Budget Transfers

Banner Self-Serve Finance enables you to key your own budget transfer requests.  From the Self-Serve Finance main menu choose either Budget Transfer or Multiple Line Budget Transfer.

If you are moving budgeted funds from one account to one other account, the Budget Transfer form is easiest to use.  Key:

• the Transfer dollar amount

• the Index and Account number for the From account

• the Index and Account number for the To account

• and a Description (maximum 35 characters)

Then click complete. 

If you are moving budgeted funds from one account to as many as four other accounts you can use Banner Self-Serve Finance's Multiple Line Budget Transfer form.

This screen has an unusual quirk.  You need to type your indexes into the screen and hit complete before you do anything else.  Banner will verify your indexes and respond by filling in the appropriate fund, org, program, and activity codes.  Then you can enter the rest of your data.

Key:

• the Account number for each of the From accounts
• the Account number for each of the To accounts
• use the drop down box to change the signs.  From accounts should be - and To accounts should be +.
• the total of all From accounts should = the total of all To accounts.
• however you need to add all the dollar amounts as if they had no signs and put the total in the Document Amount box.
  
• add a Description (maximum 35 characters)

Click Complete.

For transfers using more than 5 accounts you need to complete an Excel budget transfer request spreadsheet [xls] and send it to the Controller's Office.
