Overview of the Budget Distribution Process

At the beginning of each fiscal year, the total Educational and General budget for each division, the auxiliary enterprise budgets, and the Unique Military Activities budget will be entered into Banner Finance by major category of expense (salaries, fringes, operations, wages, and recoveries). Budgets will move through the accounting system starting with the Executive Administration and ending in the departmental working fund indexes. An overview of the process to distribute budgets in Banner Finance follows. Please read all sections of this document before entering budget transfers in Banner Finance. Banner Finance uses budget pool funds to facilitate the distribution of budgets to working funds. Contact the Budget Office if you are unsure what the pool funds for your area are. Use these pool funds for budget distributions only; revenues and expenses may not be posted against them. Pool funds should have a budget of zero after budget distribution is completed. Banner Finance form FZABDGT can be used to move budgets from pool funds to working funds. The Office of Budget and Financial Planning will publish a calendar each spring outlining the completion dates for each step of the budget distribution. Following the approval of the University budget, the calendar for distributing budgets begins with the entry of the University level budget pools for the upcoming fiscal year and ends on June 30th, when the budget has been fully distributed. After the VP for Finance & CFO authorizes the University's budget, 1. The Office of Budget and Financial Planning enters base and one-time budgets in pool funds of academic areas while the VP for Admin. & Trans. Ops. distributes the budgets to the admin. areas offsetting revenue budgets, maintaining the system balance. 2. The VP for Admin. & Trans. Ops. uses Banner form FZABDGT to transfer budgets from their pool fund to the pool funds of the Senior Management areas. 3. Either the deans or department managers will make the final distribution from their pool funds to working funds.
Page
Transferring Budgets between Working Funds as the Fiscal Year Progresses Once the base and one-time budgets are distributed and the new fiscal year starts, managers may transfer budgets between working funds within the limits of their system authorization. Banner form FZABDGT can be used to move budgets between funds. Journal type BBO will be used to transfer one-time budgets between funds. New appropriations are authorized by the VP for Finance & CFO, entered by the Office of Budget and Financial Planning, and distributed in a manner similar to the initial budget distribution process.
Additional Information User authorization for fund and journal type access can be attained by contacting the Controllers Office. However, the required forms are found within Appendix 6 on page 35. Both forms should be sent to the Controllers Office, attention Tara Jones. All budget transactions that are made between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays will be posted immediately. Transactions made at any other time will be batch processed overnight and will be effective on the morning of the following business day. If a transaction has been made, but has not yet been posted, it will be reflected on the FGIBAVL form in Banner, but will not be reflected on the other summary forms until it has been processed. Transactions left on the system but not processed within three days time will be deleted from the system. User and management training sessions and materials are available. For information on this or any aspect of the budget transactions procedure, please contact the Banner Finance team (http://www.banner.vt.edu). Additional resources are available by contacting either the Budget Office (http://www.obfp.vt.edu) or the Controllers Office (http://www.co.vt.edu).

Budget Control Levels

Budget control in Banner has been set up to control budgets at the organizational level. Organizational expenditures will not be stopped in Educational & General (E&G) funds or Auxiliary Enterprise funds until all of the E&G budgets or Auxiliary budgets within that organization (department) have been used. Restricted expenditures, such as within Sponsored Programs, continue to be controlled at the individual fund level.
Budget Control Level Example

208 E&G Organization
Administrative Information Systems
Budget Control Level Budget Availability $2,800
Banner Fund 123767 AIS Alumni/Dev Project
Banner Fund 123768 AIS HRIS Project
Banner Fund 121915 AIS Finance Operating
Banner Fund 123766 AIS Student Sys Project
Budget Amount $100
Budget Amount $700
Budget Amount $500
Budget Amount $1500
Note: For E&G Programs, the budget control level is the organization. Therefore, Banner will allow expense transactions up to $2,800 on any fund within this organization.
Similar to E&G programs, the budget control for Auxiliary Enterprises and Overhead is also set at the organizational level. Sponsored Grants, Continuing Education programs, and capital projects will be controlled at the fund level, however, and not by organization. Therefore, for E&G departments and auxiliary enterprises, salary and operating budgets must be distributed to the organizational level.

Banner Non-Sufficient Funds Processing

When an expense transaction is posted in Banner, the system immediately performs available balance checking. If the system determines that there is sufficient budget balance at the budget control level to cover the transaction, then the transaction is posted. If there is an insufficient budget balance at the budget control level, the system will either issue a warning message or an error message. A warning message will allow the transaction to be posted. An error message will cause the transaction to remain in an in process state until sufficient budget balance is made available. Normally, system controls will be set to issue an error message when there is insufficient budget balance to cover an expense transaction. If an organization is in an over-budget status when the system controls are set to issue an error message, budget transfers will only be allowed into the organization to reduce the amount by which it is over budget and all expense transactions will remain in an in process state. At the beginning of the year, the system controls will be temporarily set to issue warnings until all budgets can be distributed within the system. Budget entries are made with the appropriate fund index and budget level account code. The system will sum all budget, expenditure, and encumbrance entries in the control structure to determine whether there are sufficient funds.
Salary Expenses Virginia Tech operates on a twice-monthly payroll calendar. For employees on calendar-year (twelve-month) appointments, departments will see 24 expense charges to their salary funds during the fiscal year. For academic-year (nine-month) faculty, departments will see 18 charges during the year. For calendar-year employees, Banner posts three payrolls in July, two in the months of August through May, and one in June. For academic-year faculty, Banner posts one payroll in August, two in the months of September through April, and one in May. June and July have no regular salary charges. For GTA, GRA, and GA employees, Banner charges expenses on the calendaryear appointment schedule, but only during the term of employment of each person.
Page
Salary Encumbrances Banner Finance posts the encumbrances, generated by Banner HRIS, for the salaries of all active salaried employees at the beginning of the fiscal year. This includes faculty, staff employees and university staff employees, as well as GA, GTA and GRA appointments. Wages, P14s and summer school assignments are not encumbered nor are salaries funded by sponsored grants. All salary encumbrance amounts in Banner are zeroed out and recalculated after each payroll. For each active employee as described above, the new amount is calculated as a projection of salary expenses to be incurred during the remainder of the fiscal year. The calculation is based on beginning and end dates, salary, job status, current funding, and any future changes in funding, salary or status that have been entered in Banner. This causes all changes in Banner to be reflected properly in the salary encumbrance amount. Encumbrance increases for raises occur when the raises are entered in the system, which is typically done at the time the raises become effective. The Available Balance in the non-sufficient funds checking is equal to the Revised Budget MINUS Year-to-date Expenses and Adjusted Encumbrances. [Available Balance = Revised Budget (Year-to-date Expenses + Adjusted Encumbrance)] By including the encumbrance in that formula, dollars are reserved for all the payrolls in the fiscal year, and the Available Balance becomes, more accurately, a projection of the year-end balance. For a department to pass the non-sufficient funds check (at any time during the fiscal year), it must have adequate budget in place to cover all expenses to the end of the fiscal year.
Automatic Transfer of Fringe Budgets To Cover the Cost of Fringe Benefits In Banner Finance, fringe benefit budgets will be moved automatically as the fringe expense is incurred within the Universitys Educational and General programs. Subsequent to each payroll posting, a budget will be transferred automatically into each appropriate fund to equal the amount of fringe benefit expenses incurred to date. These fringe budgets will always be exactly equal to expenses and, thus, have no net effect on a departments available balance. Budgets for fringe benefits are unavailable for use for other types of expenditures or transfer. The automatic transfer of budgets for the cost of fringe benefits will not be made to units responsible for funding this cost (e.g., selfsupporting units will continue to be responsible for the cost of fringe benefits, and the feature describe above will not apply.)
Page
Operating to Salary Transfers Requests to transfer an amount from the operating budget line to the salary budget line should be sent to the Office of Budget and Financial Planning. Whenever an operating to salary transfer is approved in Banner Finance, fringe benefits must also be accounted for in a separate budget transfer completed by the Budget Office. Only the Office of Budget and Financial Planning has the authority to make these types of transfers within the Universitys Educational and General programs. Therefore, please contact the budget office at 231-6419 when proposing operating to salary transfers so that the incremental cost of fringe benefits can be addressed.
