In this article you will use the Process Scheduler to run the Aging Summary by Unit Report. Using Process Scheduler is a simple process. Process Scheduler's primary role is to support the UGA Financial Management Systems application environment. It is used to run processes, including programs, batch programs, reports, and so on. This article focuses only on running a report.
In this article you will run the Aging Summary by Unit Report for the UGA Police Business Unit.
Note: This article was recorded using sample values. Actual values may differ in the production version of the UGA Financial Management system.
First, log into the Financial Management System
Click the Classic Home tile.

Main Menu > Accounts Receivable > Receivables Analysis > Aging > Aging Summary by Unit Rpt
Click the Add a New Value tab.
The Aging Summary by Unit Rpt search page is displayed. You will use this page to enter the Run Control ID for running this report.
A Run Control ID is an identifier that, when paired with your user ID, uniquely identifies the process you are running. The Run Control ID defines parameters that are used when a process is run. This ensures when a process runs in the background, the system does not prompt you for additional values.
Note: To use the same Run Control ID for future jobs where you want to run this report, you will want to enter an ID that is easily recognizable by you. One good option is to start with the initials of the module you are working in, followed by the name of the process.
Enter the appropriate information into the Run Control ID field.
