System Offices Budget Transfer Approval Queue Training FAQ

This is a FAQ for the System Offices Budget Transfer Approval Queue

Units can process temporary budget adjustments in Banner or via Finance Feeder Front-End. Below are the prerequisites and procedures for the new process.

Completion of the JV Certification Course and access to Rule Code Groups B02 (same-chart) and B03 (intercampus) is required to process these JVs. Access to this rule code group should be requested through your USC and is dependent upon budget office approval.

  • Use Rule Code 214 for temporary same chart budget transfers
  • Use Rule Code 215 for temporary intercampus budget transfers (budget transfers that cross charts)

Use of Banner Forms FGAJVCM and FGAJVCQ is recommended (UAFR - Creating a Journal Voucher with FGAJVCD and FGAJVCQ (uillinois.edu) or UAFR - Creating a Journal Voucher with FGAJVCM (uillinois.edu))
