The date when the FUND_STATUS record was last changed. This information is stored in the Warehouse in date format. In Business Objects, it is displayed as specified in the desktop operating system settings. It is recommended that users specify a format including 4 digits for the year.

ORGANIZATON_CODE

Indexed - yes
Format - char (4)
May be null? yes

The 4-character code that represents the organization for which the fund may or may not be active.

An organization is a subdivision of the University created for management purposes. An organization belongs to only one Responsibility Center, and its ORGANIZATION_CODE is unique. That is, no two organizations will have the same value for ORGANIZATION_CODE.

ORGANIZATION_CODE is the second segment of the Accounting_Flexfield.

Example: 4212 (Dermatology Administration)


Values:

Refer to the ORG_CODES table for values.

STATUS

Indexed - no
Format - char (1)
May be null? yes

The one-character code that indicates whether a sponsored project fund is active according to BEN Financials report logic. All of the following criteria must be satisfied for the fund to be considered inactive (indicated by a STATUS of 'I'). If any of the following criteria are not satisfied, the fund is considered active (indicated by a STATUS of 'A'):

1. The fund code itself is disabled or expired. (Only Research Accounting can expire or disable a grant fund value; this is usally done 90 to 120 days after award termination.) The fund code is disabled or expired if its ENABLED flag in the FUND_CODES table has a value of 'N'.)

2. There has been no budget, actual or encumbrance activity during the fiscal year being reported (that is, the fiscal year associated with the accouting period parameter for the report query). Determining this involves an an extensive test of the BALANCES table, summing (separately) the values of ACTUAL_PJTD, OPER_BUDGET_PJTD, and TOTAL_ENCUMBERED for each ACCOUNTING_PERIOD/COA_ORG/COA_FUND/COA_OBJECT, where each object selected is a child of parent object K108. (This calculation, and the comparison that follows, must proceed on an object-by-object basis.) The previous ADJ period is determined, and then the values of ACTUAL_PJTD, OPER_BUDGET_PJTD, and TOTAL_ENCUMBERED are summed for each corresponding COA_ORG/COA_FUND/COA_OBJECT in the ADJ period. The two sets of sums are compared. If any of the three buckets is not equal to its corresponding ADJ bucket (again, for any object taken separately), there is FYTD activity, and the fund is active.

3. The net project-to-date revenue plus expense is zero. Determining this involves another extensive test of the BALANCES table, summing (in aggregate) the value of ACTUAL_PJTD for the ACCOUNTING_PERIOD/COA_ORG/COA_FUND/PARENT_OBJECT, where the parent object selected is K108. If the sum is not equal to zero, there is PJTD activity, and the fund is active.

Examples: A (Active); I (Inactive)


Values: 

A     Active

I     Inactive
