- Award Lines Overview
Our Reporting User Group is currently working on a Day in the Life FAQ on reporting. This guide will match up 1-2 reports with the most frequent daily questions that fiscal administrators and business officers need to address. Our goal is to provide you with a slimmed-down digest of go-to reports selected by your peers. Target release in mid-October.
Note on the transition from commonly used UBI reports:
The Budget Balance Available (BBA) report previously available in Oracle/UBI has been retired because it was oriented around the concept of budgetary spending authority. In Workday, on all funds, we have moved to fully funding units in actuals and using budgets as the guiding plan. As such, you will see budget vs. actuals variance reports, fund balance reports, and a combination thereof in Workday and UBI. The reports below are intended to be used with Annual/Financial budget reporting, not Award or Grant reporting.
- Budget vs Actual by Cost Center
- Sources and Uses Budget vs Actual with Balances
- Fund Balance by Cost Center
- Fund Balance by Assignee
- Grant Balance Available
- UBI - Workday Budget vs Actuals - this report can be customized to meet individual needs (should not be used for Awards/Grants)
The best replacement for the UBI GA Analysis (Actuals) or (Commitments) reports is the Workday Spend Details Report or the UBI Workday Journal Lines Report. There is also a Revenue Details Report. The UBI app contains Actuals for both Income Statements (Revenue, Expense, and Transfers) as well as Balance Sheet ledgers. It also contains Commitments and Obligations. The UBI Workday Journal Lines report can be customized to meet individual or unit needs.
For Award and Grant reporting, the following reports are recommended for general reporting - the Grants Management Spotlight report lists many additional reports:
- Award and Grant Details Composite
- Award Budget vs Actual
- Grant Balance Available
- Grant Budget vs Actual
- Grants Expenses Reconciliation
- Spend Details Report
- UBI Workday Journal Lines
We do not currently have an Award/Grant Budget vs Actuals app in UBI but it is on the roadmap for mid-fall.
