USING PEACHTREE ACCOUNTING FOR FUNCTIONAL FUND ACCOUNTING



SET UP ACCOUNTS USING DEPARTMENTS FOR FUNDS

Suggestion - Use 8-character account numbers:
    nnnnffff    where n = account number
                      f = fund number (or abbrev.)

Make an Equity account (doesn't close) for each fund.
Make one "Current Gain/Loss" Equity account (doesn't close)
   (suggestion: 3900)

Make an Income account for each appropriate income for each fund.
Make an Expense account for each appropriate expense for each fund.

Set up an Income/Expense report for each fund.

Post every income or expense transaction to the income or expense
    account of the fund involved.

At the end of the month, find out the amount of change in each 
    fund by using the Income/Expense report.
  Make a journal entry to each fund's Equity account for the
    amount of change in the fund.
      For an increase, credit the fund and debit Current Gain/Loss
      For a decrease, debit the fund and credit Current Gain/Loss

In setting up the printed Income/Expense report for each fund, 
  use the Equity account on the last line, thus providing the 
  Ending Balance for the report.
