10. FUPLOAD Descriptions The more descriptive, the better! Only have 35 characters to work with Should indicate what goods/services were provided Use a distinct description for each separate transaction FUPLOADs usually cover many different transactions Include some kind of identifying characters e.g., Invoice #

11. Frequent Issues 1. 2. 3. etc

12. Defining Interdepartmental Sales and Services Transactions

13. Why a New Rule Code? Internally Generated Revenue Financial Services needs to be able to identify ALL instances of internally generated revenue (and expense) For University-wide Financial Statements, this activity is essentially “eliminated” at year end Does not affect individual funds Has become even more imperative due to UNC FIT (Financial Improvement and Transformation) initiative from UNC Board of Governors https://www.northcarolina.edu/initiatives/uncfit/index.htm

14. External v. Internal Activity External Activity Generated by business with outside parties e.g., Book Disbursements and Cash Receipts Internal Activity Includes all transactions that occur between campus departments

15. Interdepartmental Sales and Services Transactions All transactions that involve transferring payment for goods/services performed for campus departments by another campus department Result in Internally Generated Revenue Currently reported on Interdepartmental Invoices (IDIs) for smaller transactions Credit Revenue, Debit Expense Should never use GL (Balance Sheet) accounts– Gxxxxx

16. Identifying When to Use JFI Rule Code

17. What is a Rule Code? Determines how data will be processed by Banner Finance Our purpose: To be able to identify and segregate Internally Generated Revenue (and Expense) for year end financial reporting How? With Rule Codes JNA (IDIs) and JFI (FUPLOADs)

18. Rule Codes for FUPLOADs JFL For External transactions JFI For Interdepartmental Sales and Services transactions only

19. When to Use JFI Rule Code Only for Interdepartmental Sales and Services transactions submitted via FUPLOAD One department being credited with revenue (1xxxxx) One department being charged with expense (9xxxxx) NOT for: External activity Transfers of funds (using transfer accounts 8xxxxx) Balance Sheet (Gxxxxx) accounts NOT allowed!
