Relational data base management systems: A tale of two systems (abstract only)

This project management system is designed to provide research administrators and department executives the capability to handle the financial accounting needs for 30 or more separately budgeted projects/departments on a computer with 64K of RAM and two floppy disks. The system generates a wide variety of flexible reports including: a Cost Accounting Summary showing previous period expenses, current period expenses, total expenses, budgeted amount, encumbrances, and remaining balance by line item; a Budgetary Summary which shows for the current period and year-to-date the actual expenses, the budgeted amount, the variance between actual and budget, and the percent of budget by line item expended; an Income Statement showing revenue and expenses; an Expense Report; and a Transaction Register; and more.
