How would Owning Organizations track charges made to their Projects using data in the CAMS Portal?
The CAMS Portal will provide users with the ability to produce reports specific to their individual business needs, including the ability to track charges made to their Projects. The Reports Parameter Form contains a number of fields that allow users to specify the data contained on a report generated in the Portal. The Portal will make reports analysis easier by allowing users to specify the exact data desired in reports. Example: A user wishes to produce a report that shows what Organizations have made charges to a Project in a given Fiscal Year. To do this the user would select the Fiscal Year, Project, and Owning Organization as report parameters. This report would display detailed information for all charges made to the selected Project, including (among other data elements) the charging Organization, amount charged, and the date the charge was made. See the Organization Codes Fact Sheet for more information on how the CAMS Portal can be used to manage Projects.
