GL Distributions

Donna Evans — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 19:01:19 GMT

My system says it is talking to the GL in Financial Edge but is not accepting any of the GL Account numbers that were entered for the funds. Anyone have a clue as to why they are not valid if they are the same as the ones for financial edge???? Any help greatly appreciated!

Department Coding

Lynne Keane — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 16:41:05 GMT

Does anyone know how to add departments to one of the funds, to segregate an activity? If this is the best way. I'd like to set up depts. within the operating fund to track activity for the year but to keep separate income/balance sheet report totals which roll into a "total operating fund". Thanks...Im not that familiar with this system and I don't find it too user friendly.

Budgets

OBS02112008Izzy OBS02112008Koenigsberg — Wed, 19 May 2004 16:14:38 GMT

Currently we have our home office broken down by dept. We can generate f/s, i/s with budget variances etc for the home office. the problem now is that the various depts are asking for their individual financial reports, budget reports etc. I am having difficulty getting the reports to give me the proper numbers. the actual exp seems to be on a consolidated basis while the budget is just for the dept. Anyone have any ideas??????l

Revenue recognition

Jeff Young — Fri, 14 May 2004 21:07:25 GMT

We are a Foundation for a University School with a separate tax ID number. We have an annual committment to reimburse the University for expenses incurred by our research facility. One of our donors gave directly to the University instead of us. The money given to the University will be applied to and reduce our obligation to the annual committment. Can we book revenue recognition in this transaction as a forgiveness of debt?

We are currently on version 6.4 and considering upgrading Accounts Payable and General Ledger to the Financial Edge. For those of you who have already made the switch, was it an easy transition and what are the pros and cons of FE. In advance, thank you for your responses.

Restricted Accounts

Jeanne Jacobs-Gaffney — Mon, 03 Nov 2003 21:50:22 GMT

Hi all, I am finally setting up temporarily restricted accounts through my GL. Should I use a separate fund or classify a new account as temporarily restricted? I'm planning to convert to FE by the end of year. Should I just use a spreadsheet to tract? Any other tips? Thank you for your help.

Masking report options in version 6x

Bonnie Katusich — Tue, 04 Nov 2003 13:59:00 GMT

I seem to remember, way back when I was a user of version 6.3 (1998-2000?), that I was able to use the masking option in income statements. This is where say, if you have a fund segment, account, and department segments, and in your agency-wide income statement you only want to show say, one line for salaries (without having to create a consolidation) you could "mask" the department segment and even fund segment to do that. I know the option is in FE, but am I suffering mental lapse? It's driving me nuts that I can not find any info. Thanks!
