Whether you need to establish a starting fund allocation or shift an existing fund allocation up or down, the basic process remains the same:

  • Login to Alma
  • Navigate to Acquisitions > Acquisitions Infrastructure > Funds and Ledgers
  • Edit the Ledger that contains the fund
  • Click on the Funds tab
  • Find the fund that needs to be updated and click Edit
  • Click the Transactions tab
  • Click Allocate Funds
  • Enter the Allocation Amount
    • If your fund balance is $0: enter the total fund allocation amount
    • If your fund balance is already set and you are adjusting the allocation:
      • Perform the math to determine how much money needs to be added/removed from the existing allocation to get the new allocation you want for the fund
      • For example, if you have a fund allocated $100 and you want to change it to $200, then the Allocation amount entered into Alma would be $100 – the amount needed to get from the existing $100 allocation to the new $200 allocation.
  • Add a transaction note if desired.
