Funding Sources

A funding source is an entity that provides all or partial funds (or capital) used to pay for the cost of a project. These funds can be allocated for either short term or long term purposes. Funding sources allow you to establish where funds are being endowed for budget line items, commitments and/or invoices. Once funding is enabled for a particular component, e-Builder prompts users to make a selection before adding a budget line item, processing a commitment or invoice to ensure consistent usage throughout the life of the project.

Funding rules is an associated concept used in the Cost module with regard to funding management. They are a combination of funding sources, with a set percentage of dollars spread out among them and these funding rules are selected when adding budget line items or processing commitments and invoices.
