Funding Strings
All funding sources at the University of Wisconsin are identified with a series of numeric codes and are often referred to according to those codes. The series of numbers associated with the funding “string” which will be needed for any expenditure, hire, or other use associated with the funding.

WISER
WISER (replaced WISDM) is the new web-based reporting system. Data in WISER comes from the Shared Financial System (SFS), and the Human Resource System (HRS). This system contains transaction as well as demographic data on projects and grants and allows exporting of data into multiple formats for review and analysis. You may use your Net ID to log into WISER and view the status of your accounts.
If you need access to WISER, please submit the WISER Access Form to Tammy O’Brien.
As always, the Business Office is available to answer any and all of your questions; in fact, questions are encouraged. We would prefer to process transactions right the first time rather than try to clean up problems after-the-fact. The potential consequences of the DIY-method may mean incomplete reimbursement.
