The Rialto Acquisitions subject area allows you to to create analytics for Rialto Acquisitions. The data comes from the purchase request and PO Line data available in Alma. Users can create reports/dashboard based on their expenditures and answer the following business questions:

What Rialto purchase requests and orders appear?
How many PO lines are there, and what is the status?
How many purchase requests are there, and what is their status?
What is the estimated cost?
What is the actual cost (invoice pricing)?
Who are the Rialto selectors for the purchase requests and PO lines?
What funds are used for the purchase requests and PO lines?
Which titles are being requested and ordered?

Bibliographic Details

Bibliographic details is a shared dimension that contains bibliographic information about the purchase request.

Ex Libris works with content providers worldwide to enrich the metadata available in the Alma Community Zone. To enrich the journal/serial content in the CZ, we work directly with the Library of Congress CONSER feed for electronic serials, which we match against our knowledge base to enrich with all of the relevant metadata fields that they supply (for more details, see Community Zone Serial Records Enrichment) and enrich the CZ records with all relevant metadata, including the 050 fields (when available).

In the case of book content, we work with multiple providers who are willing to share their metadata with the Alma community globally (for more details, see Community Zone Monograph Records Enrichment). If you have local access to these classifications, you may want to consider working with the local extension for these records whenever an update is not available. (For more details, see Working with Local Extension Fields for Community Zone-linked Records.)

The Bibliographic Details table contains two kinds of fields, those derived from the MARC record and those that come from Alma. Although in analytics there is no distinction made between these fields, for explanatory purposes we have divided them into two tables below.

Funds

The Funds table is a dimension table that displays the details about the fund with which the transaction is associated. The primary key of the table is FUND_LEDGER_ID.

There are the following types of funds:

Ledger
Summary
Allocated Fund

Funds are kept in a parent-child relationship so that each fund has a connection to its parent.

Funds Hierarchy Example

Creating Reports According to Fund Type

You can create reports according to fund type. If the procedures in this section are not implemented, the sums of all of the fund types may be added together in the transaction amount.

To create a report displaying funds of just one type, filter the Fund Type column according to Ledger, Allocated fund, or Summary fund:

Filter by Fund

To create a report showing all of the fund types, add a column that displays any unique identifier of the fund, such as Fund Ledger Code:

Fund Ledger Code

Basic Concepts for Funds in Alma

Allocated and Summary Funds

A fund represents money in an account. A fund can be summary or allocated.

Summary — This fund is not used for ordering and invoicing, but provides aggregate reporting on subordinate funds. You can add other funds to this type of fund.
Allocated —This fund contains money that has been paid out or has been reserved for an open purchase.

A Summary Fund can only be associated with an Allocated Fund. A specific Allocated Fund (i.e. Allocated Fund 101) can only be associated with only one Ledger or Summary Fund, but not both.

Fund Balance

Available Balance —The allocated balance, less (encumbrances minus disencumbrances) and less expenditures.

Cash Balance — The allocated balance less expenditures.

Allocated Balance —The total allocation, not counting any expenditures or encumbrances/disencumbrances.

Encumbered Balance — The sum of the fund's encumbrances minus disencumbrances.

Expenditure Balance — Also called expended balance, this is the sum of the fund's expenditures.

Ledger

A ledger is essentially a collection of funds. Ledgers are defined for a specific date range, such as September 1 of this year to August 31 of next year. A Ledger can be associated with a Summary or Allocated Fund.

Transactions

A transaction can be an allocation, encumbrance, disencumbrance, or expenditure. An allocation adds money to the fund, increasing its available balance. An encumbrance indicates money that is expected to be paid out, as the result of a PO line. A disencumbrance is added or increased when adding an expenditure linked to the same PO line as an encumbrance.

Managing and Configuring Funds in Alma

You can manage funds in Alma by navigating to Acquisitions > Funds and Ledgers.

You can configure fund types in Alma by navigating to Configuration > Acquisitions > Fund Types.

Invoice Line

The Invoice Line table is a dimension table that displays details about the invoice and invoice line associated with the transaction. The primary key of the table is INVOICE_LINE_ID.

While an invoice describes what was paid to the vendor, the invoice line describes the details of the various payments. Therefore an invoice can have multiple invoice lines.
When creating an invoice from a PO, one invoice line is created for each PO line in the PO. The details for the invoice line are taken from the related PO line. In this case, the invoice line price is the full PO line price (fully disencumbered). The encumbrance created by the PO Line is released by the expenditure created by the related invoice line.

To access the Invoice Line fields in the Alma UI, navigate to Acquisitions > Review (Invoice) > Edit an invoice > Invoice Lines tab > Edit an invoice line. Note that you sometimes may need to go into the main Invoice Summary tab (not the invoice line tab) in order to see the field.

For more information, see Creating Invoices.

Institution

The shared Institution dimension allows the Network Zone to view reports according to institution. If an analytics report is run from the Network Zone in a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone, all member institutions are included in the report for Institution Code and Institution Name. If an analytics report is run from an institution that is not part of a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone, only the single institution from which the report is run is included in the report for Institution Code and Institution Name.

Reports involving data across a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone may take longer to run than reports within one institution.

This dimension is available in every subject area. It contains the following fields:
