Many organisations are preparing for their end of financial year reporting. The Enquire Reporting FAQ helps you tackle your reporting with tips and reminders to guide you through the process and covers some common reporting questions.
How is reporting process managed in Enquire?
- Output reporting is done at the Project level. This is where Project Managers enter actuals against the standard units of measure. Please remember Output comments are received by report recipients, such as government or regional authorities.
- Once the project report has been approved by the Round or Delivery Area Managers, Business Contract Managers will need to do the Milestone reports at the Activity Agreement level. Here they will mark the Milestone status and enter in any Milestone comments for the governing or regional body. Reports from Sub-program Managers will also contribute to the Milestone report.
- Once the Business Contract Managers have submitted the Activity Agreement reports, the Portfolio Managers need to generate a consolidated Portfolio report and submit.
- If amendments are required, the Portfolio Manager will receive an email to re-submit the report. They must make the necessary changes then re-submit a consolidated portfolio report.
Why are there previously completed outputs in my current project report?
The milestones linked to these outputs may have been marked as Incomplete or Complete and Continuing in a previous period. Outputs linked to a milestone with these statuses are available for reporting in subsequent periods. The milestone’s status will need to be updated to Complete or Incomplete and Closed, and the linked outputs reported upon to resolve the problem.
Why can’t I submit or approve a project report?
There could be 3 reasons for why you can’t submit or approve a report:
- Check to see if you have updated all the project’s outcomes. Delivered outcomes should have a green tick to indicate that they have been updated.
- You may have forgotten to submit a final comment about the project’s progress.
- Check if the Sub-program Managers or Business Contract Manager have submitted their reports, as this will prevent you from updating your project actuals. Consult with your Business Contract and Portfolio Managers if this has happened.
Where do I submit my Portfolio Reports?
