Navigation:  Commitment Control > Budget Journal > Enter Budget Transfer

1. The Enter Budget Transfer search page displays.
2. If you have run this process or report in the past, select the Find an Existing Value tab to enter an existing Run Control ID and select the Search button. If this is the first time running this process or report, select the Add a New Value tab to create a new Run Control ID and select the Add button. 
   • NOTE: It is important to note that Run Control IDs cannot be deleted. Do not include spaces in your Run Control. We encourage the Run Control ID to have the same process naming convention but unique to the step; because of this, including your institution code and a short process description in the Run Control ID is recommended--e.g., WA140_BUDGET_TRANSFER (Business Unit, Process).
3. The Enter Budget Transfer page displays.
4. On the Budget Header tab page, enter the following field values:
   1. In the Ledger Group field, enter or lookup CC_ORG. This is the non-project ledger where budgets are posted. Note: enter Project budgets through the Grants/Contract/Project module. For more info on Grants/Contracts, please see QRG Commitment Control Summary for Grants/Contracts/Projects.
   2. In the Budget Entry Type drop-down list, select Transfer Original for base budget amounts and Transfer Adjustment for additional budget amounts.
   3. Check the Generate Parent Budget box, unless the box is already grayed out. The grayed out box indicates that your user preference was modified to check this box for you. NOTE: The Parent Budget Entry Type should be the same as Budget Entry Type.

   5. In the Long Description field, enter a detailed description of the budget transfer.
5. Select the Attachments (0) link to add supporting document(s) to the budget journal. When selected, the Budget Journal Attachments window opens. By selecting the checkbox 'Show Approver?' it enables approvers to view attachment(s).

This field is required for reporting purposes and will allow the budget entries to report in a query format using QFS_KK_BUDGET_EXPENSE_BALANCE. Budget Journals should be entered separately by the type of budget described in the Alternate Description.
   • PERMANENT = The budget for the year.
