BRIM Data Collection

The BRIM Data Collection is a subset of the University Data Warehouse containing data from BRIM, the Billing and Receivables Information Management system used by the Office of Research Services. BRIM is used to track award payments due and received for sponsored project funds where the sponsors either send payments as they are billed for project expenses, or send payments based on a schedule. BRIM does not track sponsored project funds where payment is handled via letters of credit.

The General Ledger in BEN Financials is the ultimate source of most of the BRIM data for funds, cash receipts, and actual amounts to be used as the basis of expense-based invoices. Other data is entered into BRIM by ORS staff, or created by BRIM.

The BRIM Data Collection was created to enable users to:

• create ad hoc reports of BRIM data
• see BRIM records as they are now, or as they were at the end of past accounting periods
• reconcile BRIM data with the General Ledger data in BEN Financials
