  6. Budget/Expense Support Contacts Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  7. Assumptions Your budget has already gone through the program review process, Board approval, and is now loaded in Datatel. “You” are now ready to spend your funds for your program. Everything is in place for you to move forward.. So, how do I begin? Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  8. Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  9. DEFINITIONS… Fund: This is the first 3 digit number of the Datatel account string that identifies the Fund your budget is posted to and the fund to where expenses will be posted to or from. Cost Center: 6 digit identifier following fund number[first 3 numbers]. Other than the fund number, this is the biggest fund identifier used to identify the actual fund you are spending from. Line Item/Line Item Detail: This is the line on your Datatel report that gives you information pertaining to an object code purchase. Information includes date paid, voucher number, amount, purchase order amount, purchase order change, and can include budget transfer changes and expense transfer changes along with object code totals. Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  10. Definitions continued… Object Code: This is the 5 digit general ledger code identifying the place where your budget and expenses are located within the fund and costcenter. Each object code total shows you how much has been budgeted and expended within the fiscal year program operations. Encumbrance: An encumbrance is a purchase requisition that has gone through our Purchasing Department and is ready to spend against. Think of a encumbrance as another name for your Purchase Order. It is money set aside for a specific intentional purchase. Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  11. Definitions continued…. Available Balance: Available balance is how much money is actually left over and available to spend AFTER your posted expenses and encumbrances. It is your NET BALANCE, net after all expenses have been posted and encumbrances [purchase orders] have been posted and updated. [It is what you have left in your pocket]. General Fund Accounts: These are Non-Grant driven funds that are, for the most part, NOT restricted with specific spending limitations. Categorical Funds have VERY specific regulations as to HOW the funds are expended and are workplan driven for specific results. Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  12. Definitions continued… General Fund: Fund 100 These are funds the college acquires thru non-grant activities, that come through State apportionment, and are not restrictive in their spending requirements. Exceptions: Fund 017 as these are student fees collected and can only be spent on material costs for the class/program for the student. These costs are directly related to the student in particular and the class in particular. Categorical Funds: These are restricted funds that, in some ways, are grant driven. The restrictions are set by the grantor agency in line with the workplan guidelines. These restrictions are set in advance and cannot be modified. Example: Tech Prep Grant cannot purchase equipment under any conditions. Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  13. Definitions continued… Budget Transfer The movement of allocated [budgeted] funds from one object code to another within the same fund and costcenter. Expense Transfer The movement of expenses from one object code to another within the same fund and costcenter; The movement of expenses from one fund and costcenter to another fund and costcenter; Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  14. Definitions continued… Credit Card Transfer: The process of transferring credit card charges posted to 54250 to another object code within the same fund/costcenter or to another fund/ costcenter. This process will zero out object code 54250. The object code expenses MUST be moved each month and completely zeroed out by fiscal year end. Fiscal Year: A fiscal year represents a 365 day year. This can be a calendar year, January 1st thru December 31st , or any other combination. Our District’s fiscal year is July 1st thru June 30th… thus, your fiscal year is July 1st thru June 30th for all transactions…Anything posted AFTER June 30th is considered an expense of the next fiscal year period. Thus, it is critical for you to know your budget and expenses to insure propriety in planning and success in posting. Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  15. Fund Issues/Guidelines Fund 100 monies are General Fund monies that come through FTES generation from the State and are paid out to the college via apportionment. Fund 017 monies are earned through the receipt of student fees for the classes they are taking. These monies may carry over to the next fiscal year IF the student has paid for a class that will be given in the next fiscal year [summer session]. Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  16. Fund Issues/Guidelines [cont…] Fund 597 [new fund] monies come from activities generated through college activities outside of student fees. An example of this would be the lunches served by Hospitality Management or flower purchases from Retail Floristry. These are the non-categorical funds we will be dealing with today. [Funds 100, 017, & 597] Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  17. Differences between Fund 017 and 597 Before FY10/11, Fund 017 was under the Sub-Fund 100 [unrestricted General Fund], From FY11/12 onward, certain Fund 017 monies have been moved out to Entrepreneurial Funds, i.e., Fund 597 Fund 017 will remain as a Sub-Fund 100 account Fund 597 has been reclassed as entrepreneurial services offered by a department to conduct an operation. Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  18. What are the similarities? Both Funds 017 and 597 generate revenue to support its programs; Fund 017 revenue is the LAB-FEE collected from the student for the material costs for the classes they have registered for and are taking or will be taking; Fund 597 revenue is from the service offered through classes to support its own program. These are NON-Student fee driven. Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  19. How are they handled? Carryovers? Limitations? Fund 017: Fees collected from the student MUST be expensed within the timeline for the course they are related to. Spending is restricted and can be used ONLY for the materials needed for the course that the student is taking. These materials must be something the student uses in the course of the program and that they may take with them. No Salary payments are allowed. Unspent balance needs to be reimbursed to the student by the end of the semester. These funds cannot be swept by the District. Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
  20. How are they handled? Carryovers? Limitations? Fund 597: Revenue earned through services generated by the activities from the classes they pertain to [Hospitality Management, Retail Floristry, etc…] Year end balances will be carried forth into the next fiscal year. These funds can be swept by the District if need be. So far, they have not… Office of Administrative Services FY2011/2012
