WISDM

Wisconsin Data Mart (WISDM) is a web based reporting system which provides inquiry access to PeopleSoft general ledger, purchasing and accounts payable information. The system provides budget versus actual reports allowing users to monitor financial performance. Information is provided on a departmental and project basis using a variety of reporting structures (account trees) to present results. Users can drill down and obtain detailed information on the transactions, which make up the balance in an account. Detailed information on vendors, purchase orders, invoices and journals is also available. The system has the functionality to rollup departmental information at the divisional and institutional level. To obtain access to WISDM, a SFS User Authorization Request Form must be completed and submitted to the Divisional Business Office for approval. The form should than be forwarded to Business Services to complete the processing.
