Configuring the FUND_STATUS PS/nVision Report

Federal government agencies require one or more available funds reports for each TAFS/TAS that is subject to FACTS II reporting requirements.

To configure the FUND_STATUS PS/nVision report, use the Tree Manager component (PSTREEMGR).

This section discusses how to:

  • Maintain the FED_RC02_ACCOUNTS tree.

  • Define the FUND_BALANCE nVision report layout.

  • Request and distribute the FUND_BALANCE report.

(replaced by GTAS) FED_RC02_ACCOUNTS Account Rollup tree

Account tree FED_RC02_ACCOUNTS is delivered specifically for Fund Status reporting. Changes to the tree, including node description, account hierarchy, and so on, are reflected when you run the nVision report.

See PeopleTools documentation: PeopleSoft Tree Manager.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the PeopleSoft/nVision scope definition FUND_STAT. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

PeopleSoft/nVision scope definition FUND_STAT

The nVision Layout FUND_STATUS is processed with the Scope definition FUND_STAT, which contains Fund, Department ID, and Program Code as selection criteria.

For each unique combination of Fund, Department, and Program values, you can generate a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet based on the year-to-date balances in the Ledger table.

The following example shows the Microsoft Excel worksheet that lists the available fund information for Fund F200, Department 42000, Program P2000:

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Example of MicroSoft Excel funds worksheet. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Example of MicroSoft Excel funds worksheet

You can view this spreadsheet at three different levels corresponding to the levels in the FED_RC02_ACCOUNTS tree by clicking the 1, 2, or 3 button in the upper left corner of the worksheet.

Level 1 (button 1) shows only the four summarized totals:

  • Total Resources

  • Fund Distribution

  • Spending Activity

  • Balances Available

Level 2 (button 2) shows detail line items under each group.

Level 3 (button 3) shows the balances for each account, as defined in the account tree.

Use the nVision Report Request page (NVS_REPORT_RQST) to enter the criteria necessary to run a PS/nVision report (FUNDSTAT report).
