Key Information About RIF Data

Integrated Financial View

RIF combines financial data from Kuali Financials (KFS) and Sponsored Program Services (SPS) InfoEd to offer a comprehensive overview of your account activity.

Monthly Snapshot

RIF provides a monthly summary of your accounts - similar to a bank or credit card statement. All totals reflect activity through the end of the Report Period, shown in the top-right corner of the application header. If your unit uses the Projections module, any projections entered will be included in the summary for the current report period.

Activity After the Report Period

You can view transactions posted after the Report Period via the KFS Transactions option under the Spending Breakdown menu. Updates to account attributes are typically reflected in RIF within 1-2 days of posting in KFS or InfoEd.

Projections

Accounts represented in RIF also support projections, allowing users to estimate future spending and plan accordingly. PDF reports can then be generated off projections, making them easy to share with others. This feature is only available through a special permission, so access will need to be requested.

Access Permissions

RIF access is automatically granted to users in the Account Supervisor role in KFS - typically the Principal Investigator for SPS grants and contracts. Departmental Administrators with access to Effort Reporting & Commitments (ERC) are also granted access to the same departments in RIF. For questions about access, please contact Jen Lamontagne.

About the RIF Application

RIF was developed through a collaboration between SPS Business Integrations and Solutions and Internal Insights & Innovations (I3). We welcome your feedback and suggestions – please reach out to Jen Lamontagne with any input.
