Chart of Account Code Designations

For General Ledger type account codes, you must assign a designation code (Maintain>Chart of Accounts Codes>Setup tab). Designation codes are based on the segment type chosen and the Function designated (N/A, Program, Fund, and Restriction) when the organization was created by the Administrator (File>New Organization). The function can also be changed using the Organization Information form.

N/A Function

If a segment was set up with a function of N/A and it is the general ledger segment, it can be assigned any of the designations below. If it is any other segment, a designation code cannot be selected.

Program Function

If a segment was set up with a function of PGM (program), it can be assigned a designation of Program Expenses, Fundraising Expenses, or Management & General Expenses.

Defaults for the Form 990 line numbers will be given based on the program designation and what IRS Tax Form Preference was selected by the Administrator (Organization>Organization Information). By mapping the PGM segment code to the appropriate Designation and 990 Line Number using either the Chart of Accounts or Assign Report Groups forms, results in a worksheet that automatically categorizes your Program Expense, Management and General, and Fundraising columns of the IRS Form 990.

Restriction Function

If a segment was set up with a function of RES (restriction), it can be assigned a designation of Unrestricted, Temporarily Restricted, or Permanently Restricted net assets.

Defaults for the Form 990 line numbers will be given based on restriction designation and what IRS Tax Form Preference was selected by the Administrator (Organization>Organization Information). By mapping the RES segment code to the appropriate Designation and 990 Line Numbers using either the Chart of Accounts or Assign Report Groups forms, will result in a worksheet that automatically categorizes your Unrestricted, Temporarily Restricted, and Permanently Restricted net assets of the IRS Form 990. As of December 15, 2017, ASC 958 modified or eliminated the distinctions between temporarily restricted and permanently restricted assets. All funds without donor-imposed restrictions must be classified as unrestricted, regardless of the existence of any board designations or appropriations. Line 28, Temporarily Restricted Net Assets, can be used to show the balance per books of net assets with donor-imposed restrictions that may require resources to be used after a specified date (time restrictions), or used for a specified purpose (purpose restrictions), or both. Organizations may also opt to leave Line 28 blank and report all net assets subject to donor-imposed restrictions on Line 29. This designation also determines how your ASC 958 (FAS 117 superseded) financial statements are presented.
