Adding and Editing a Funding Source

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.

  1.  Navigation:
  2. Admin View
  3. Management Quick Links

Note: A funding source can only be deleted if it has not been assigned to a tag.

To edit a Funding Source assigned to a specific tag, there are two administrator options:

  1. For tags with an Inventory Type of "Initial," use Bulk Edit.
  2. For tags with an Inventory Type of "Order," use Edit Purchase Order Details.

If a restricted funding source tag is added to a transfer, the transfer and ALL tags within it will not be eligible to be "Submitted" and/or placed "In Transit" unless there is an assigned user to the restricted funding source.
