The Reporting and Forecasting Tool (RAFT) shows Institute Fiscal Officers what has been charged to their Cost Objects and forecasts changes to those charges based on changes in their base budget. We have deployed and are updating RAFT Phase III. The live application, is located at https://raft-prod.mit.edu/.
Release Notes
RAFT PIII (RAFT 3) April 23, 2014 Release Notes
We moved an "improved forecasting screen and bug fix" release into production Wednesday night, April 23, 2014.
Changes for this release include:
Improved Forecasting Screen:
We rebuilt the forecast screen to make it faster and easier to use. Now People are in one table, all Expenses are in another, and Revenue is in its own grid, making it possible to see most of the forecast on one screen. We simplified the display of calculated indirect costs so that each grid shows its Actuals, Commitments and Forecast subtotals as separate lines. The calculated indirect costs are available by grid as well. After testing the new forecast screen, please send any feedback you have to raft-support@mit.edu.
Bug Fixes:
We made numerous fixes to the way data is fed into RAFT and the calculations RAFT makes on the data.
For upcoming changes please look in the Jira Bug List for RAFT3
Also, contact us via email at raft-support@mit.edu to request changes, or if there are reports you would like to see added.
