To obtain more financial freedom, universities and especially their chairs and institutes have to establish a well functioning and reliable financial management and accounting system. Currently, chairs have different technical solutions for these systems, each of which must react individually to external changes and require a high effort to adapt their reports. Thus, they rely on either commercial accounting software, which is not tailored to their specific needs, or standard spreadsheet software making use of complex sheets and cross-references which are error-prone and hard to adapt. We have used domain models and code synthesis methods to create an enterprise information system. This paper shows how models reflect user requirements, evolve with changing requirements and how they impact an agile, model-driven engineering process. The resulting system simplifies the planning of financial management and accounting by university chairs.
