Generating a report
Purpose
KCFIS generates BTR-format reports automatically from one or several Locked submissions. You choose the format, KCFIS does the maths and tabulation.
Who can generate
Administrator only.
Two ways to start
A. From the Submissions list
- Open Submissions.
- Filter by Status = Locked.
- Tick the rows you want to include. Use the checkbox in the header to select all on the page.
- In the bulk actions toolbar, click Generate Report (N).
- Or, on a single row, click Generate Report in the actions column.
B. From an admin's Step 4
After finalising a submission, KCFIS offers Step 4 of Submit Data for that submission only.
Step-by-step (the Generate Report screen)
-
KCFIS opens the Generate Report screen.
-
Pick a report format:
Format What it is Use it for UNFCCC BTR Common Tabular Format 7a Financial Support Provided Direct climate finance your entity provided. UNFCCC BTR Common Tabular Format 7b Financial Support Mobilised Climate finance your entity helped catalyse from other sources. Internal Quarterly Finance Summary Internal management view Internal review and planning, not for UNFCCC. -
Each format has an explanation panel describing exactly what it covers — read it to make sure you have the right one.
-
Click Next (or Generate Report).
KCFIS creates a new report with status Pending, then Generating, then Completed, and opens the Report Summary.
- A new entry appears at the top of the Reporting list.
- The Report Summary screen shows download buttons.
How long it takes
Most reports take a few seconds to a minute. Larger combined reports (many submissions or large rows) can take longer. KCFIS continues in the background — you can navigate away and come back; the report appears on the Reporting list.
