Secretarial Resources - e~Print
e~Print is a product that we use to move reports written in Banner to the
web. There are four repositories on our e~Print site, Daily Reporting, Month End
Reports, HR and Archived Finance. The HR repository is reserved for future use.
The other three provide valuable information that departments can use to manage
budgets, giving year-to-date information on your management and operations,
indirects, carryover and grant funds budgets. Note: Foundation funds are managed
out of the Division of Agriculture office in Fayetteville and are not part of
the e~Print reporting structure.
Daily Reporting - This repository is updated several times per day and gives
the most up-to-the-minute details on the expenses and revenues posted to your
budget. These reports become very valuable as you are nearing the end of fiscal
year or end of a grant year.
Month End Reports - The reports for this repository are loaded once each
month after the books for that month are closed. They give you a final snapshot
of the activity that occurred in a particular month.
Archived Finance - Once the fiscal year is closed, the reports for that year
are loaded to Archived Finance. These reports give you historical data to which
you can compare your current budget to see how much, more or less, has been
spent at a particular time in the year. It's useful when preparing for the
budget hearings for the next fiscal year and can highlight those expense that
don't always occur on an annual basis.
Each report loaded to the e~Print repositories has been provided in both PDF
and text. Most often, you will want to view the PDF version as it is easiest to
print. The text version is handy if you need to save the file to your desktop
and load the values to a spreadsheet [you will need to import the file into
Excel as having fixed length fields].
The drill icon that appears to the right of each report link will take you to
previous copies of the reports. This is most helpful if you want to compare two
month end reports.
To access your e~Print reports, you must have received authorization from
Financial Services. Use your Banner ID and password to access the reports at
http://eprint.uaex.edu. Before selecting Enter, verify the repository being
selected is the one you really want.
