The BW Reporting Tool is the foundation on which BUworks Business Warehouse reports are built. The flexibility inherent in BW reports – the ability to add or remove Characteristics, filter data, sort or group data, and so on – is not specific to any single report. Instead, these features are available in all BW reports.
The BW Document Library contains Help Guides and videos that describe elements of the Business Warehouse Reporting environment. Select a link below based on the category of information you are searching for.

New! Self-guided tutorial: Account Reconciliation and BW Reporting
Account reconciliation involves more than examining expenses. Budget encumbrances (commitments) represent another important financial element to consider. This tutorial explores how one can use two popular BW reports to explore commitments from two perspectives: Funds Management and Procurement. This tutorial is self-guided, meaning you can go through as much of it as you are interested in at a pace that works for you. The entire tutorial takes only 30-40 minutes to complete. The tutorial is available in the Terrier eDevelopment environment.
