Motivator: In today’s Army, we define ourselves as being the best trained, equipped and the best led Army that the United States has ever known. So to keep this image we as Financial Leaders and Managers have to become the best at financially supporting our Soldiers and being stewards of taxpayer dollars. Knowing this we have embraced Standard Financial Information System (SFIS) and the General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) in that it provides our Army decision makers with accurate, reliable, timely business and financial information to keep our War Fighters within their fiscal responsibilities.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: In a training environment, leaders must perform a risk assessment in accordance with FM 5-19, Composite Risk Management. Leaders will complete a DA Form 7566 COMPOSITE RISK MANAGEMENT WORKSHEET during the planning and completion of each task and sub-task by assessing mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available-time available and civil considerations, (METT-TC). Note: During MOPP training, leaders must ensure personnel are monitored for potential heat injury. Local policies and procedures must be followed during times of increased heat category in order to avoid heat related injury. Consider the MOPP work/rest cycles and water replacement guidelines IAW FM , NBC Protection, FM , CBRN Decontamination.
RISK ASSESSMENT LEVEL: Low
ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT: Environmental protection is not just the law but the right thing to do. It is a continual process and starts with deliberate planning. Always be alert to ways to protect our environment during training and missions. In doing so, you will contribute to the sustainment of our training resources while protecting people and the environment from harmful effects. Refer to FM Environmental Considerations and GTA ENVIRONMENTAL-RELATED RISK ASSESSMENT.
EVALUATION. You will be given an exam which will include Review Detailed Expenditure Accounting Documents. A passing score on this examination is 80% and for International Students (80%).
INSTRUCTIONAL LEAD IN - Before we can understand how to control our funds, we must briefly discuss how funds are received. 2

3. GFEBS Budget Reports Two types of Budget reporting areas in GFEBS:
Business Intelligence (BI)
Enterprise Central Component (ECC)
Show Slide #4
The following are the key terms related to this course:
• Annual Funding Program (AFP): Appropriation for the fiscal year that serves as a control on funding. For
example, for Operations and Maintenance (O&M) the control is by Sub-Activity Group (SAG).
• Allotment: Budget authority for the fiscal year. Commitments cannot exceed available allotment.
• Area of Responsibility (AOR): Used by IMCOM to identify Program Director Major and Minor.
• BI: A combination of databases and management tools in GFEBS used to generate reports and support
managerial decision making. GFEBS BI reports are produced using several front-end tools such as
Microsoft Excel, Business Explorer (BEx), and Web Intelligence (WebI).
• Commitment: An administrative reservation of funds based on firm procurement requests, unaccepted
customer orders, directives, etc. In GFEBS, a that reduces Fund availability based on a purchase
request or customer order.
• Cost: Expenses incurred, both funded and unfunded, by an organization in producing and consuming products
and services. 4

4. Business Intelligence
The BI Budget Reporter generates reports in BI that:
Can be customized to meet individual needs.
Provide near real-time data (i.e., delay can be from 2 – 24 hours).
Data used for BI reports is extracted to BI from ECC.
This data becomes historical data in the data warehouse.
Users generate reports using the data in BI.
Not the most up to date information

5. BI Status of Funds Reports
The Status of Funds Report provides information on execution status
and visibility to:
• COED status.
• Formal levels of funds distribution.
• User selected report parameters (i.e., “free characteristics”) such as:
- Fund
- Funds Center
- Functional Area
- Funded Program
- Commitment Item
- Cost Center
- Cost Object
- Fiscal Month, Fiscal Month/Year, Fiscal Quarter, and Fiscal Year
- Management Decision Package (MDEP)
Show Slide #10
The Status of Funds by Funding Year Report provides information on execution status and visibility to:
• Status of COED by Cost Collection Type
• Formal levels of funds distribution
• User selected report parameters (i.e., “free characteristics”) such as:
- Fund, Funds Center, Functional Area, Funded Program, or Commitment Item
- Cost Center or Cost Object
- Fund Begin Date, Fund End date, Fund Expiration date, or Fund Cancellation Date
- MDEP, PE, Value Type, or Area of Responsibility
- Fiscal Quarter or Fiscal Year
• Check current year execution of a prior year fund. 10

6. Enterprise Central Component
The ECC Budget Reporter uses transaction codes (T-codes) to generate reports in ECC that:
Contain drill-down capability to view information at the transaction document level in non-cumulative reports.
Generate in real-time.
Provides the most up to date information to the commander

There are four groups of key reports generated by the ECC Budget Reporter:
- Cumulative Fund Status
- Non-Cumulative Fund Status
Reimbursable Fund Status
Other Fund Status.

12. ECC Reports cont.
Fund Status reports provide either cumulative or non-cumulative data. The difference between cumulative and non-cumulative is:
In a cumulative view, the columns within the report do not decrease.
- In a non-cumulative view, the columns will decrease or increase based on the COED status.
Show Slide #18
Instructor Notes: Give student the following example.
- For example, with commitments and obligations, if the report is cumulative, the commitment column will not decrease when the
commitment becomes an obligation. However, the obligation column will increase.
- Using the same example as above, the commitment will be decreased and the obligation increased when the commitment
becomes an obligation. 18
