Self Service Banner Budget Transfers
The Finance Self-Service Budget Transfer Form allows a user to process Budget Adjustment Journal Vouchers on the Web. This form enables the Web user to transfer budget from one FOAPAL to another. The form does not allow completion of documents using Journal Types that are not self-balancing. Introduction
A Budget Transfer Requires: • Fund/Org security • Available Budget • Must be within the same chart for a single line budget transfer
Look Up Codes • Finance Self-Service allows users to look up any of the FOAPAL component codes for a Chart of Accounts. Codes can be queried by ID as well as by Title, and the use of wildcards is permitted. • The Code Lookup function is attached to a number of options from the Finance Menu, including Budget Transfer and Multiple Line Budget Transfer.
Create Multiple Line Budget Transfers Cont. • The Multiple Line Budget Transfer Form is the same as the Budget Transfer Form except that it allows Budget transfers between up to five FOAPALs that can be from the same or different charts. • The fields on these forms are identical.
Create Multiple Line Budget Transfers Cont. • In each document created, the pluses (transfers to) must equal the minuses (transfers from). • These amounts must offset one another and add up to the Document Amount. • This form is not meant to allow completion of documents using a Journal Type other than AU04 (Temporary Budget Adjustment).
Online Finance Approvals • Choose Complete to perform a validation and forward the document for processing • The document will route through the online approval process • The online approval process is very similar to the Web based online budget change order system currently being utilized in FRS Plus
