YEAR
The first dimension denotes the school fiscal year by using the last two digits of the year in which the school year ends. For instance, the school year beginning September 2016 and ending in June 2017 would be identified in this dimension as 17.
FUND
As its name implies, the dimension called Fund, identifies the source of revenue, or where the money comes from for an expense, such as Special Revenue (Fund 20), Current Expense (Fund 11), or Student Activities (Fund 95).

This dimension is used to identify programs within Current Expense such as Bilingual, Special Education, Athletics and Student Activities. All State and Federal Grants in Fund 20 are identified by the use of this dimension. Scholarships (program 950) and Student Club/Athletic Activities (900) are also defined with this element.

This dimension describes the activity for which a service or material is required. The major function codes are 100 for Instruction and 200 for Support Services, such as Attendance, Guidance or Health Services.
