What is it?
An index is a short code for the Fund, Org and Program portions of the FOAPAL accounting string.
For example,
- departmental index: 100000 498 1300 becomes D498
- ancillary index: 120000 621 3001 becomes A621
- research index: 315774 166 2000 becomes 315774
Why is it important?
Most of Carleton University’s financial administrative systems use index to identify the source of funding.
