Example of Fund AccountsImportant Information about this Tool
- Once a Fund Account is made inactive, it cannot be made active again.
- When a Bank Account is inactivated, Campus inactivates all Fund Accounts associated with the Bank Account.
- A Fund Account cannot be deleted if transactions were made using that Fund Account.
- One Bank Account can be used for multiple Fund Accounts. This feature allows your district to segregate payment categories such as Food Service or Fee/Fee Types within the same Bank Account.
- The following characters cannot be used in the Fund ID: > < * “ % + = ^ [ ]
- When you change a Fund ID name and/or Bank Account ID, Campus creates an inactive copy of the original Fund Account and names it by appending "Archived" to the original name; e.g,"FundName_Archived." Campus reporting uses "FundName_Archived" for past transactions and uses the new Fund ID name for new transactions.
Fund Account Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Default | You can set up a default Fund Account for the District and at each school. The default Fund Account is used when a fee or payable service is paid and a Fund Account is not set up for the fee or payable service. Campus first looks for the Fee's Fund Account then Campus looks for the school's Default Fund Account. If the school does not have a Default Fund Account, Campus uses the District's Default Fund Account. |
| Food Service | All food service transactions are deposited to this bank account. If your district uses Household Food Service accounts, only set up one Food Service Fund account. This allows Campus to identify the correct Fund Account when there are multiple enrollments associated with an account. |
| Service Fees | All service fees are deposited to this bank account. |
| Transaction Fees | All transaction fees are deposited to this bank account. |
| Fee Types | This option allows you to indicate which fees and services are deposited into the selected bank account. A list of Fee Types display below the Fee Types checkbox when it is marked. Fee Types are created and modified in the Fee Type dictionary in the Core Attribute Dictionary. Fee Types are assigned to Fees and Fund Accounts. Once a Fee Type is selected for a Fund Account, you cannot select the same Fee Type for a second Fund Account at the same school.
Optional Fees associated with a student's enrollment in a future calendar do not display in Campus Parent or Campus Student. |
| School Store Product Types | This option allows you to indicate which Fund Accounts are used for items purchased in the School Store. |
