Budget Access via ScotWeb Available Soon
dwaldron February 7th, 2007
Budget managers will soon be able to access real-time information about their budgets via ScotWeb. ScotWeb provides a substantially better interface to budget information than does the Colleague application itself. Perhaps most significantly, ScotWeb allows budget managers to view summary data on all the object codes within a particular account on a single web page. This summary information includes the total amount budgeted, the total of outstanding requistions, the total of encumbered funds, and the remaining budget. From the summary page, budget managers can drill in to see information from specific requisitions, purchase orders, vouchers and other primary source documents.
Earlier, IT and the Treasurer’s Office provided access to budget information via ScotWeb to the members of a small pilot group for evaluation purposes. The response of the pilot group members has been quite positive.
Individual setup is required for each budget manager to ensure that he or she receives access to the appropriate budget information. This setup is now underway and individual budget managers will be contacted as the appropriate setup is complete. Each budget manager will also be provided with appropriate directions and documentation at that time. Questions should be directed to Connie McCarty at x2199 or at cmccarty@wooster.edu.
