PARENT_FUND_CODES Table

Explanation
Lists funds (unique identifiers for specific sets of financial resources that need tracking or management) with their parent fund codes (that is, their roll- up groups). A given fund may have more than one parent. For example, fund 990256 (BLACK LAW JOURNAL) has parents FBNORM (Fnd Bal CNAC-ORG-FUND) and AIFREV (ALL FUNDS, EXCEPT 020000-02999).

Common Uses
Generating reports using fund roll-up groups, showing amounts summarized at different levels.

Cautions
  • The table is only as good as its data. Spurious parent funds may not have been removed from the table, and some parents may have yet to be added to the table.
  • To create a hierarchy, use a self-join. Connect by prior may work but is not recommended.
  • Data is kept only for fund codes in use. If a BEN Financials roll-up group's range includes a fund that does not exist, the table will not have a record for that fund.
