Overview

Add or confirm the Investment category in the SGF bank account and create an Investment Interest category to capture interest revenue.

Before you begin


  • You must be a District Administrator to add categories.
  • Work in the correct SGF bank account.
  • Ensure the Investments umbrella type exists (see “Creating Umbrella Types for Investments”).


Steps

  1. From the Main Menu, go to My School Information > Category (Chart of Accounts).
  2. On Category Umbrellas, verify an umbrella named Investments is present and tied to the Investments umbrella type.
  3. In List View, add or confirm the Investment category. Tip: include type and expiry in the name, for example CD #12345 - 10/31/2025.
  4. Add an Investment Interest category with Opening Balance set to 0.00 and assign it to the correct non-investment umbrella per district practice.

Outcome

SGF has an Investment category for principal tracking and an Investment Interest category for revenue.
