Account ID

A code used to identify whether an accounting entry is a balance sheet, revenue, or expenditure. For balance sheet items, the account ID is the first position of the account code.


Calculated during the data load process.

The calculated value represents the type of general ledger cash account being reported.

Valid values:

  • C - Cash Account

  • P - Payroll Cash Account

  • B - Both

The value is determined by matching transactions and ledger entries to the Cash Account and Payroll Cash Account defined in the Fund Accounting profile.

Fund

The specific fund for which financial data is being reported.


Populated during the data load process.

The value represents the Indiana Department of Education state fund code for the transaction.

The system retrieves the local fund code from the organization chart (orgn.fund) and looks it up in the Fund Crosswalk table (in_form9fund). If a crosswalk entry exists, the local fund is converted to the corresponding state fund code required for Indiana reporting. If no crosswalk exists, the original local fund code is used. Transactions with blank/null state fund codes in the crosswalk are excluded from the report.

*Budget Code*

The function or program code (for expenditures) or revenue account code (for revenue) that identifies where funds came from or how they were used.

This field is view-only and cannot be edited after saving the record.

Populated during the data load process.

The value represents different coding depending on the transaction type:

  • For Revenue transactions (Sections 1, 3): The revenue account code from the revenue ledger (revledgr.account), with any leading "R" stripped off. This identifies the source of revenue (e.g., "5111" for local property tax).

  • For Expenditure transactions (Sections 2, 4, 8): The function/program code from the organization chart (orgn.orgn1). This identifies the educational program or function area where the expenditure occurred (e.g., "1100" for Regular Instruction, "2100" for Student Support Services).

  • For Balance transactions (Sections 5, 6): Hardcoded as "00000" since balances are not associated with specific programs or revenue sources.

Account

The account as it appears in the ledgers.

This field is view-only and cannot be edited after saving the record.

Populated during the data load process.

The value represents the same information as Budget Code - either the revenue account code (for revenue transactions) or the function code (for expenditure transactions), depending on the section type.

District ID

The four-digit Indiana Department of Education corporation identification number assigned to your school district.

Not applicable

Section

The specific reporting category of the financial data as required by the State of Indiana.

  • 5 - Beginning Balance = Cash balance calculated from transactions or general ledger at the start of the reporting period

  • 6 - Ending Balance

  • 8 - Encumbrances

  • P - Plus Adj to Beg Bal = Represents a positive adjustment to the beginning balance.

  • M - Minus Adj to Beg Bal = Represents a negative adjustment to the beginning balance.

Object

The expenditure object code that identifies the nature or type of purchase.

Populated during the data load process.

The value represents the nature or type of expenditure (object code):

  • For Revenue transactions (Sections 1, 3): An empty string ("") because revenue transactions do not have associated object codes.

  • For Expenditure transactions (Sections 2, 4, 8): The object/expenditure code from the expenditure ledger (expledgr.account). This identifies the type of expenditure (e.g., "110" for Certificated Salaries, "220" for Social Security Contributions, "610" for Supplies, "810" for Dues and Fees).

  • For Balance transactions (Sections 5, 6): Hardcoded as "000" since balances are not associated with specific expenditure types.

Amount

The cumulative total for all 13 periods for this organization/account or fund/account.

Calculated during the data load process.

The calculated value represents the total dollar amount for the transaction during the selected reporting period.

The amount represents the total financial activity or balance for the specific fund, account, and section combination during the selected reporting period.

For Revenue and Expenditure transactions:

  • First Half (January-June): Sum of periods 1 through 6 from the ledger.
