MDS Statements Available Online
MDS has implemented a green initiative in monthly statement processing and will no longer be sending out printed statements. Customers can look up their transaction details through the MDS e-commerce system. To obtain an online/printable transaction report (similar to a statement), login to the web ordering system and choose the “Transaction” link on the navigation bar at the left. Select the desired date range. Once the transactions are visible, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on “Transaction Report” to generate the PDF.
Parent/Child account holders can also access their transaction report via their parent login and can print transaction reports for all MD numbers they are responsible for with one click!
If you need assistance printing your online transaction report, please contact MDS customer service at 608-497-4400.

PAT (Pre-Posting Allocation Tool) Available
Customers have the ability to reallocate and split funding on purchases made through the MDS e-commerce system before transactions are posted to SFS and WISDM.
To access PAT, use the Pre-Posting Allocation Tool (PAT) link in our navigation menu at the left. To view more resources for using PAT, please visit our PAT User Guides and Training page.
With the implementation of PAT, a change in the way you see MDS purchases in WISDM has occured. You no longer will have a summary of the entire month’s purchases, but will have invoice summary information. See our PAT User Guides for more information.
