Oracle 11i Financials System / DecisionCast
Financial Management Project web page
Oracle 11i Applications are a suite of integrated financial software modules that are used as Carnegie Mellon’s system of record for all university accounting activities, capturing financial transactions for record-keeping, analysis, and financial management and reporting. The Core Oracle Modules include: General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Purchasing, Labor Distribution, and Grants Accounting. The self-service applications include: Internet Expenses - Expense Reports and Procurement Card.
The Financials Data Warehouse receives a nightly upload of data from the Oracles Financials System. This financial data (which goes back to July 1999) can be accessed by the DecisionCast end user tool. DecisionCast allows authorized users to tap into their Oracle Financials data by running reports and queries created by the Financials Systems Team.
