The Cognos and Oracle Tips & Tricks page shares various recommendations on navigating report functionality
- Use these parameters to filter for the data you want to view
- These filters can be used in combination or individually to produce desired results
- Here are the steps you show follow to view the report:
- From the report, enter the date range for the details you want to view.
- Search for your project number or key words in the project name. If using key words in the project name, change the drop down to “Contains any of these keywords.”
- Click the radio button for your selected project.
- If you want to see data for a specific task, click the reprompt button and then select the task.
- Use the Award Prompt to view details for an award with multiple projects.
- The Display Prompt allows you to select specific tables you want to see on the report. It defaults to 'All' which will display all of the tables. To view a specific subset of tables, uncheck 'All' and select the tables you want to view.
- The PPM tab will display different information depending on whether a sponsored or non-sponsored project is selected.
Additional detail
- After running the report, at the top of the page there are options to change the award, project, task, and period start/end dates.
- On Sponsored Projects, changing the Date Filter On option between Accounting Period or Expenditure Item Date will impact how costs are broken down in the Expenditures by Month, Cost Details, and Payroll Details
- Note that Oracle assigns costs to budget periods based on the Expenditure Item Date. There may be discrepancies between the costs per budget period in the Summary and the Expenditures by Month when Expenditures by Month are viewed by Accounting Period.
- On the Payroll Details table, Accounting Period filters by Pay Period End Date; Expenditure Item Date filters by Earnings Period End Date.
- When date filtering is by Expenditure Item Date, the Expenditures by Month table also includes an Average Cost column to help determine a burn rate.
PPM Header Information

- Refer to the Data Glossary under Get Started on the main BI & Financial Reporting Blink menu for searchable data descriptions and usage rules.
- See at a glance whether an award has animal or human subject protocols in place with the Y/N indicator at the top of the report.
- Awards may be temporarily extended in Oracle to allow costs to post while waiting for an amendment. See if an award is in a temporary extension status with the Y/N indicator at the top of the report.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
|
Why does the Burden Schedule Multiplier show different rates for different tasks? Why is the Burden Schedule Multiplier different from the award indirect cost rate? |
A burden schedule can be applied at the award, project, or task level. All awards have a burden schedule applied, but there may or may not be burden schedule overrides applied at the project or task level. The Burden Schedule and Burden Schedule Multiplier show the lowest-level information.
For more information about burden schedule overrides, see Understanding Burden Schedules on the SPF STaRT tool. |
PPM Project and Task Summary
The Project and Task Summary provides a high-level overview of your project with PPM based balances.
- The Summary for Non-Sponsored Projects displays costs on a year-to-date (YTD) or inception-to-date basis depending on the project classification. Generally, projects for annual operations are reported on a year-to-date basis and projects funded one time or irregularly are reported on an inception-to-date basis. Line of Service projects are reported year-to-date but include an informational column for Contract Revenue. Service Agreement projects are reported inception-to-date and include balance calculations based on both the Budget Balance and the Contract Revenue Balance. See Balance Calculations for more information.
- The Summary for Sponsored Projects can be viewed with or without Budget Periods and with or without Tasks:
- This report does not to display budget periods past the "to" date entered in the search parameters. To see the future budget periods, put in a date in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why don't my numbers match throughout each section of the dashboard? |
There are a few situations in which numbers may slightly differ among sections of the dashboard. Examples include:
The Payroll Reconciliation Toolkit provides great insight and links to other supporting documents for resolving payroll data discrepancies between systems or reporting. Also refer to the Correcting Discrepancies Between OFC General Ledger (GL) and UCPath Labor Ledger (DOPE) Job Aid. |
| What data is NOT included in the Payroll Details on my dashboard? | Expenses that post to Oracle from a system other than UCPath do not appear in the Payroll Details. These include, but are not limited to tuition remission, graduate and undergraduate student stipends and fees, NGN (Next Generation Network), and HS-TSC (Health Sciences Technology Services Charge). These items appear directly in the Cost Details section of this dashboard and may be associated with a person's name in the Oracle financial ledgers. |
Payroll Projections
Cost Type Descriptions
| Cost Type | Data Included |
|---|---|
| Personnel Expenses | Salary amount calculated based on data entered in UCPath, including compensation amount, FTE percentage, job status, and funding distribution. Projection ends at the earliest of the budget period end date, job end date, or funding end date. |
| Benefit Expenses | Calculated as Personnel Expense times the Composite Benefit Rate in effect for the person/job. |
| Operating Expenses | Includes Next Generation Network (NGN), General Liability Program (GAEL) expenses, and Health Sciences Technology Services Charge (HS-TSC). These are calculated using the Personnel Expense amount, the funding distribution, and rules in place for whether or not these expenses will be charged for a particular person on a particular funding source. |
| Tuition/Fee Remission | Calculated using the tuition remission rate in effect for the graduate student, distributed across all job codes where tuition remission is applied and across all funding sources. For example, if a student is simultaneously employed in a TA position and a GSR position, the full tuition remission amount will be distributed ratably across both positions, and further distributed between the funding sources applied to each position. |
| Indirect Costs | Calculated against Personnel Expenses, Benefit Expenses, and Operating Expenses using the indirect cost rate in effect for the award/project/task. |

Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How is it determined when to end payroll projections? | Payroll projections end at the earliest of the Budget Period End Date, Job End Date, or Funding End Date (entered in the UCPath Funding Entry). If any of these dates occur mid-month, the projection is prorated for the last month. |
| Are salary escalations applied? | Personnel Expenses are determined based on data in UCPath. If a future compensation rate change has been entered in UCPath, it will be captured on the report. The report does not artificially escalate salaries. |
| Will the projections capture future-dated funding changes? | Yes. If a future dated Funding Entry has been entered in UCPath, the report will capture the funding distribution change. |
| How can changes be made to the payroll projection end date? | The payroll projection extends through the earliest of the Budget Period End Date, Job End Date, or Funding End Date. The latter two of these dates are entered by departmental personnel in UCPath. If a person is leaving the position or will move to a different funding source at a future date, the Job End Date or Funding End Date can be updated in UCPath. Changes in UCPath will be reflected in the Payroll Projections the next day. |
