Source of funds (SOF)
A source of funds is a specific source of income requiring tracking and reporting. This is an eight digit code and the first three digits identify the member country providing the funds, with the other five uniquely identifying the award. A SOF code is required for all income & expenditure transactions and some balance sheet transactions. An example is:
84044775 Creating Brighter Futures Source country: US
It is important to note that SCI’s grant management system (AMS) will hold the member legacy SOF code but will also assign a new SCI SOF code. For coding transactions the SCI SOF code should be used.
Donor expenditure analysis (DEA)
This is a unique 6 digit code, (or 5-digit code for awards that commenced prior to April 2013 and are still live) that can be used for identifying costs by donor budget categories. This will enable the country office to both manage their budget and report against donor budgets at the level of detail specified in the award agreement. A donor expenditure analysis is required for all expenditure transactions. The DEA is specific to each SOF, according to the donor requirements, and is loaded into Agresso using an excel based tool. The rules function within Agresso means that expenditure coded to the DEA used will only relate to the SOF that the DEA has been set up for, ie. If the correct DEA has been used, it is not possible for expenditure to be posted to the wrong SOF.
The DEA’s are based on the donor report codes (DRC’s) that are input into Agresso from the budget lines in fund summaries. The DRC’s provide the level of detail that country offices will report back to members and the exact level of detail that needs to be reported to donors.
Analysis
Unlike the other posting attributes this field varies, depending on the account code you select for a transaction.
For example, if you select the account code 5030 – Vehicles - the analysis field will be named vehicle and you must then enter a vehicle code.
Alternatively, if you select the account code 4920 – Relocation expenses - the analysis field will be named staff, and you must then enter a staff ID number.
Below is a list of the coding information that may be required in this field, depending on account code entered:
