The Banner HierarchyDefinition:

All chart of Account elements in Banner are in a hierarchical structure. Every code is assigned a predecessor code to define a roll-up, that allows easy grouping and summarizing for reporting.

The higher levels of this hierarchical structure are not data enterable. These levels are used for reporting purposes and budget control/checking.

FOAP Coding RulesFOAP’s are the basic coding format for all transactions that occur in Banner.

All transactions MUST have a complete FOAP string. The Account Codes available for your use include Revenues which begin with 5XXX and non-salary expenditures that begin with 7XXX.

Fund Code ElementDefinition:

This element shows ownership of cash or fund balance. The basis for creating the Fund Code for the new Chart of Accounts was the Fund Code on the AMIS Chart. A Fund is a self-balancing set of accounts, in which transactions are recorded and segregated to carry on specific activities or attain certain objectives in accordance with prevailing regulations, restrictions, or limitations. A fund is created to allow for a fund balance, which can be used to track the historical status of a component without creating a separate Chart.
