Funding Sources are the identifiable sources that represent a sum of money or other financial resources used to purchase an item. When adding a product to an existing purchase order, Asset Management requires a funding source be selected. The "Funding Sources" screen allows a district-level administrative user to add to/edit the list of funding sources.

Restrict Transfer of Tags per Funding Source
