We track the actual fund numbers in the Alternate Numbers field.  We use the Valuation/Insurance tab to record the purchase price, seller, etc.

Subject: Where do you record funding codes for acquisitions?

External Email - Exercise Caution
Our department has had a good number of internal funding lines throughout our history, and I'm trying to clean up a lot of legacy records and standardize more recent ones. I don't generally poke around in the acquisitions minutiae, preferring to leave that to someone else, so I'm not that familiar with some of the options in the Registration drop-down. Looking around in Accessioning and in Valuation / Insurance, I don't see any obvious field for this. I assume I'll need to create a Flex Field in Accessioning, but I was hoping for something a bit simpler to query out. Has anyone repurposed a field for this (or similar) purpose? Or is there something sitting there already that I'm not seeing (or understanding)?

Thanks!
David
