Data element Definition

ACCT_PER_INVOICE_DATED

Indexed - yes
Format - char (6)
May be null - no

The accounting period in which the INVOICE_DATE falls. The value is stated in MON-YY format. MON is the calendar month (stored in upper case), and YY is the calendar year.

The INVOICE_DATE is the date of the invoice, per the accountant in the Office of Research Services who created the invoice in BRIM.

Note: the beginning and ending dates of an accounting period are not the same as the first and last day of the calendar month.

Note: because the ACCT_PER_INVOICE_DATED is based on the INVOICE_DATE, there are no records for the ADJ period.

Example: SEP-02 (September, 2002, which occurs in fiscal year 2003).

ACTUAL_AMT

Indexed - no
Format - number (13,2)
May be null? yes

The summarized amount of the actual dollars for the line item (SB_OBJECT_PARENT) for the invoice (INTERNAL_REF_NO). This is the total of the ACTUAL_AMT of the BRIMFUND_OBJ_EXP records that were not included in other invoices and whose GL_EXTRACT_DATE falls between the EXPENSE_START_DATE and the EXPENSE_END_DATE.

See also BRIM_MASTER. EXPENSE_START_DATE and BRIM_MASTER. EXPENSE_END_DATE.

Values:

-99,999,999,999.99 to 99,999,999,999.99

BRIM_EXTRACT_DATE

Indexed - no
Format - date (7)
May be null? yes

The date when the BRIMFUND_SB_EXP record was loaded into the Data Warehouse. This is usually the same date that the record was extracted from BRIM.

This information is stored in the Warehouse in date format. In Business Objects, it is displayed as specified in the desktop operating system settings. It is recommended that users specify a date format that includes 4 digits for the year. (To specify the date format in Windows 95, choose the Regional Settings of the Control Panel, select the Date tab and specify the Short date style. In Windows, use the International option of the Control Panel. On the Macintosh, use the Date & Time Control Panel.)

Example: 9/19/2002

BRIM_HISTORY_STATUS

Indexed - no
Format - char (1)
May be null? yes

A 1-character code that indicates whether the record has ever been copied to the BRIM history tables.

From time to time, the Office of Research Services uses the BRIM feature to close a period. When this is done, records are flagged as being history records, and are copied to the BRIM history table (AREXHF). Any records for invoices that have been voided or paid in full are then deleted from the BRIM current table (AREXCF). Any records for invoices that have NOT been voided or paid in full remain in the current table.

The BRIMFUND_SB_EXP table contains data from the BRIM history table, supplemented by the data from the BRIM current table.

Values:

C records for the invoice exist only in the BRIM 

  current table

H records for the invoice exist in the BRIM history

In the General Ledger, a given parent Object may be associated with more than one child Object, and a given child Object may have more than one parent.

For records converted from the legacy system to BRIM, SB39_DESC may be 'Conversion,' regardless of the value of the SB_OBJECT_PARENT.
