I'm no expert on funds but I'll be happy to share with you what we're
using. Depending on the use of the information, we have the following
values for reporting source of grant funds:

Fund (special range of funds set up for sponsored programs)
Project Type (project type assigned to a sponsored project under an
award)
Sponsor Type (assigned on sponsor profile)

Attached are the specific values we set up under each category. When a
department processes an expenditure, they use a combination of
Department ID, Fund, and Project ID.

Hope this helps. Feel free to call if you have questions.

 Subject: [RESADM-L] Design of Chart of Accounts

 Since we have bought a new ERP system, our institution is in the
process of designing the chart of accounts and I would like to have some
feedback about the concept of the "fund" component and "unique
identifier component" for a grant. Currently our fund component captures
the source of funds and whether the fund is unrestricted/temporary
restricted or restricted. The consultant of the new ERP system
influenced our controller/accounting office that the fund should not
capture the source of funds at all and that the unique identifier should
capture the source of fund of the particular grant. Since I came from
other universities in that the fund implied the source of funds, I did
not agree with that concept at all. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

 Thanks!
