A Fast Index is a data entry shortcut code that represents a Fund-Organization-Program combination to facilitate accuracy. A Fast Index code should be used for any combination of required elements codes that will be used on a regular basis.
Account codes must be selected for each and every transaction and are not included in a Fast Index.
Fast Index Codes are three to six character alpha codes (e.g. FIR or FSYWOM). The first character is always F, which stands for Fast Index.
