A Budget Code can be a complex item to understand, but something that makes it a little bit more manageable, is the Fund component. The Fund determines from which large "bucket" of reserved money, the money for that particular budget code will come. For instance, most districts have a General Fund but may also have a Grant Fund.
When Configuring Time & Attendance in SchoolFront, it is important to enter all the Funds for the district so the system will know from where the budget codes to pay for each employee's type of time will come. For instance, an employee may have a different budget code for Straight Time Pay, for Over Time Pay, and pay for an Ancillary Position. Depending on the district, there may be several Funds, or just one, but the Fund or Funds must be entered to indicate the source of the money. This article describes the process for configuring the Time & Attendance platform with the district's Funds.
