Required Fields for Grant Applications

Required Fields for Grant Applications

There are several fields that FIMS requires you to enter data into before an Application can receive an error-free edit report and be posted into history.

Approved Applications:

• ID Code of the Grantee

• Grant Date

• Action Code = Approved

• Grant Amount

• Payment Plan with Payment Date, Payment Amount and Fund ID. The total of these line items must equal the Grant Amount.

Denied Applications:

• ID Code of the Grantee

• Grant Date (in this case the vote date)

• Action Code = Denied

Note: If you change an application’s status from Approved to Denied, be sure to change the Grant Amount to zero. FIMS does not make this change automatically. There is also a System Option (denied_app_error_type) that you can set to indicate whether you want denied applications with a non-zero Grant Amount to generate an error or a warning on the Grant Application Edit Report. Refer to System Options –Grantee and Grant Management for more information.
