Upcoming Mainframe Changes & Important Rules to

Remember

Important Rules to RememberProcessing Rules for Budget Transfers:

1. Full-time GL Codes: These are restricted GL Codes and cannot be used by Campus Budget Manager. (51000, 51100, 51200, 52001, 52002, 52003, 52004, 52005, 52300, 53000, 53300, 54000).

2. Pool GL Codes: Do not process any budget transfers using the pool GL codes (50000,60000,70000). All transactions should be processed to/from the specific GL Code(s) with an assigned budget. If any transactions are created using the pool GL Codes, they will be rejected by the Budget Department.

3. Negative Balance: Do not decrease a Budget Transfer from a GL Code that does not have a budget, because this creates a Negative Budget. Any transaction of this type will be rejected by the Budget Department.

Types of Budget Transfers (FUND 1)What BT type should I use? (Con’t.):

TP-REALL, PM-REALL, TP-AMEND and PM-AMEND BTs: Used when transferring outside the Budget Manager’s GL

Groups. Ex. English Dept. to Mathematics Dept. or among different Campus/District Area.

In these types of transactions the Budget Manager enters and electronically approves the transaction; the transfer is sent to the approval queue of the Budget Manager of the other user group for approval.

After this is approved the BT will go to Budget for final approval and then it will post to the general ledger, unless over $5,000.

BTs over $5,000 will go for approval to the Dean of Admin. for Campus accounts or the Division Head for District accounts, and then it will go to Budget for final approval and posting to the general ledger.
