The Reporting and Forecasting Tool (RAFT) shows Institute Fiscal Officers what has been charged to their Cost Objects and forecasts changes to those charges based on changes in their base budget. We have deployed and are updating RAFT Phase III. The live application, is located at https://raft-prod-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/.

Release Notes

RAFT PIII (RAFT 3) April 23, 2014 Release Notes

We moved an "improved forecasting screen and bug fix" release into production Wednesday night, April 23, 2014.
Changes for this release include:

Improved Forecasting Screen:

We rebuilt the forecast screen to make it faster and easier to use. Now People are in one table, all Expenses are in another, and Revenue is in its own grid, making it possible to see most of the forecast on one screen. We simplified the display of calculated indirect costs so that each grid shows its Actuals, Commitments and Forecast subtotals as separate lines. The calculated indirect costs are available by grid as well. After testing the new forecast screen, please send any feedback you have to raft-support@mit.edu.

Bug Fixes:

We made numerous fixes to the way data is fed into RAFT and the calculations RAFT makes on the data.

For upcoming changes please look in the Jira Bug List for RAFT3
Also, contact us via email at raft-support@mit.edu to request changes, or if there are reports you would like to see added.

} {panel:borderStyle=solid|borderColor=#fff|bgColor=#fff} h2. MITBI Initiative \\ h3. MITBI Financial Dashboards The ISN Reporting Solution provides a targeted tool for departments labs and centers to view the fiinancial health of particular cost objects at a particular point in time. It includes the ability to: * View PO/Edacca detail expense information * View commitments data * Chart Budget, Actual, and Commitments data * Download pre-defined account reports \\ h4. MITBI Financial Dashboards Project Scope \\ h5. Phase I: Refactor of the existing reporting code. The existing code provides basic cost object search capabilities including the ability to view the list of matching cost objects and view account details and drill-down into personell and expenses. This will include the following functionality to integrate into MIT's infrastructure: * Touchstone integration for authentication * Roles integration to limit access on cost object inform to those entries a user is authorized to access. * Data Warehouse integration for direct access to financial data stores (includes data loading from SAP and COEUS) * Integration with standard reporting tools \\ h5. Phase II Extension and development of additional functionality to support departmental needs. This includes: * Multiple Budgets from SAP Plans/COEUS * Ability to enter expense and person forecasts * Multiple forecasts per user per cost object * Ability to store and label search criteria for later reuuse * Ability to define project years/periods * Additional collection of standard reports * Multiple forecast versions \\ h5. Out-of-Scope * No Profit center (school/department) aggregations The only aggregations available are that a user can select a number of cost objects and view actual, budget and commitment numbers in aggregate across those cost objects. * Forecast aggregations` The system will not allow aggregations of forecast information at all in those situations where multiple forecasts have been entered into the system. * Direct entry of budgets into this system All budget information must be entered into SAP or COEUS. Development will proceed in an agile fashion allowing us to review and consider the inclusion of additional functionality deemed in scope as identified by the steering committee. \\ h4. Project History \\ To provide a little background on the project, this is a process that has been extended over the course of approximately 3 years. \\ h3. Other Project Resources \\ {panel} {div}
