Budget authorization report offers new on-demand option

The NIMBUS budget system now provides the option to run budget authorization reports on demand from a convenient web interface. As an alternative to receiving monthly reports from the budget office via email, this new capability offers new data selection options.

Noteworthy features include:

• Reports can be generated for specific cost object;
• Data can be retrieved according to addressee, supervisor or school;
• The fiscal year and period can be adjusted;
• Reports can be printed or exported to Excel.

Account addressees and supervisors may still elect to receive PDF reports from the budget office via email. The budget office sends such reports on a monthly basis, whenever authorizations change. The reports provide details about authorization changes and a snapshot of the total budget for the affected cost object.

Please contact your budget officer or email budget-reports-requests@mit.edu with any questions.
