RF Monthly Task Summary (MTS) Report

Description

Purpose

The Monthly Task Summary (MTS) Report contains a summary and detail of actual current month expenditures for a task. This report, which includes six sections, provides expenditure details needed to determine the status of a task budget. It enables operating locations that own a project and task, and particularly Principal Investigators (PIs), to make decisions regarding task status and future expenditures. It is also used as backup documentation to support billings to sponsors. MTS Reports are available monthly as six individual reports (that is, sections), as described below.

MTS reports will not be produced for tasks associated with projects that have a project status of closed. Once the project status is changed to closed the MTS report will be produced for that month and the following two months.

Frequency
