FINAH-ProjectUnprocessedCost-View
BIA and the BFS Reporting Team would like to introduce the FINAH-ProjectUnprocessedCost-View. This view will allow report developers to look into the unprocessed costs table. Unprocessed costs are created when subledgers or users create PPM transactions that cannot post as written because a data element is missing (i.e. POETAF requires a funding source and none was given) or a project is not in Active status, or the expenditure date is outside the project/task start and end dates, etc. The transactions post to an unprocessed costs table, which transaction creators must review, make corrections, and repost the costs. When the unprocessed costs are processed, they are removed completely from the unprocessed costs table.
Q: What is an unprocessed cost?
A: When departments charge a project that may be closed the charge cannot be processed so it becomes an unprocessed cost.
This view will be part of the FINAH Core views and go to production in June 2025.

UAT - Customer Service Reminder
Data in UAT is not ready to be shared with end customers, is not considered completely validated and can change suddenly. For optimal customer satisfaction, do not connect your production solutions to packages / data sources that are in UAT. If you choose to share UAT items with end customer, be explicit that the data and report is in UAT and can change suddenly or be broken by UAT changes.
Follow our Enhancement User Acceptance Testing (UAT) Steps
Use this UAT time to adjust your reports as needed prior to the Production release where your customers will be able to see any issues these enhancements cause.
Cognos: Use the packages in Cognos DEV > Student Activity Hub > Student Activity Hub Packages UAT to build your report and select Hana QA. Do not select Hana Prod as the report will fail. Using Hana QA will allow you to see the below enhancements with Production data.
Tableau: Sign into Tableau on your Tableau desktop tool and open your report. Add a new data source with the same name and -QA at the end of the title. Using this data source will allow you to see the below enhancements with Production data.
Hana QA: SAH data in Hana QA is production data loaded daily, just like in Hana PROD.
If you find an issue, please include in your email to busintel@ucsd.edu the following:
What browser are you using?
What environment are you using? Cognos DEV, QA or PROD? Or Tableau?
What data source / package are you using?
What results were you expecting?
Reminder: QA data sources will be deleted the Friday after the enhancements are migrated to Production.
