Map funds to income accounts

Every fund used in a new posting or replacement classification needs an active approved income mapping. The mapping supplies the revenue credit account; an operator does not enter arbitrary GL account IDs in the posting form.

Fields and prerequisites​

You need finance view/configure rights, active settings and authorised account discovery. The fund and account must belong to the current tenant.

FieldRule
Fund IDExisting fund ID verified from Fund management; fixed when editing that mapping
Approved revenue credit accountActive eligible REVENUE account with credit normal balance
Required recognition/configuration reasonPrivate explanation of the approved mapping, maximum 500 characters
Active approved income mappingExplicit approval for this configured revenue recognition

The current mapping form uses a numeric Fund ID field. Obtain it from the correct existing tenant fund; do not guess from another tenant's examples.

Create a mapping​

  1. Review the fund purpose and its approved income recognition with finance.
  2. Open Financial configuration → Fund income mappings.
  3. Search/check existing pages for that fund.
  4. Enter Fund ID, select the approved revenue account and enter the reason.
  5. Select the approved active state and choose Save mapping.
  6. Reload and verify fund, income account, activity and version.

Update and historical effect​

Choose the existing mapping's Edit action. Its fund ID stays fixed; review the account, active state and reason, then save against the displayed version. New mappings/classification changes affect future financial revisions. Existing posted journal lines and snapshots keep their original account IDs.

Example: Education's future income recognition is approved to use another eligible revenue account. Updating the mapping does not rewrite yesterday's donation. If a posted donation also needs reclassification, perform a separate reviewed financial correction using the current approved mappings.

Recognition boundary​

Activating a mapping explicitly approves revenue recognition for the workflow. The module does not infer deferred income, conditional-gift liabilities or accounting treatment from the word RESTRICTED. If the gift's approved treatment does not fit this revenue-posting workflow, stop at the appropriate supported state and obtain the separately approved finance procedure.

If a split has no active mapping, resolve that exact fund's configuration. Do not collapse allocations into General Support or choose an unrelated account to make preview succeed. A configuration/version change after preview requires a fresh proposal and review.
