Overview, Working With Funds

This article explains how to work with funds: viewing them, opening a fund's register, editing, deleting, and bulk-reconciling transactions.

To get to Funds, select General Financials > Funds in the left sidebar. The Funds list shows each fund with its type, category, balance, and description.

The Funds list

The Funds list.

Working with the Funds list

  • Add a fund with the Add A New Fund button (see How To Add A New Fund).
  • Open a fund by clicking the green open icon on its row. This opens the Fund Workspace.
  • Filter and search the list (search by fund ID or name), and Export to CSV.

When you open a fund, the workspace has these tabs: Fund Details, Connections, Fund Register, and Record Permissions.

The Fund Register

Open the Fund Register tab to see every transaction for that fund, along with a running fund balance. From here you can:

  • Open any transaction by clicking its open icon, which takes you to the original entry (the donation, deposit, expense, and so on) to view or edit it.
  • Filter the register (including by whether a transaction has been reconciled) and search by payee, payer, or description.
  • Export to CSV.

Each transaction shows whether it is Reconciled. The green icon opens the original entry.

You can view all fund transfers separately under General Financials > Fund Transfers.

Bulk-reconcile transactions

The Fund Register lets you reconcile several transactions at once. Filter the register to the transactions you want, then check the box on each one. Open the - Choose Bulk Action - menu, pick Mark Selected Transactions As Reconciled, and click Run Bulk Action.

Pick the action in the menu, then click Run Bulk Action.

Deleting

  • A fund can be deleted only if it has no transactions. Click the delete icon on its row in the Funds list and confirm. Deletion is permanent.
  • A transaction is not deleted from the Fund Register. To remove a transaction, open its original entry (or use the account register) and delete it there, which keeps the books balanced.
