   Note: Effective Status defaults to blank. You can use the dropdown to select only Active SpeedTypes.
4. Click Search.
5. Select the appropriate SpeedType from the list of results. If your search produced only one result, you’ll already be on the CU SpeedType lookup screens.
6. On the ChartFields tab, you’ll see status, FOPPS (Fund, Org, Program, Project, Subclass), and Activity.
7. On the Org/Program/Project Attributes and Fiscal Staff tabs, you’ll find out who holds fiscal roles related to this SpeedType.
8. For Fund 34 SpeedTypes, the Gift Attributes tab displays gift purpose code, description, and available balance.

Helpful tip!

When looking up SpeedTypes, always navigate to “CU SpeedTypes.” If you look up ChartField values and see a navigation to “SpeedTypes” – don’t use it. You won’t find any of our CU SpeedTypes there!
