Viewing ECA/Technology funds

As a Customer standard or Customer Admin user, if your administrator has enabled data slicing, then your ECA/Technology funds will be restricted only to those accounts to which you have been given access. Additionally, you can see all Techfund data for UK only if you have access to all active UK Hardware accounts.

  1. On the main VTR menu, click Technology Funds. From the ECA/Technology funds module, you can view hardware billing data by country.

  2. Select Germany, Ireland or United Kingdom from the Country drop-down above the grid. Depending on your customer schema, you may only have access to some of these countries, and the drop-down will be displayed accordingly. Based on your country selection, the module title and columns will reflect accordingly:

    • Germany: Techfund Data
    • Ireland: Techfund Data
    • United Kingdom: ECA Data
  3. Based on the country selected, you can view the ECA Data, Techfund Data or Techfund Summary details by clicking the details button on the right of the main grid view:
