Summary

Overview

The Non-Sponsored Summary report is a high-level overview by commitment item class, which includes any prior year balance, as well as totals for monthly activity and year-to-date balances.

1. Quick Reference Box

The Quick Reference Box is found on the first page of the report in the top right corner. This is based on actual revenue and expenditures (commitments are not included). A deficit value will be in parenthesis.

  • Prior year balance – Reflects the ending balance at the close of the previous fiscal year. A prior year deficit balance will be in parenthesis
  • YTD (Year-to-Date) revenue – Fiscal year to date revenue. If the amount is in parenthesis, it is decrease in revenue
  • YTD expenditure – Fiscal year to date expenditures. If the amount is in parenthesis, it is a decrease in expense
  • Month-end balance – This is the ending balance for the period reported in the heading. A deficit balance will be in parenthesis. This is not a budget balance and does not include commitments

The Month-End Balance is calculated by taking the Prior Year Balance adding YTD Revenues and subtracting YTD Expenditures. The example; the Month-End Balance is a negative number meaning the account has a deficit balance, a positive number would mean the account had a surplus.

2. Header Section

The Header Section provides identifying information about the non-sponsored cost object from SAP Master Data such as:

  • Fund Center
  • Funded Program
  • PI for Funded Program (this is the name of the Faculty member that receives the report, this is updated by [email protected])
  • Responsible Person (this data is based on SAP Master Data and must be updated using the Master Data Request Tool, it is not related to the report distribution)
  • Business Area
  • Fund
  • Fund Type
  • Function Group
  • Financial Function

Updates to a more meaningful name are allowed as it pertains to the fund center or funded programs. The department should use the Master Data Request Tool in SAP to initiate the change process.
