Section Objectives
At the end of this section, you should be able to:
• Discuss the basic concepts of vendors within IS Purchasing and Payables.
• Add a new vendor to the IS vendor file.
Vendors
Chapter 2 - Page 2
Vendors
In IS, every vendor or individual receiving a non-payroll check must be listed in the vendor file.
This includes vendors, employees, students, human subjects, student groups, etc. A tax
identification number or social security number is mandatory.
Add vendors using the Vendor Add form in IS to record information about individuals and
companies from whom you purchase goods and services.
• Required vendor information includes vendor name, tax identification number or social
security number, and site information for the vendor's addresses. Vendor name and tax
ID's cannot be duplicated and must be unique.
• When you enter a vendor that does business from multiple locations, you enter vendor
information such as vendor name, and tax identification number only once, and you
enter supplier sites for each location.
• Foreign vendors might not have tax identification numbers or social security numbers.
If that is the case you must put the word "Foreign" followed by the vendor name in the
tax ID field, such as "Foreign French Institute of Technology".
• Most other vendor information (such as payment terms) automatically defaults to all
sites.
• You may add vendors to IS, but you cannot change existing vendor file information.
Once you have added a vendor and click "save" you cannot make additional changes.
All vendor file changes must be handled by Procurement Services. Any changes you
wish to make to information in the vendor file must be made by using the vendor
change form in the UVA forms directory and submitting it to Procurement Services.

IS IS
Purchasing Payables
Two IS financial applications use the Supplier windows: IS Payables and IS Purchasing. Vendor
information is shared among these modules.
To enter a purchase order, IS Purchasing needs at least one purchasing site. IS Purchasing uses
vendor and vendor site information to enter default values such as freight terms and shipment
method for all of the vendor’s purchase orders.
The Vendor File/1099 Coordinator maintains vendor information. This person cannot also
process invoices or issue vendor payments.
Vendors must be in the vendor file before they are used in the IS for requisition, Limited
Purchase Orders, Purchase Orders, or Payment Vouchers. Invoices for new vendors added by
departments will remain on payment hold until the AP Vendor File/1099 Coordinator ensures all
vendor information is received and valid, and removes the payment hold.

IS Payables contains a hierarchy of options and defaults to expedite and control data entry.
Options and defaults set at one level automatically cascade down to all lower levels in the
hierarchy. Although you need to define these options and defaults only once, you can update
them at any time to change controls and defaults for future transactions. You can override
options and defaults at lower levels in the hierarchy.

Contacts Contacts Contacts
• For every vendor, an unlimited number of sites with different addresses and contacts
can be created. For example, for a single vendor, you can buy from several different
sites and have the payments sent to only one site.
• You can designate vendor sites as one of the following types:

− Pay Site: You can only enter an invoice or a payment voucher for a vendor site that
is designated as Pay Site.
− Purchasing Site: You can only create purchase orders in a Purchasing Site.
• For every vendor site, you can enter contact information (name, address, and telephone
number) specific to that site. If you have an e-mail address, you should use the field to
enter this information.
Vendors
Chapter 2 - Page 6
Vendors
Avoiding Duplicate Vendors
Before adding a new vendor to the vendor file, verify that the vendor does not already exist in
the system. This verification eliminates the possibility of having duplicate vendors and invoices
in the system and improves the system performance. You can check whether a vendor is in IS
already by searching for the vendor name or tax identification number.
Employees and Students in the Vendor File

You do not need to individually add employees or students to the vendor file. There is a
conversion and on going interface with the Human Resources System to automatically add all
employees as vendors. Another interface is used to automatically add all students. Look for the
"HR" or "ISIS" prefix in the vendor ID number field to distinguish between traditional vendors
and employees or students.
Your IS responsibility may give you access to personal information about employees and
students. It is critical that you only use or review information that is necessary for you to do
your job. Students are protected by a federal law that prohibits the University and its employees
from sharing any student information with any outside parties. Many students have chosen to
include a privacy flag on their records to designate that they do not wish to have their personal
information shared with anyone. The descriptive flexfield in the vendor record of such students
is marked with a "Y" to designate the additional level of protection we are required to provide.
You must not provide this information to anyone.

Adding Vendors
Both PO Requesters and PO Purchasers have the authority to add vendors. As soon as a vendor
is added to the vendor file, it is immediately available to use in a requisition, a Limited Purchase
Order, or a Payment Voucher. However, payments to newly added vendors are placed on
payment hold, until the AP Vendor File Coordinator reviews the vendor information, makes any
necessary changes, enters additional information, and releases the payment hold.
Entering Basic Vendor Information

When you enter the basic vendor information, ensure that you follow the standard naming
conventions and that all information is correct. For example, all vendor file information must be
entered in ALL UPPER CASE LETTERS.
You must include a social security number or Tax ID number, and site information. Contact the
vendor to obtain any missing information prior to entering the information in IS.

Processing Invoices
Responsibility
The AP Invoice Processor is responsible for entering vendor invoices, reviewing invoices on
hold, releasing holds, placing holds on problem invoices, and processing payment vouchers.
Invoices for New Vendors

Invoices for new vendors will remain on payment hold until the AP Vendor File/1099
Coordinator ensures all vendor information is received and valid, and removes the payment hold.
Payments for Invoices

The Prompt Payment Act (Code of Virginia, Article 2.1) requires that all state agencies pay at
least 95% of all invoices in 30 days. Agencies must report their prompt pay status to the State
Comptroller on a quarterly basis.
Invoices are processed daily in the order in which they (or other requests for payment) are
received. Invoices are paid on the system-calculated due date. The accounting entry to reduce
accounts payable liability and cash accounts is made at that time.
The University's standard payment terms:
• are 30 days from receipt of a valid invoice or receipt of goods or services, whichever is
later.
• are always "Net 30" unless the Director of Procurement Services establishes a pre-
agreed-upon contract with a vendor.
• are established by the Vice President for Budget and Management in accordance with
the state's Prompt Payment Act
Processing Invoices
Chapter 3 - Page 3
Processing Invoices
• are reflected on every payment, unless pre-agreed upon terms are established by a
contract
• can be changed only with the appropriate approvals
• always take precedence over the terms reflected on the vendor's invoice
Vendor invoices reflecting prices that exceed purchase order prices will not be paid and will be
placed on hold, except for invoices that fall within University tolerances, established by the
Director of Procurement Services.
Financial liability is recognized at the time payment is approved; that is, inventory and
departmental accounts are debited at the time Accounts Payable enters and approves the invoice.
The process charges the departmental account for the payment and credits the accounts payable
liability account.
Proof of delivery documents, for example, supplier packing lists or purchase receipt tags, are
filed and maintained by the receiver; they are not forwarded to the accounts payable department
for filing and reference.

Invoice Inquiry
You can find invoices to respond to supplier inquiries including questions about invoice payment
status, invoice payment date, reasons an invoice has not been paid, and total balance due for a
supplier or supplier site. You can also find invoices to make adjustments to them or to perform
actions on them such as approval or cancellation.
You can find invoices in the Invoice Workbench either by using the Find Invoices window or by
entering query criteria directly into the Invoices Summary window or the Invoices detailed
window. In the Find Invoices window, you can enter a greater variety of criteria including
invoice status and ranges for invoice amounts, invoice dates, and voucher numbers. You then
click Find to navigate to the Invoices Summary window, where Payables displays all invoices
that match your find criteria.
You may also review just the high-level information for one particular invoice.

Entering Vendor Invoices
When Procurement Services receives a paper invoice from a vendor, the mail clerk will forward
all invoices referencing a PO# to the AP Invoice Processor.
The AP Invoice Processor will enter the invoice information. The AP Invoice Processor will
enter and approve (or place on hold) the invoice according to the navigation instructions for
entering invoices matched to purchase orders.
After the review of the invoice, the AP Invoice Processor will approve the invoice, which will
make it available for payment. System tolerance will be validated during approval. The AP
Invoice Processor will record the IS Voucher Number and the Delivery Location on the paper
invoice. The paper invoice will be copied and sent to the originating department to file.
If the AP Invoice Processor cannot approve the invoice (because of discrepancies, lack of
supporting documentation, etc.) then they will place the invoice on the appropriate hold. The
mail clerk will make one copy of the invoice: the original will be given back to the AP Invoice
Processor, and the copy will be sent to the originator of the purchase.

Once you have matched an invoice to a purchase order or processed an invoice not matched to a
purchase order you can review the invoices make adjustments as necessary. You can:
• Identify and resolve Matching issues
• Adjust purchase order matched invoices
Identifying and Resolving Matching Issues

You can review all holds by submitting the Invoice on Hold Report. Submit the Invoice on Hold
report for all holds or specify different parameters to narrow down the list. The AP Invoice
Processor must run this report to see Payment Vouchers and invoices on hold that require
problem resolution.
You should run the Invoice on Hold Report each day to identify which invoices are on matching
or other holds. Running this report will be covered in the section on Problem Invoice
Resolution.
QuickMatch Invoices
You can use QuickMatch to enter invoices when you know the entire invoice amount matches
the entire PO amount.
Enter QuickMatch as the invoice type if you want to match an invoice to all shipments on a
purchase order. When you enter a QuickMatch invoice in the Invoice Workbench, IS Payables
prompts you to enter the purchase order number and automatically enters the vendor name,
vendor number, site, and the purchase order currency for the invoice currency. When you
choose the Match button, IS automatically matches to each shipment. You can choose to
complete the match or override the matching information.

Processing Invoices - Credit Memos
Credit Memos
A vendor will issue a credit memo in response to the return of discrepant goods or over billing.
When a credit memo is received, the Invoice Processor will enter the credit memo using the
same forms as entering an invoice.
Processing Invoices
Chapter 3 - Page 39
Credit Memos
A credit memo can be matched to either the purchase order or invoice on the invoice screen. It
appears that matching a credit memo using the purchase order match uses fewer screens to
complete the match. Both methods are shown in this document, Matching Credit Memos to
Invoices.
A credit memo can be matched as either of the following:

− a price correction
− or for returned goods.
If the price correction box is not checked, AP assumes that goods were returned and it calculates
the equivalent amount of goods returned based on the Purchase Order unit price divided into the
credit memo amount.
− For instance if the unit cost of an item is $5 and the credit memo is for $10, then the
quantity billed will be reduced by 2 units which will allow matching another invoice
for the 2 units that were covered by the credit memo. After the credit memo is
matched the quantity billed will be reduced by the amount of the equivalent units.
Note if you match a credit memo using the invoice match, the equivalent quantity for the credit
memo must be manually calculated and entered along with the amount of the credit memo.
A price correction matched credit memo does not change the quantity billed.
If a credit memo is matched to an invoice with multiple distribution lines you can either have the
system distribute the credit memo amount on a prorated basis or you can manually select the
amount to match to each line.

Section Objectives
• Discuss the basic concepts of Payment Vouchers within IS Purchasing.
• Demonstrate an understanding of how departments initiate Payment Vouchers and what

paper documentation is required
• Demonstrate an understanding of how departments resubmit rejected Payment

Vouchers

Chapter 4 - Page 2
Payment Vouchers
The Payment Voucher allows payments to be made without the prior issuance of a purchase
order, limited purchase order, or the use of the University Procurement Card. However, the
Payment Voucher has very specific uses and should not be used to circumvent normal
procurement procedures.
As of July 2001, the IS Payment Voucher will be the only method by which departments can
submit Payment Vouchers. The E-form Payment Voucher will no longer be available.
Unlike purchase requisitions or LPOs, it is not possible to electronically forward Payment

Vouchers in IS to a departmental approver. Whoever enters and approves the Payment Voucher
is the only system departmental approver. Other departmental approvals must be handled via e-
mail or paper.
Appropriate Use of the Payment Voucher

A Payment Voucher may be used for:
• Payments that require documentation of purpose or reason as required under the State
Department of Accounts or University policy and procedures (e.g., food, flowers,
framing, gifts)
• Reimbursements to individuals for small-dollar transactions that could have been

purchased with a Limited Purchase Order (LPO) or procurement card.
• Travel Reimbursements for official University travel, as documented on a travel

workbook.
• Reimbursements to petty cash custodians
• Other payments defined on the University's demand payment list for items where
competition is not practical (e.g., subscriptions, conference registrations)

Chapter 4 - Page 3
Payment Vouchers
Demand Payments
The demand payment list and related policies and procedures can be found on the Procurement
Services website at www.virginia.edu/procurement. The commodities listed on the Procurement
Guide list may be purchased directly from the vendor by departments and paid with a Payment
Voucher if these conditions are also met:
• the purchase does not require a vendor-supplied contract, and
• the purchase is within the dollar limits specified.
Generally, vendor-supplied contracts must be processed on a purchase requisition and submitted

to Procurement Services.
Procurement Services reviews all transactions prior to payment.
Review of Payment Vouchers

The AP review of Payment Vouchers depends on the Hold Type identified on the Invoice on
Hold Report.
The types of holds for Payment Vouchers include the following:
• Petty Cash Hold
Ensure that supporting paper documentation (Petty Cash Reimbursement Form) has been
received.
• Restricted Item Hold (includes Payment Vouchers for Travel Reimbursement
Ensure that any necessary supporting paper documentation (i.e., Travel Workbook) has been
received.

Chapter 4 - Page 4
Payment Vouchers
• Attachment Required Hold
− Wait for paper documentation (i.e., subscription, etc.) from department.
− Forward paper documentation to the AP Payment Processor
• Resubmit Payment Voucher Hold
Review to determine if appropriate corrections have been made.
Once the Payment Voucher is reviewed, the AP Invoice Processor can approve it, which makes it
available for payment, or place it on hold. If placing the Payment Voucher on hold, the Invoice
Processor will release the original hold and place it on "Voucher Returned to Department" hold.
The department will then have a chance to make corrections and resubmit the Payment Voucher
to AP.
If the AP Invoice Processor places the Payment Voucher on hold after the review, an explanation
of why it is being returned should be attached using the attachment function (the paperclip icon)
in IS.
This will be addressed in greater detail in the section on Problem Invoice Resolution.

Chapter 4 - Page 5
Payment Vouchers
Paper Documentation for Payment Vouchers
There are two types of Payment Voucher that require paper documentation:
• Travel Reimbursement - The Travel Workbook must also be submitted in paper form to
Accounts Payable
• Petty Cash Reimbursement - The Petty Cash Reimbursement Form must also be
submitted in paper form to Accounts Payable.
These documents may also be attached electronically in IS, but departments are required to send
in the paper documentation as well. The supporting documentation must be completed and
approved by the originating department prior to sending the paper documentation to Accounts
Payable. The department originating the Payment Voucher will maintain the documentation for
all other types of Payment Vouchers.
Accounts Payable cannot release Travel or Petty Cash reimbursements until this paper
documentation is received.
In addition to sending the paper documentation, the supporting documentation may also be
attached electronically to the IS Payment Voucher using the attachment function (the paperclip
icon) in IS.

Section Objectives

• Resolve problem invoices and release holds.

Chapter 5 - Page 2
Responsibility
The AP Invoice Processor is responsible working with the originator of the purchase order,
payment voucher, or the PO Buyer, as appropriate, to resolve problems with invoices.
The Invoice Processor is responsible for reviewing invoices on hold, canceling invoices in the
AP system and manually releasing holds where authorized.
The Accounts Payable Manager is responsible for authorizing the override of invoice holds in the
AP system.
Invoice Holds
There are four types of invoice holds:
• matching holds which are created when the invoiced item does not agree with the
purchase order information in either quantity or unit price
• system variance holds which are created when the header and distribution amounts do
not agree.
• other system-generated holds such as payment falls outside the open Payables period
• manual holds placed on the invoice in accordance with specific University policy
Manual holds on Accounts Payable invoices are required:
• when check requests and payment vouchers do not have the proper authorizing
signatures or require additional information.
• when errors exist in amounts or calculations in invoices, payment vouchers, or check

requests.

Chapter 5 - Page 3
• when payment vouchers are missing receipts or receipts do not match the expensed
value.
• when originator requests hold because of a dispute.
• for restricted purchases (can be manual or system holds).
Invoice on Hold Report

The AP Invoice Processor will run the Invoice on Hold Report daily to identify what invoices are
on hold and what payment vouchers have been submitted for payment.
The AP Invoice Processor may have to work with the Originator to obtain additional
information, documentation, or approvals to resolve the problem with the invoice.

The Invoice on Hold Report will list all invoices on hold, for both Payment Vouchers and
invoices matched to Purchase Orders. The Hold Type will be used to determine if the
invoice is for a Payment Voucher. Hold Types for Payment Vouchers include but are not
limited to the following:
− Petty Cash Hold
− Restricted Item Hold (includes Travel Reimbursements)
− Requires an Attachment Hold
− Foreign/Wire Payment Hold
− Resubmit PV Hold
− Voucher Returned to Department Hold

Chapter 5 - Page 8
Releasing Holds
Release holds from invoices to resume payment and posting of the invoices. IS Payables applies
some holds that you cannot release. You can use the Invoice Holds window to view invoices
with these holds, but you cannot manually release these holds. You must correct the exception
that caused Approval to place the hold on the invoice, then resubmit Approval to release the
holds. You can correct exceptions by updating the invoice or the purchase order.
There are three types of holds you can manually release:
• Supplier Site Hold
• Invoice Hold (includes holds on Payment Vouchers)
• Scheduled Payment Hold

Chapter 5 - Page 9
Once you have released a manual hold, IS Payables will not reapply the same hold when you
submit for approval.
There may be times when it is necessary to obtain AP Manager approval to override a hold on
the Invoices on Hold report. When this happens, forward the invoice information including a
copy of the invoice, any supporting documentation, and the Invoice on Hold Report. The AP
Manager will review the invoice, note approval to override on the Invoices on Hold Report, and
return the annotated report to the Invoice Processor.

You can cancel only unpaid invoices. You can cancel any unapproved invoice or an approved
invoice that does not have any effective payments or posting holds. If an invoice has a hold that
prevents posting, you must release the hold before you cancel the invoice. You cannot cancel an
invoice that has been selected for payment in a payment batch.

IS Folders
The use of folders in IS allows you to rearrange and sort data on selected forms. A yellow folder
icon in the upper left portion of the form identifies the form as one with folder options. Most
folders are found on inquiry forms, but they may also be found on data entry forms.
Using folders you may:
• Rearrange columns of data in the sequence that is most useful to you
• Increase or decrease the viewable width of a column
• Hide or add available fields
• Export values from a folder form to an Excel spreadsheet for additional analysis
• Save queries to use again without having to re-enter them

1. Select Folder → Open to load a predefined folder definition. Or, click the Open Folder
button located in the upper left corner of the folder block.
2. Select a private or public folder definition from the list window that is displayed, and click
OK to replace the current folder definition with the new folder definition.
3. Select Folder → Save to save any layout or query changes made to the current folder
definition or choose Folder → Save As to save the current folder definition under a new
name. If there are any pending changes to the information in the folder, you will be
prompted to commit the changes.
4. Click OK after you have completed the information requested in the Save Folder window.
If you save a folder definition to Open as Default and then open another folder definition and
save that second definition also as Open as Default, the second definition is reset as the new
default.

Chapter 6 - Page 4
If you modify a public folder definition in any way, saving it makes it a private folder definition.
This means that the public folder available to all other users has not been modified, but that you
have saved your own private version of that folder in a modified way.

Defining Query Criteria for a Folder

One advantage of a folder is that you can customize it to display only the records you want to
see. You can easily define and alter the query criteria for any folder and save that criteria in a
folder definition.
1. Run the query that you want, either by using View → Query Find or Query-by-Example. At
least one record must be retrieved for the folder to memorize the query.
2. Select Folder → Save As if you want to save this query criteria in a folder definition.
3. Enter a name for the folder definition.
4. Check Auto Query if you want this query to perform every time you open this folder
definition.
5. Click OK when you are finished.
When you save a folder definition, the query criteria is “locked in” to the folder definition. When
you perform another query on that same folder definition, you actually query on the subset of
records. If you want to perform a new Query-by- Example on the complete set of records, reset
the query for the folder definition.
IS Folders
Chapter 6 - Page 6
For example, if you enter a query to search for all purchase orders associated with your
organization and save that query in a folder, each time you open the folder you will only see
those purchase orders associated with your organization.

Resetting the Query Criteria for a Folder Definition

1. Select Folder → Reset Query, to clear the WHERE clause from the current folder definition,
but it will retain the current folder name and its field layout. To view the query criteria for a
folder definition, select Folder → View Query.
2. Perform another query and select Folder → Save to save the new query to your current
folder definition. To alter the sorting order of data in a multiple-record folder definition,
select Folder → Show Order By. This menu item acts as a toggle switch to display the Order
By buttons for the first three fields of a multiple-record folder block. The Order By buttons
appear beneath those fields that can be changed.
3. Click an Order By button to switch the fields to any one of three settings:

Reports (PDR)

Working with Pre-Defined Reports (PDR)

Chapter 7 - Page 1
Overview
There are three types of reports used with the Integrated System:
• Standard Reports - Contained in and run from their Oracle applications
• Pre-Defined Reports (PDR) - Created by developers and opened with Discoverer from
the Operational Data Store
• User-Defined Reports (UDR) - Created by users with Discoverer, shared with other
users, also run from the Operational Data Store.
Oracle's Discoverer is the only application that will open Pre-Defined (PDR) reports. It must
also be used to create User-Defined (UDR) reports or modify Pre-Defined reports to your needs.
Users with or without access to Oracle applications may use Discoverer to open the PDR or the
UDR. It is not necessary to run Oracle's financial applications for access to PDR or UDR.
The information you see in Pre-Defined or User-Defined Reports comes from a copy of the
Production database called an Operational Data Store (ODS). ODS data is refreshed once a day,
and will be at least 24 hours old in most cases.
You must have Discoverer installed on your PC to open and run PDR. Your Local Support
Partners (LSP) will have copies of the Discoverer CD and will install it for you. If your
department does not have a LSP call the ITC Help Desk (924-3731) for instructions on getting
Discoverer installed.
Refer to Integrated System homepage http://www.virginia.edu/integratedsystem/ and select

the Reports link for information on gaining access to the ODS.

Chapter 7 - Page 2
Use the link, Getting Started
http://www.virginia.edu/integratedsystem/gettingStarted/index.html to find out how to
request access to the ODS.
All users of Oracle Applications or Discoverer must establish a valid password with the first
login procedure detailed below
Note: You only need to follow these steps one time. If you have already changed your default
password for Oracle Application access, it will not be necessary to do it again for Discoverer
access until it expires. Oracle passwords expire in 45 days.
Note: Discoverer reports run on the ODS which is a copy of the Production database. Once you
establish or change a password in Production, it will take one day for the changes to be migrated
to the ODS via the refresh process.

Chapter 7 - Page 3
First Login
Open a browser and go to the Integrated System's Application Launcher to initiate your first
login.
• Click the Enter button.
• Close the System News window.
• Click the Go button next to Production and wait for the User Name and Password fields
to appear.
• Key your computing ID into the User Name field.
• Key the default password (received in email) in the password field then click the button:
Connect.

Chapter 7 - Page 4
• An information screen will appear telling you that the password has expired. Click the
button: OK.
• A screen will appear showing three fields; Old Password, New Password, and Confirm
Password. The Old Password field should contain the default password. You must
create a password for the New Password field (NOTE: see the section titled
Troublesome Password Characters before completing this step); then, retype it in the
confirmation field.
Click the button: OK.
• You have finished the first login. You should see the following screen. Your password
is now ready for use with Discoverer. Click the Action menu then click Exit Oracle
Applications. Close both remaining browser windows.
Troublesome Password Characters

When you create the new password do not include the @ or $ characters. Either of them causes
Discoverer logins to fail.
You will not get an error message from Oracle if you use these characters when you change your
password. This is because the other Oracle applications will accept them in a password.
Discoverer is the only Oracle application that fails to login when passwords contain these
characters.
Your password access to the ODS is based on the applications security implemented in the other
Oracle applications. This allows users of other Oracle applications to login either to the ODS or
the Oracle applications with the same user name and password.

Reports
Pre-Defined Reports have been created by Integrated System developers and can be identified
by their naming convention. The Report names begin with the characters IS, a period, two
characters identifying the module most of the information comes from, then an underscore
followed by the report's title.
Reports that begin with other characters are User-Defined Reports, created by an experienced
Discoverer user, and shared with others. The first 4-5 characters of the report's name are the
university computing ID of the creator, a period, and the report's title.
In the next several pages you will find step-by-step instructions with screen shots of the steps for:
• Logging in with Discoverer
• Opening and closing a Pre-Defined Report
• Changing the report's data display
• Saving a modified Pre-Defined Report

Discoverer - Opening a Pre-Defined Report
Certain Pre-Defined Reports are required for monthly financial reviews.
Refer to Monthly Expenditure Review of Project/Award Activity

[http://www.virginia.edu/finance/polproc/proc/1-4.html] for guidance on reviewing your
project/award activity.
There are several key points contained in the procedure, which are summarized below:
− Departments must review their activity at least monthly.
− Proof of the monthly review needs to be retained in the department. There must be
a reviewer’s signature and a separate approver’s signature.
− Departments are responsible for retaining original documentation (except for travel
and petty cash where copies need to be retained), and for making it immediately
available in the case of an audit.
− Finally, please remember that all questions should be directed to the Integrated
System Customer Support Center (ISCSC) at 243-7550.

Chapter 7 - Page 15

Chapter 7 - Page 16
Exporting to Excel
Discoverer offers a work environment that permits manipulation and formatting of the data in
your Pre-Defined Report. For example, column and row headings can be moved from one axis to
the other to achieve views of the data that might not be duplicated in Excel.
However, many users may need to share the data in Pre-Defined reports with others who do not
have access to the ODS or Discoverer. Also, many formatting, graphing, and sorting tasks are
done more effectively in Excel, as are several types of complex calculations. Discoverer 3.1
provides functionality for exporting all or parts of the Pre-Defined Report to Microsoft Excel.
When you export a Pre-Defined Report to Excel you will lose Discoverer's formatting (colors,
fonts, graphics) and its Page Item Detail features (i.e. the ability to drag and drop column/row
headings to other axes). Essentially, whatever data is on your screen at the time of export will be
included in the target file.
If you know you need to export data to Excel it's probably best to run the Pre-Defined report,
export its data without formatting, sorting, or totaling then use Excel's equivalent features to
complete the report.
Scheduling a Report with Discoverer 4

Users of the Operational Data Store may need to schedule one or several reports to run at another
time. Typically, this is done when:
• A report is needed on a recurring basis at a particular time of day or day of the week
• Reports that process large amounts of information must be run after normal work hours
(i.e. conserve computing resources, permit user to do other work during the work day)
Discoverer provides a tool for scheduling reports for execution at a later time.
IMPORTANT: You must have scheduling privileges to use Discoverer's scheduling

feature. You must request scheduling privileges from the ODS Administrator
(odsadmin@virginia.edu)
Once you have scheduled a report, you are the only person who can view the query and its
results. To share the results of a scheduled report requires saving them or exporting them to
another application.
This lesson covered the following topics:
• Login to the Operational Data Store with Discoverer
• Find, open, and close a Pre-Defined Report
