Add financial transaction data to FWS

This would save us from having to manually download expenditure transactions from MyFinancial.Desktop.

Perhaps this effort could also expose other MyFD functions under web services, such as reconciliation.

    Yes and no... isn't the only way to get data out of the EDW to connect directly to the data store and run queries directly? Web services allow developers to connect to the data programmatically and retrieve well-structured data payloads.

    This might be an example where a web service isn't necessary... but as the UW continues to move in the direction of using standards-based RESTful web services to expose data in a better way, it seems to me that financial transaction data should be included in this service.

    couldn't this be accomplished by calls to EDW (system access)?
