eReconciliation

M-Pathways eReconciliation provides Statement of Activity (SOA) reconcilers an online option for verifying their unit’s and/or project/grant’s financial transactions.  With eReconciliation you can:

• Sort the transactions to help you locate transactions for reconciliation or information.
• Mark transactions as reconciled to provide “at a glance” status information for the transaction.
• Annotate transactions to provide additional information about the transaction and reconciliation efforts.
• Link to all transaction detail (e.g., payroll, student financials/financial aid, vouchers, and accounts receivables) from within one environment without needing additional system access.

To learn more about eReconciliation:

• See the Real-Time Financials: Resources & Consulting page.
• Contact a Financials Business System Analyst at mais.fin.contact@umich.edu.

Unit Defined Commitments

M-Pathways Unit Defined Commitments (UDCs) are departmental or project/grant expenses or revenues (i.e., encumbrances) that that the central system doesn’t know about (yet). UDCs, along with eReconciliation, allow you to see more accurate “bottom-line” amounts on financial reports. 
UDC data is made available to other departmental staff through other systems, including M-Reports.
To learn more:

• See the Unit Defined Commitments page.
• Contact a Financials Business System Analyst at mais.fin.contact@umich.edu.

Reporting Budget Ledger

The M-Pathways Reporting Budget Ledger is a method for units to upload non-Sponsored Funds budget data to be available for reporting purposes in M-Pathways (nVision) and the U-M Data Warehouse. The Reporting Budget Ledger, along with eReconciliation, enables “end-to-end” financial reporting capability through the centrally-supported systems. 
To learn more about using the Reporting Budget Ledger for all-funds budgeting:

• See the Reporting Budget Ledger page.
• Contact a Financials Business System Analyst at mais.fin.contact@umich.edu.
• See the Financials Data Dictionary for information about U-M Data Warehouse reporting from the Reporting Budget Ledger.
