Accounting Strips
The Accounting Strips screen allows users to set up users' permission to specific accounts, which can be broken down by elements and modules, such as FA (Fixed Assets) or HR/PR (Human Resources/Payroll). Once given permission, users can use the accounts to make purchases, make changes, and more. For example, if a user has permission to an accounting strip in AP (Accounts Payable), the user can use that account to pay for a PO.
1a. In ERP, in the Setup menu, click Accounting Strips.
1b. In SIS, in the Billing menu, click Accounting Strips.
The Accounting Strip Permissions table displays users and their current account permissions including the User name, the Type of account, the applicable elements, such as Fund, Function, Object, etc., and the applicable modules, such as AP (Accounts Payable), AR (Accounts Receivable), etc.
When you are creating new accounting strips, Focus ensures the resulting strip(s) only comprise elements for which you have access.
2. To add an accounting strip permission, enter information in the top row.
3. Start by selecting the User from the pull-down.
4. Select the Type of account from the pull-down: Expense, Revenue, or Internal.
5. Enter the applicable element codes in the provided text boxes, such as Fund, Function, Object, Facility, Project, Program, Revenue, Internal Activity, Internal Sponsor, etc.
Wildcards can be used in element codes; i.e. If the user should have access to all functions beginning with "5," you can type "5XXX" in the Function text box. The X stands in as your wildcard.
If the user should have access to all element codes, you can enter an asterisk (*) in the provided text box. For example, if the user should have access to all functions tied to Fund 100, enter an asterisk (*).
6. Select all applicable modules for which the accounting strip is allowed to be used, such as AP (Accounts Payable), AR (Accounts Receivable), FA (Fixed Assets), HR/PR (Human Resources/Payroll), WH (Warehouse), and/or FIN (Finance) for Budgeting/General Ledger screens.
7. Select the READONLY check box to give the user permission to ready only or view but not use/edit. For example, if a user has permission to a specific accounting strip in the AP module, the user can view a PO that contains that accounting strip but cannot create a PO with said accounting strip.
8. When all information is entered or selected, press the Enter key to save the line of data.
You will know the data has saved because the line displays with the delete button (red minus sign).
You can repeat these steps as many times as needed to add different accounting strips or for different types of accounts, such as revenue accounts.
