Manage an expired Funding Source

Funding sources are used to determine DSS reporting program and the range of services available under that program. You are required to maintain the expiry date on your Funding Sources.

One week prior to funding source expiry CDS CRM will automatically email all database managers who have an email address registered in the database to inform them of funding source expiry.

Once you receive the email follow the process below to update the funding source.

Instructions

Step 1. Log into your CRM database (refer to Logging On for further information).

Step 2. Select Funding Sources from the Top menu.

Step 6. If the program is funded by DSS contact DEX help desk and ask if the funding source can be extended.

Ensure you identify the funding source by its Outlet and Activity ID displayed in the database.

If DEX extends the existing funding source continue from step 7, otherwise request a new activity for your organisation via your DEX login

Step 7. Click Edit on the funding source record

Modify the END DATE to the new expiry date issued by DEX

Step 8. Save the funding source

Note: Extending the funding source expiry is the recommended method to ensure data is reportable. 
This is preferable to DSS providing a new Funding Source with a different ID which will require CDS to 
install the Funding Source.
