  4. Enter the effective date in the EFFECTIVE DATE field (using MM-DD-YYYY format).
  5. Enter the fund (if one exists) in the FUND field.

    Note: If the proper four-digit fund number is not used, the following error message appears: Property Accounting Record Not In Suspense. Before beginning, verify that the key information is correct in order to pull up the proper record.

  6. Change the acquisition method in the ACQ METHOD field.
  7. Press Enter.
