Reading the Analysis of Expired/Overrun Accounts Report

The report is broken down first by profit center and then by project. The information listed below is provided for each project.

Column Name

Description

WBS Element

Displays the WBS element number.

WBS Element Description
Description assigned to the research project.

Expiration Date

The expiration date of the WBS element.

Authorized/Funds avail

An authorized total is the amount of funding from a research sponsor available to be spent on a WBS element.

The authorized total does not represent actual income to the Institute, but rather a promise from a sponsor or donor to support a particular project at an agreed-upon level of funding. In most cases, as expenses occur on the project, the sponsor or donor is billed and income is received to offset the project expenses. Eventually, this revenue will equal the agreed-upon authorized total for the project.

Cumulative Expenditures

Amount that has been spent since the beginning of the project.

Commitment Amount

Amount of outstanding commitments.

Overrun

Amount that the project is overrun.

2nd horizontal row

Column Name

Totals are listed after each project and profit center. If you selected include total for report on the entry screen, a cumulative total for the entire report is shown on the bottom.
