There is a System Option titled Allow Blank Codes in the Fund section. What happens if I choose Yes vs. No?
Answer:
The Allow Blank Code system option can be set in Tools > System Utilities > System Options:
When the system option is turned to "Yes":
- It is possible for the File Maintenance >Funds >AutoBuild G\L Accounts process to add accounts even though some values in the fund are empty or blank.
- Typically when you create a new fund and fill in the fund codes, when you save the record, a question asking if you want to build the GL accounts will pop-up. This message box will not pop-up if there are any fund codes blank since they system doesn't know that you have finished coding the record. It will be necessary for you to manually invoke the Autobuild G\L Accounts process.
- When you run the File Maintenance >Funds >AutoBuild G\L Accounts process, it will not build the accounts for this fund and a message similar to this will be displayed:
Auto-build is complete.1 fund was selected for auto-build. 1 fund was skipped because the fund class code is blank. 0 GL accounts built. 0 funds had GL accounts built.
