FRIGITD - How can I view financial information on my grants? What is the balance, expenditures, remaining amounts, etc.?
- FRIGITD allows users to see all financial information for a grant and the associated funds within the grant record.
- Users can view information in both summary and detailed output.
- Specific periods can be defined for a "snapshot" view of a budget.
- Selecting "Fund Summary" will populate all financials for funds associated with the grant.
- Users can run various types of searches
- Include or exclude revenue
- Include or exclude indirect costs
STEPS
- Enter "W" in the Chart of Accounts
- Enter Grant number
- Select Acct Types from Account Summary:
- Level 1 Account Types = Labor and Direct Expenditures high level view
- Level 2 Account Types = high level view of entire budget
- All Levels = detailed view of budget line items within Account Categories
- Select the following if you want to populate related information
- Include Revenue: populates revenue (54) line item
- Exclude Indirect Costs: shows budget without the Indirect Cost line item
