Overview

The Summary Statement is a monthly report listing transactions posted against a cost element group, individual or consolidated groups of profit centers, projects, or cost objects. The report displays information for the current month, the fiscal year-to-date, and over the life of the cost object. This information can be viewed either against the current Institute budget or a departmental budget plan. The advantage of running the Summary Statement on-line is that the data is reported in real time.

The Summary Statement is composed of three levels of financial detail: the Transaction Totals, the Transaction Listing, and the SAP source document.  

  1. Transaction Total level
    The main report screen displays transaction totals for the cost element group, cost object, project, or profit center.
  2. Transaction Listing level
    Click on amounts under Budget, Current, Fiscal YTD, Cumulative, and Commitment to see a detailed list of transactions used to calculate the transaction total.
  3. SAP Source Document screen
    Shows individual source documents for a transaction listed on the Detail Listing level.

You can move through the levels by clicking on an amount under some of the columns on the report.
