I wanted to find out if any organization has figured out a way to account, within the FE7, for grant cost sharing activities. Currently, I used the project and grant module to address direct expenses. In the case of federal funding you can not cost share expense for a federal grant that are already directly funded with other federal monies. My business has begun to use alot of federal grants and I am concerned to account for any amounts of activities (expenses) that are listed as cost sharing. That way I can aviod any issue like this occurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, it's not the best system in the world, but we simply create one project code for the direct expenses and a separate project code for the costshare portion. Unfortunately, it requires our project managers to divvy up and code expenses to both projects. We often do reclass entries to move expenses from one to the other.
