Fund numbers when making deposits through Fund Accounting

[Eduardo]

I happened on this through trial and error, and don't see any reference to it here so I wonder if I have it right.

We are currently recording deposits through Fund Accounting, not using the Contributions link for now. All money is deposited to the primary checking account. For unrestricted contributions we enter

01-1110-000 Primary Checking DB $100.00
01-4XXX-000 Unrestricted Income Account CR $100.00

But when we record a deposit of restricted contributions we are entering

02-1110-000 Primary Checking DB $75.00 (Fund 02, for example)
02-4XXX-000 Restricted Income Account CR $75.00

Is this the idea? Both Balance Sheet and Balance Sheet by Fund reports look right, but I don't see anyone referring to the Fund Number when giving examples of restricted deposits here, so I have to wonder...

The restricted income doesn't matter if it is Fund 01, Fund 02, etc. That's not what makes it restricted.

Each restriction needs three unique accounts:
1) Restricted Equity
2) Restricted Income
3) Restricted Release Income

Items 2) and 3) "close to" item 1).

So, for one restriction example, summer camp, you will need:
02-3210-101 Summer Camp Equity (on the Detail tab, choose TEMPORARILY RESTRICTED)
02-4210-101 Summer Camp Income (closes-to 02-3210-101)
02-4810-101 Summer Camp Release (closes-to 02-3210-101)

Then you can make your income entry:
DB 02-1110-000 checking
CR 02-4210-101 Summer Camp Income
