Synchronize Fund Information
Funds that exist in a financial system may not have been adjusted accordingly in Alma. You use the Fund Allocation Loader to allocate amounts to the funds in Alma. The amount to be adjusted is specified in an Excel file, which is imported via the Fund Allocation Loader. You create a batch file as either a .csv or Excel document, for importing fund information via the Fund Allocation Loader.
The file must contain the headers described in the following table:
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
| FUND_EXTERNAL_ID | The value of the External ID or Code field on the Summary Details page for a fund. This is the identifying value for the fund, and is mandatory. |
| FISCAL_PERIOD_ID | An identifying number for the fiscal period, as displayed in the Fund and Ledger Fiscal Period mapping table. For details, see Configuring Fund and Ledger Fiscal Periods in the Alma Acquisitions Guide. |
| AMOUNT | The amount to be allocated to the specified fund. The value can be either positive or negative (a negative value indicates that money is being taken out of the fund). A value for this column is mandatory, and is numeric only (currency is not specified). |
| TRANSACTION_REFERENCE_NUMBER | A reference number for the transaction. (This is optional and can be viewed on the Transaction Details page.) |
| TRANSACTION_NOTE | A free text note for the transaction. (This is optional and can be viewed on the Transaction Details page.) |
