Region

The Region (REGION) page is required reference data setup when controlling reimbursement budget transactions with the Funding Source Control (FSC) page is desired. Regions are defined areas where funds are authorized for spending. Each department defines their own regions so one department may divide an area into zones while another uses counties or districts. Please note regions are a separate definition from the Location chart of account element, while the two could be loaded with the same data.  

For instances where use of the FSC page is desired but the funding is not tied to a region or does not need to be controlled by region, Region setup is still required as the Region field on the FSC page cannot be blank and there is no special wildcard allowed. A region has to be setup that would equate to ‘no specific region.’ Examples could be a Region code of ALL, ANY, NONE, N/A, or the abbreviation of your government.
