Key Member Roles
Project Management within Oracle is defined via key member roles.
Project Manager (PM)
Alternate Approver (AA)
Project Reviewer (PR)
Each project should have all three key members filled, but NO one project can have multiple key member assignments during the same timeframe (i.e., a project is not allowed to have two Project Managers simultaneously, etc.)
UTRGV PROJECT LISTING report can be run to view the current key members listed for a particular project

The PR is responsible for reviewing/reconciling each transaction posted against the project, ensuring its accuracy and validating that sufficient source documentation exists (paper form or electronic data residing in Oracle).
The PR also reviews the non-workflow expenditure exceptions. These transactions represent items which were not initially authorized (via approval workflow) by the PM or AA.

Project/Grants Management System (PA/GMS)
The reconciliation for expenditures should be conducted from this module
There are two main project categories: Sponsored Projects - have an award and terms linked to the project.
Non-Sponsored Projects (operating) - have a funding source

Expenditure Types (E-Type)
The PA/GMS module holds the lowest level of detail (expenditure type) for your project expenditures. These expenses include payroll, supplier, and all other costs regardless of the type of project you hold

Expenditure Inquiry
Expenditure Inquiry screen is recommended for viewing/analyzing a limited amount of transactions.
The Actuals window can be used to review project expenditure transactions. A Project number is needed to inquire on any expenditure.
Information can be narrowed down by e-type, employee name, supplier name, expenditure item date, expenditure categories.
For large scale transactions, it is preferred that you run the UTRGV ADHOC TRANSACTIONS REPORT to obtain the equivalent information.
