Note: Please be aware that an org may have many Indexes associated with it Reallocation refers to moving budget dollars from one account code to another account code 4

5. Reallocation Overview of the Reallocation Period – This is ONLY for the reallocation process: January 19, 2015 – February 6, 2015 As a change from past years there will only be one phase to work in instead of three as was the case last year. You will be working in BUD16 Use the Change Value column to enter the amount to change the budget by NOT the total amount that you want budgeted Use minus signs (a negative number) to reduce a budget. No sign is necessary (a positive number) to increase a budget Enter text notes for each change, in the following format “*Initials – mm/dd/yy- Explanation including the word account. Enter approval information if applicable. Example : *SCL-1/15/15-Moved $100 from account 710520 to account 704150 (Refer to Appendix A, Step 13). Please note account, fund, or org, as appropriate 5

6. 6 IMPORTANT - Do NOT delete a budget line using the “Delete Record” column. If you do not want a budget in that account, simply change the budget to zero Click on the Calculate button first to enter your changes and to review them If the changes you made are incorrect or further reallocation is necessary click on the “Re- query” button to undo your most recent unsaved changes Use the Summary Totals at the bottom of the screen to double check the changes you made. There is an account summary for each of the phases. (Refer to Appendix A, Step 18) Use the Post button when everything has been reallocated and you are ready to save your changes. (Refer to Appendix C) Banner Web will pre-populate with the account information that you last used, so be sure to double check the account segments that appear before moving on to the next step WARNING - You will be timed-out in Self Service Banner (SSB) after 30 minutes of inactivity. You will lose your changes for those items that were entered but not calculated or posted

33. Step 8) Go back to the Accounts and reduce the desired budget to offset the new budget added. Enter Text Notes (Refer to Appendix A step 13). Click on Calculate. Again, this will enter your changes but not save them.. 33
