1. Chart of Accounts (COA)

Chart of Accounts (COA) is the set of tables that define the codes and coding structures within KFS, such

as Chart, Accounts, Organizations and Object Codes that are all part of the COA.

The COA exists primarily to support and validate entries into the General Ledger (GL). For example,

transactions cannot be applied to an account in the GL unless that account first exists in the COA.

The main elements of the Chart of Accounts consist of:

o Chart = Campus

o Organization = OU code

o Account = Activity

o Object = Account

Each of the above mentioned elements play a role in reporting, workflow or the capturing of transactions.

A transaction needs three of the abovementioned elements (segments) to be valid and proceed in the

process.

2. Chart

Define the valid charts that make up the high-level structure of the KFS Chart of Accounts.

Accounts and Object Codes are associated with a chart.

Chart is represented in KFS by a one character code.

At the NWU the Chart represents the different campuses.

Each Chart has an “owner” - Campus Chart Manager.

3. Organization

The Organization defines the entities representing units at many different levels within the institution.

Organization is an important part of the Chart of Accounts and the Organization hierarchy is frequently

leveraged by KFS for use in workflow and reporting.

The Organization hierarchy is defined using the Organization “Reports to Chart and Organization Code”.

At the NWU the Organization represents the Organization unit - a unique four-digit code created and

assigned by HR. Organization in KFS will be the same as in HR.

The Organization manager is the person responsible for the Organization. However, this is not the person

who receives the workflow items.

The Organization Type is used to categorize Organizations for reporting purposes. The Organization types

are created and assigned by HR.

The Organization in KFS only represents the hierarchy and does not form part of the accounting string.

An account is used to identify a pool of funds assigned to a specific university organizational entity for a

specific purpose.

An account has many different attributes associated with it that often determine how the KFS allows you to

use that account in transactions. It also has attributes associated with it for reporting purposes.

The account number is a seven-digit code.

An account is unique and is associated with and Organization. Not making use of generic accounts within

KFS.

Attributes of Account: These attributes are powerful features that can expand the reporting capabilities of the system.

By understanding the different attributes, their meaning and purpose the users will be empowered and that

will contribute to a better understanding of why certain rules apply.

4.1. Account Type Code:

o The Account Type Code classifies/categorize the accounts by their nature and according to certain

criteria e.g. 1) Conducting research 2) having a contract.

o The criteria ensure that newly created accounts with certain features and the same nature (as in

the abovementioned example) will have the same Account Type Code.

o The Account Type Code is used for sorting and reporting purposes.

o At NWU the Account Type Code represent classes of accounts e.g. the Account Type Code for all

NRF research accounts is an “S”.

o The Account Type Code form part of the account number – the sight value will assist users in

identifying the different types of accounts.

4.3. Fund Group Code

The Fund Group is used to define the broadest category of funds. Fund group defines the

control/discretion (“authority”) of the council over the funds in a specific account.

The Department of Higher Education and Training requires fund accounting reports. To comply with

that every account must be assigned to a specific fund presenting the control/discretion of the

institution’s council over the funds in that account.

The Fund Group is used for reporting and business rules.

Note that the Fund Group is an attribute of the Sub-Fund Group.

Values for Fund Group are:

Fund Group Code Fund Group Name Fund Group Explanation

UN UNRESTRICTED Funds that may be used for any purpose the council deems necessary.

DS DESIGNATED Funds for which the council stipulates a specific use, thereby “designating” that funds for that purpose only.

RC RESTRICTED – CONTRACT

Funds that are received by the Institution for a specific purpose and must be used only for that purpose. A contract is involved which stipulates the benefits deriving from the activity undertaken will accrue the third party.

RE RESTRICTED – DONATIONS

Funds that are received via a donation for a specific purpose and must be used only for that purpose. There is normally no clause requiring the institution to accrue any benefits deriving from the activity to the donor.

RL RESTRICTED – STUDENT LOANS

Funds that are received by the Institution for a specific purpose and must be used only for that purpose – in this instance student loans.

AC RESTRICTED – RESIDENCES

PP FIXED ASSETS FUND Funds invested in fixed properties, moveable property, construction and movable assets in progress.

FA FIXED ASSETS ADDITIONS & RENEWALS

4.4. Sub-Fund Group Code Since the funds group defines the control/discretion (“authority”) of the council over the funds in a

specific account the Sub-Fund Group Code refines the fund groups into more specific categories.

For example the fund group designated funds (DS) is divided into

DSSUP (support department’s activities of which the funds are designated,

DSACA (academic department’s activities of which the funds are designated and

DSSTU (student activities of which the funds are designated).

Sub-Fund Group may be used for business rules on the KFS transactional documents.

For example: In an account were student bursaries are administrated the creation of a requisition to

acquire stationary is not allowed. Thus the business rules of requisitions in KFS will ensure that on

accounts with a sub-fund of REBUR (restricted donations: bursaries) requisitions will not be allowed.

Object Code Consolidation Code is an attribute of the Object Level and it further groups the object level

codes into the higher object summary. For example, you might define Permanent salaries and Ad hoc

salaries as separate levels but both report to the consolidation code Salaries.

The code enables you to report the object code balances in summary and set business rules for the

transactional documents or processes.

Values for the Object Consolidation Code are:

5.5. Object Sub-Type Code The Object Sub-Type is used to further refine object type. Object Sub-Type can be used for reporting

and in some instances for the establishment of business rules on transaction documents (for example,

a document might restrict the use of object codes belonging to a certain object sub-type).

The Object Sub-Type Codes are extensively used by the system in particular, by CAM (Capital Asset

Manager) and CAB (Capital Asset Builder). Values for object sub-types

The Object Sub-Type of all objects that belong to the object type “assets” will start with an “A”. The

sub-types of “liabilities” will begin with an “L”.

Values for object sub-types are:
