University FOAP Hierarchy-Structure

The University’s Fund, Org, Account and Program codes are developed using a hierarchical “Parent” – “Child” system. 

  • Each hierarchy has one or two lower levels that are used for Data entry.  These Data Entry levels are the “Child” levels.
  • Each lower data entry “child” fund, org, account or program code subtotals to a higher “Parent” level fund, org, account or program code. 
  • The “Parent” levels then subtotal into even higher levels until ultimately all levels total to the highest “Parent” or University-wide level.

 The structures for Fund, Org, Account and Program codes are described below:
