FOAPAL (fund, org, account, program, activity, location) is an accounting system used throughout McGill University. It is limited to organizations directly associated with McGill; faculties, professors, departments, services, and so on within McGill all have a FOAPAL number to charge and receive payments.
The EUS is not part of McGill (see What Isn't the EUS), and is therefore not entitled to a FOAPAL number.
The advantage of FOAPAL numbers is easy transactions with professors, departmental committees, university affairs, etc.; unfortunately the EUS does not have and will not have this feature in the forseeable future.
