UAFR - Fund/Program Code Termination Dependency Procedures

Terminating an individual FOAPAL code segment prevents future transactions from posting to that specific code. Terminating FOAPAL segments that are no longer needed is a good business practice as it can prevent misclassified transactions from posting to the unused code segments.

Funds and program codes cannot be terminated until dependencies associated with the codes have been cleared.

If a program code is being terminated in conjunction with a fund code, do not request the program code to be terminated until the fund is ready to be terminated. The program code may be needed in the fund termination process.

1. Login to EDDIE.
2. Select “Folders”, “Public Folders” and “Finance Standard Reports”.
3. From the “Folders” list, select “FIDR_Fund_Code_Dependency_Report” if terminating a fund code or “FIDR_Program_Code_Dependency_Report” if terminating a program code.
4. Select the “Refresh” button at the top of the report:
   
5. Enter the chart into the “Enter value for CoA” field and fund or program code into the “Enter value for Fund Code” and “Enter Value for Program Code” fields as appropriate.
   1. Results will show all “Roles” (FINMGR, GLDC, etc) associated with the Fund/Program code as well as any dependencies that need to be resolved before the Fund/Program code can be terminated. See below for the types of dependencies and the steps necessary to remove them.

Types of Dependencies and Actions to Clear Them

Incomplete or Unapproved Invoices

NBRJLBD – Labor Distribution or NBRPLBD – Position Labor Distribution

• Unit will need to work with their unit Human Resources (HR)  to have the positions closed or moved to a different C-FOAP. See below for some resources for clearing labor dependencies:

    • The ‘Position Creation and Maintenance’ job aid located within the System HR Front End site contains procedures on changing CFOAPALs.
  • NOTE: Even if the report indicates “0 Active Jobs associated with Position”, if position numbers are listed, these need to be resolved before the code can be terminated.

Index Codes

• Index codes do not prevent termination of a fund or program code. Index codes associated with a fund or program code being terminated will automatically be terminated by UAFR when the associated fund code or program code termination request is processed.

TBRACCT – AR Detail Codes

• Status Ind = N
  • Detail codes have been inactivated, no additional steps needed.
• Status Ind = Y
  • Determine if Detail Code is Financial Aid related and/or term based.
    • Consult the crosswalks (columns E, F/G).
      
    • Search column B “DETC” of cross walk spreadsheet for the detail code in question.
    • If column E “TRMBASED” is “Y”, this detail code is term based.
      • To inactive or update the code, reach out to Billing Services at bursarbillservices@uillinois.edu to request updates/terminations.

• For self-supporting funds, consult with UAFR on any fund or program code balances.

FGBGENL – Fiscal Year General Ledger Balance

• The general ledger fund balance, as well as the current balance for each GL account code must be $0 before a fund can be terminated.
