  1. On the start page, select Fund Accounting, then State.

  2. From the MEIS Reference Tables - MI menu, select Function List.

  3. Enter the Search Criteria to find the required function list records, and then select Search.
    Refer to Search for Records for more information.

    • To add a record, select Add Record. Refer to the Field descriptions, enter valid information, and select Save.

    • To edit a record, select the ellipsis in the Actions column, then select Edit.

    • To delete a record, select the ellipsis in the Actions column, select Delete, then select Yes.
