- Code Work: All of the common code-work for FS is found in this module, where institutions also can make local code adjustments.
- Reporting: Presently FS is used to report to a number of Norwegian institutions connected to the educational sector (DBH, Lånekassa, SSB, BIBSYS, NIFU and Utdanning.no.). Whereas certain reporting is done on a daily basis, other reports are sent in on a biannual basis.
All modules are connected and to a certain degree dependent on each other.
