Report Description

This report contains various types of information meant for departmental administrators who deal with financial systems or the general finances of a department. 

It includes information on departmental users of various financial systems (Unit4, Concur, CentreSuite), items pending in workflow in Unit4 (requisitions and invoices), and open purchase orders.

The key uses of this report would be to identify inactive users for whom a deactivation request should be submitted to Finance, to follow up on outstanding workflow tasks, and to identify open purchase order lines that should be closed.



Data Security

This report is subject to the reporting access data control hierarchy used in Unit4 (orgunit and above only). An individual’s position in the data control hierarchy will determine how much or how little information will be returned when viewing this report.

Department Administrators have reporting access at the org unit level and above.
