A new Aggregate tab default view is now available. The new view: summarizes effort certification events by earnings period in one view, displays rows by Grant and Award Types (sponsor, cost share, Non OSP, Department Funded), and eliminates extra data displayed in the Details tab (for example, less relevant worktags, separate rows for each pay component, etc.).
The implementation of the new Aggregate tab view coincides with the June 2023 - August 2023 certification period published in early September 2023. It is also available for prior certifications but reports already approved do not need to be recertified.

As of Friday, September 1 , the "Managerial Trial Balance" report behavior will change when viewing equity balances.
Prior to the change, equity balances would calculate "beginning balance – net margin" to derive an ending equity balance. After this change, the equity balance on the trial balance will always reflect the beginning balance numbers. Going forward, you must take your equity balance and subtract your net margin from it (sum of Revenue and Expenses) to obtain the derived equity balance as of the date you run the report.
The "Flexible Payroll Expense Data" report allows users to customize worktags to display when reviewing payroll expenses. As of Monday, August 21 , the Tableau report interface for the custom worktag selection will be enhanced to improve the end user experience. Instead of users selecting the "select column" icon from the top right of the report, now all column selections will appear above the column’s headings and will remain displayed.
As of Monday, August 21 , a new series of reports will be available that offer insight into the amount of time transactions spent in pending approval steps during workflow. These transaction types include Requisitions, Spend Authorizations, Expense Reports, Miscellaneous Payment Requests, Supplier Invoice Requests, Supplier Invoices, and Purchase Order Change Orders.
For each transaction type, two different report styles will be available. The "Detail" reports will provide the amount of time the transaction spent pending approval from each approval step in the workflow, as well as the approving workers for each transaction. The "Summary" reports will provide a high-level overview of the average approval times for each approval step per cost center hierarchy. These summary reports will also be placed on a dashboard called "Business Process Approval Times - Finance/Supply Chain." See the full NewsLink post for more details.
The downloadable FDM worktag reference guide has been updated to include information on “Driver” and “Related” worktags and how they function. It is highly recommended for related worktags to only be used if that is going to be the associated worktag value 100% of the time. It is important to understand that related worktags will replace any worktag that may have been manually entered or populated from another driver worktag. For an Enterprise Interface Builder (EIB), if a worktag is not specified in the EIB but it is related, it will be added when the EIB is loaded. See the full NewsLink post for more details.
