FAQ Answer

I want to be able to run reports for my organization, and also see grant and protocol information where my organization is the Responsible Organization. How can I get access to the data I need?

 

The data you have access to in the different reports will vary depending upon whether you have BEN Financials and/or Salary Management access, and whether you are the Principal Investigator for an award or protocol. In particular:

Financial and Salary Management Reports

Individuals with access to the BEN Financials and / or Salary Management online systems are granted access automatically to the financial reports to view the data they are authorized to view in BEN Financials and Salary Management. For example, BEN Financials users may run the Budget / Actual Variance Reports for any organizations for which they can perform account inquiry or reporting functions in BEN Financials. Similarly, users with Salary Management online access will be able to view employee payment detail (where available in the financial reports) and run the Employee Funding and Employee Payment reports for those organizations to which they have access in Salary Management.

Those individuals who do not already have access to these source systems, and who only want to be able to use BEN Reports (rather than BEN Financials and/or Salary Management), must complete BEN Financials Chart of Accounts training and submit the BEN Reports authorization form (available in PDF format at http://www.upenn.edu/computing/da/dw/benreports/Formbenrpts.pdf). Chart of Accounts training schedules and registration information are available at http://www.finance.upenn.edu/ftd/.

Protocol Reports

Principal Investigators will be granted access to their own research protocols.

Business Administrators and others with a business need to view protocol status information must request access using the BEN Reports authorization form (PDF format).

Grant Reporting and Management System (GRAM)

Principal Investigators will be granted access to their own projects.

Business administrators and others with BEN Financials and Salary Management access will be able to view GRAM reports for organizations in their profiles for those source systems. For example, BEN Financials users may view GRAM reports for those funds managed by any organization (the Responsible Organization for the fund) for which they can perform account inquiry or reporting functions in BEN Financials. Similarly, users with Salary Management online access will be able to view employee payment detail for funds managed by any organization to which they have access in Salary Management.

Other users who are eligible to view grant data for a particular organization, and are authorized to view restricted data, but do not have BEN Financials and Salary Management access, must complete BEN Financials Chart of Accounts training along with the BEN Reports authorization form (PDF format). Chart of Accounts training schedules and registration information are available at http://www.finance.upenn.edu/ftd/).
