EDDIE Reports
- These reports are used to easily pull current financial data from the University’s data warehouses.
- Job aids have been updated to match the new reports.
- The new SERFS report runs several reports all at once, making it much quicker to gather data and see the financial status of the fund. The acronym SERFS stands for the individual reports included:
- Salaries and wages
- Non-personnel Expenditures
- Revenue
- Fund balance, current and historical
- Sponsored projects revenue totals
The EDDIE system has the same reports as Webi and can be used in an internet browser without installing Webi on your local computer. The EDDIE reports can be accessed by:
- Go to the OBFS Home page
- Click the blue “Log in to:” box and select “EDDIE”
- Log in using your NetID and Password
- Select “Documents” on the upper left
- Select “Folders” on the lower left
- Open the “Public Folders”
- Select “OBFS System Government Costing Reports”
- Select the report you want to run, click the refresh button, and enter the prompts
We have received many comments on how helpful these resources have been for service centers. We hope that you will be able to make use of them!
