Funding Summary (Home-based) - will allow you to view funding values broken down into the various funding types for the selected funding period. The report will be split by room/caregiver.
Please note: if your service over enrols children, this report will not be accurate. This is because the report calculates funding for each category of Sign in Sheet individually; therefore, capping cannot be performed. For example, say the service is licensed for 20 children, and they have 10 in Blue Room and 11 in Red Room. If the Funding Summary report is run, then funding will be capped at 20. If Funding Summary (Home Network) is run, the figures are first extracted for Blue Room and then for Red Room, and the report does not know how many children are allowed in each room. Further, this whole report is a bit hypothetical as the MoE does not split funding into different rooms.
This report can only be used to get an idea of the split of funding between the various categories/rooms. If the user wants accurate figures for the entire license, the Funding Summary must be used instead. Remember that funding cannot be accurately predicted over a period, as the staff percentage can only be accurately determined for the whole funding period.
