Technical review check

EPA-CONTRIBFatal (F)

A contribution to the Education Protection Account

CDE's wordingThere should be no contributions (objects 8980-8999) to the Education Protection Account (Resource 1400).

Fatal. The Official Export will not run until it is cleared.

What it means

A contribution to the Education Protection Account

Resource 1400 (EPA) cannot receive contributions (objects 8980-8999). EPA is spent on what its revenue covers; a shortfall is not plugged from unrestricted.

Why it fires

The usual causes

  • EPA spending set above EPA revenue and a contribution posted to cover it
  • A contribution mapped to 1400 by mistake
How to fix it

The repair

  • Remove the contribution; reduce the spending charged to 1400 to its revenue, or move the excess to unrestricted.
