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 are working on RAFT Phase II. The live application, Phase I, is located at https://raft-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/.

Release Notes

RAFT PII Release 10/03 Release

Changes:

Change	Impact
New Grids	This is an infrastructure change which includes the following impacts:
	Keyboard navigation (When entering data, you can hit tab to go to the next field without having to use the mouse.)
	Better grid performance
	Better/Mutli Sorting
	Column reorder (only active on some screens - ex. WOrkset Cost Object Details page)

New CO Balances	New Balance calculations in place. Details below
New Workset Balances	New Workset balances in place. Details below

Balance changes:

We have added new balance calculations when on a cost object or when looking at a workset (cost object group)

Cost Object balance changes:

We have added a toggle to choose between the two balance types. The formulae used for each Balance type are:

Budget Code Balance: Budget - (Actuals + Commitments + Forecast) = Balance for the specified date range. Which budget used is determined by the selection of the budget code in the upper right. For most users the default Budget Code will be 'COA' for Cost Object Award.

Institute Balance:
By Cost Object Type

Cost Object Type	Balance Formula
Project WBS	Authorized Total - Expenses = Balance
Cost Center	Institute Budget - Expenses = Balance
Fund (Not Sponsored)	Revenue + Expense = Balance
Internal Order (all others)	Authorized Total - expense = Balance

Consolidated Balances include children

Workset Cost Object balance changes:

We have added Insitute Balance, Institute Balance with children, Budget Code Balance,
Budget Code balance with Children, and Authorized Total to the Workset Summary screen.
