Organizations

Organizations in KFS uniquely identify units or groups of accounts within the system. Organizations in KFS are defined by a 4 character code. Each Organization Code can report to another organization, creating a hierarchy.

Organizational Hierarchy

Each organizational will belong to a level within the organizational hierarchy. Below is an example of an Organizational Hierarchy:

The Chart of Accounts Inquiry report can be used to see a listing of all organization codes.
