The BG@100 office is in the process of finalizing the FMS Project Scope document and the high-level project plan. There are
two FMS areas where additional analysis must be done to complete these two documents. The first is Grant Management, where
members of the project team are working with representatives from SPAR and Grants Accounting Offices to evaluate the implementation
alternative for this FMS module. The second is Budgeting, where members of the project team are analyzing implementation time
frames for this module. It is expected that these efforts will be completed in the upcoming weeks and the documents will be
submitted to the Executive Steering Committee.
The Chart of Accounts design is being tested and evaluated by members of the project team. The preliminary design is being
loaded in a test environment and BGSU business processes will be simulated in the environment as a proof of concept. Once
the proof of concept testing is complete, the design will be submitted to the Executive Steering Committee.
The BG@100 project team continues to gather information regarding the financial interfaces that must be maintained in the
FMS system. Over 70 interfaces have been identified within the AFIN system and each of the interfaces must be evaluated.
The BG@100 project team continues to conduct data mapping sessions as part of the AFIN to FMS conversion planning. As data
mapping is completed for each FMS module, review sessions will be scheduled where the data modeling results will be presented
to subject matter experts.
The BG@100 project team continues evaluating the financial system reporting requirements. This evaluation process will result
in the identification of reports required for regulatory reporting and reports required for conducting the University's financial
business. The project team will then proceed with the development of the reports that are identified as required.
