MFS Project Funding Set Up (QRG)

This Quick Reference Guide (QRG) is designed to walk a Multi-Funding Source Manager (Projects) through project funding set-up in Workday.  The Multi-Funding Source Manager (Projects) role is given on a very limited basis.  If you do not have the role and think you should have the role, please talk with someone in your dean’s office or your unit’s finance office before requesting the role. 

All Projects should have Multi-Funding Source (MFS) set-up which includes Funding Sources and Funding Source Rules.  MFS is a process that runs, overnight, to reclassify the worktags on a transaction to the worktags assigned during the MFS set-up process. There are multiple tasks to set-up MFS for Projects.  If all tasks are not set up correctly, MFS will not run when that project worktag is used and all worktags will stay as they are on the original transaction or MFS will run and hit the default funding source.
