The Reconciliation Status Report leverages the Budget List Report functionality, providing an activity-to-date view of the reconciliation status for a pre-existing budget list or for a specific budget number in an adjustable three month timeframe.  This report gets its information directly from the Reconciliation Report and  is accessible from the MyFD reports dropdown menu, or via a link on the Reconciliation Report.

Working with  the Budget Status Report

To view a report:  Choose a pre-existing budget List with the ‘View List’ drop down, or enter an individual budget number to view three months worth of reconciliation status for budgets you have access to. If you do not have a budget list created there are two places to learn more:

  • Watch a quick 3-5 minute tutorial on Budget list creation
    • Take a look at the Budget list report page with full text instructions.

Reading the Report:

Each month indicates whether the budget is  open to expenditures and revenue or if it has closed and nothing further will post to that budget. Two columns beneath each month display the current reconciliation status for that month, the NetID of the person who set that ‘Status’ as well as the ‘Next Step’ in the process (as determined by the person who set the current status).  

Status information is obtained from the Reconciliation Report. The ‘Status’ and ‘Next Step’ hyperlink directly to that month’s Reconciliation Report (where the status can be set or changed), while the NetID links to the current UW Directory information.
