Overview
The Fund Analysis Report shows cost object activity for a profit center or a profit center group for types of revenue and expense cost elements. The cost objects include the SAP internal orders and WBS elements between 2000000 and 4999999. Principal (MIT's endowment) and expendable funds are shown separately. The report can be run either by profit center or by profit center group. For each cost object, the report displays pool units (today's value, not historical units), beginning and ending balances (for the specified date), gifts and other receipts, transfers, expenses, and other charges. The Fund Analysis Report is based on information available from the former GL53 report in the SumMIT system.

Note

You must have authorization to view specific cost objects or profit centers in order to run this report.
