Management information reports are generated from the Management Information System (MIS) of EDS.
-
The reports are accessed through the MIS Main Menu. See Exhibit 7.14.6–2.
-
A menu option is available in the MIS Main Menu to display an Area Office Report Menu (if one is programmed). The Areas are encouraged to contact the EP Determination Centralized Site in Cincinnati (EP-DCSC) to have any local reports needed and/or perform ad hoc queries on the EDS database. See your Functional Coordinator to secure access to Informix SQL.
-
Case Inventory Listings may be generated by Division, Group, Specialist or Review. These reports are in control date and alphabetical order.
-
The Division Report is divided by area, group, and unassigned inventory. Review cases are listed in each group. Status 39, 50, 51, 58 and 55 (where the proposed closing is 06) are included in the unassigned inventory.
-
The Group report is divided by specialist. Status 32, 33, 37, 40, 41, 52, 53 and 55 (where the proposed closing is not 06) are included in the group reports.
-
The Specialist report includes status 32, 33, 37, 52 and 53.

The Case Overage Listing generates the same case listings as in (1), above except an Overage Indicator may be entered to list only those cases older than the Overage Indicator. The Overage Indicator is the number of days when a case is considered old. This number may be any number to allow "what if" reports to be generated.

-
