Key Terminology
• KFS Account: A pool of funds for a designated purpose. In relation to research, usually an award budget would reside in a single account specific to that project. A single award can be associated with a single account (thus, the BA document will only contain one account).
• KFS Object Code: A fine-grained identifier used to track income and expenses (budget & actual) on a KFS account.
• KC Budget Category: A broad identifier used to categorize expenses on a KC proposal budget.
• KC Object Code: A fine-grained identifier used to categorize expenses when creating a budget. Object codes have a “many-to-one” relationship to KC Budget Categories.
