In many cases revenue that comes from Grants allows a portion of the Grant to be used to cover the administration of the Grant itself.  ESP™ can assist in the budgeting of Grants as well as the administration fees.

Before the Administration Fees can be calculated, the expected revenue for each Grant must be entered by creating Full Element Adjustments for the Revenue Account(s) that will receive the revenue.  In many cases these Elements will not exist and they will need to be created.
