Foundation Reports

You must have BOTH of the following accesses before you can run any Bear Finance Reports:

    • Fund/organization access to specific budgets. Please check your access.
    • Argos access (under the finance folder).

Argos access is granted separately from Fund‐Org access and controlled by the Information Security Office. Being granted Fund/Organization (Budget) access (Approver, Originator, or Viewer) does not automatically provide access to run the Argos Bear Finance report. To request Argos Finance access, users MUST send an email to InformationSecurity@MissouriState.edu. 

All reports below use ODSPROD database connection, so you must use your ODSPROD password to connect and run the report.

If you cannot remember your database password, you can change it by changing your database password. If you cannot remember the username for your Database Account, contact the Help Desk and they can provide it to you. Your database user name is the same for both PROD & ODSPROD and usually your first initial followed by your last name (example BBEAR for Boomer Bear). If your database account displays an error message that the account is locked, please contact Information Security Office for assistance with unlocking at informationsecurity@MissouriState.edu

Foundation reports are designed to reflect activity within the Foundation's various Fund types and include financial information at various levels of account detail by Fund and Organization. Fund and Organization selections may be made for either an individual Fund or Organization code, or for one of the hierarchical "roll-up" Cost Center, Division, or Department group codes. If a group code is selected, all areas within that group will be reported individually with totals for each division. Any information returned will always be based on authorized Fund/Organization access.

Unrestricted Fund Reports include Budget-to-Actual comparison reports for the Foundation's Unrestricted Fund (FA2000). Budget information is provided by Departmental Organization. An Organization code, Fiscal Year, Month and Campus (Springfield or West Plains) must be specified. Reports include Adopted Budget, Permanent and Temporary Budget Adjustments, YTD Activity, Encumbrances and Remaining Balance Available. The Transaction Summary report will also include Budget Pool totals for reference as well as a Current column to easily identify transactions occurring within the reported period.

Restricted and Endowed Fund Reports include Activity and Balance reports for the Foundation's Restricted (FN) or Endowed (FS) Funds. Activity and balance amounts are provided by Departmental Organization for each fund reported. A Fund and Organization code must be specified, along with the Fiscal Year and Month. Reports include Fund Balance Forward, Revenue, Expense and Transfer Activity, Balance Encumbered, and resulting Fund Net Assets Balance.

Restricted Grant Fund Reports include Budget-to-Actual comparison reports for Foundation's Grant (FG) funds that require cumulative balances over the life of the Foundation Grant funds and may span fiscal years. Budget information is provided by Departmental Organization for each fund reported, and may include all funds associated with a grant or optionally a single fund or group of funds. Either a Grant ID - OR - a Fund and Organization code must be specified, along with the Fiscal Year and Month. Reports include Adopted Budget, Permanent and Temporary Budget Adjustments, "Inception-to-Date" Activity, Encumbrances and Remaining Balance Available. If requested by Grant ID, a total for the Grant will be included. For Fund/Organization reports, totals by Cost Center - Division will be included. The Transaction Summary report also includes a Current column to easily identify transactions occurring within the reported period.
