Lesson 3.1: Activity

Practical Activity: Conceptualizing Fund Structure

Objective: Understand how FastFund identifies Funds within the account structure.

1. Navigate to Segment Definitions: From the Main Menu, select Lists, then under Chart of Accounts, click on Segments.

2. View Fund Segment: In the Segment Type dropdown, select Fund. Observe the list of funds currently defined (e.g., 01 Unrestricted, 02 Temporarily Restricted).

3. Review Structure: Note that the “Fund” is the first segment of the account number. This placement ensures that every transaction is immediately tagged to a specific self-balancing fund for proper classification
