For "shared" employees, you may not be able to submit labor redistribution requests when salary needs to be corrected - the Hiring Org column on this report shows the employee's hiring org. This can help you determine who to contact in order to request assistance with processing labor redistributions affecting your index.
FNRMBTA - Main and Branch Transfers Allocation

FMRFAQR - Finance Approval Queue Inquiry Report
  • This report is specific to Banner Finance Approval Queues; users must have Banner Finance access to be an approver.

FOGOPER - Operating Ledger Guided Ad Hoc (Data Extract)

Monitoring Restricted Indices (Contracts & Grants) - These reports can assist you with tasks specific to Contracts & Grants

FRRCGES - Contract and Grant Ledger Executive Summary

FORFAPI - F&A Generated by PI
  • Displays the total F&A generated by your organization or by PI.
  • Recently added the ability to query by PI.  Note that this is by the Principal Investigator - if your faculty member is a co-PI, indices will not be reflected on his/her report.  Many departments return a portion of F&A generated to the PI; this report provides you with the starting point for your calculations (the percentage distributed to the Colleges, the percentage of that distributed to your department, and your department's percentage distributed to PIs will then need to factor into your calculations).  Can also be useful as an indicator of faculty performance in terms of how much F&A is being generated by individual faculty members.
FRGGR90 - Closeout Workflow for Funds Ending on Contracts and Grants
  • Quickly check the closeout status on your awards.
  • You can only run this for Main or HSC Campuses, so it is highly recommended that you choose to display ORG CODE when running this report.  If you output to HTML Active Report, you can then filter based on your org code.  Choosing AGING will help you prioritize which closeout tasks to tackle first, as you'll be able to quickly tell which grants have ended earliest.  A negative number in the AGING column means that the budget period end date has not yet passed.  A positive number reflects the number of days that have passed since the budget period end date.  STAGE NAME will show the current status of the closeout.  When stage name includes the word "Dept" such as stage 1, 3a, 3b, 5b or 8 does; those awards should be in department's workflow queue and department needs to take action.
