1. EXPBCNC01A - Operating Expenditures by Budget Center - Summary by Natural Classification Report
1.1 Description
The EXPBCNC01A report summarizes operating expenses by Budget Center. The intended audience for this report is Budget Center Managers and Fiscal Administrators. We are relying on the individual user Banner Finance Fund/Org security to display only the orgs to which they have security to view. This is a variation on the EXPBCNC01 requested by Mary Ann Hart where 'Total' in the account descriptions is removed and 'Total Other Expenses' are broken out by Account Type Level 2 code.
1.2 Queries
Report_Query_1 Query - Used to obtain amounts from the Operating Ledger view. These amounts are filtered by the Fiscal Year and Fiscal Period Prompt values. The amounts are also only obtained for just Fund 100 and Account Type Level 2 equal to '61','68','71','72','75','76','79' or '81'.
Report_Query_2 Query - Used to obtain amounts from the Operating Ledger view. These amounts are filtered by the Fiscal Year and Fiscal Period Prompt values. The amounts are also only obtained for just Fund 100 and Account Type Level 1 equal to '60'.

My Cognos 11.0.4 reports:
NOTE: Been using Cognos since around 2011.
NOTE: Most reports access the ODS unless there is a business reason to go against live data like the AR GURAPAY dump.
NOTE: FOMPROF security used so end users can only see what Funds/Organizations they have access to.
NOTE: I have a report with historical expense.
NOTE: JavaScript code put in new reports to automatically select the correct fiscal year and period.
NOTE: New reports have a last page with all parameters selected by the user.
NOTE: I have two cash reports scheduled to run.
NOTE: Use SQL Developer to check data in PROD and ODS to do comparisons, troubleshoot and be sure you are using the correct data fields.
NOTE: I have created technical documentation for all reports.
NOTE: I am familiar with the Data Cookbook, but don't have access to attached my technical documents. That is done by someone else.
In April 2013 the FRS and HRS Plus databases were migrated to ODS. I worked on the FRS databases. I used FOCUS to create Excel spreadsheets with the data to be loaded. This was done for each segment in the files, (000, 001, etc.). I gave the spreadsheets to another programmer who converted them to .csv files, then SQL loaded them to Oracle tables. We loaded detail data.
