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
