Revised Fiscal Closing Reappropriation Method

One of the steps included in fiscal year-end closing is the reappropriation
process, which involves rolling "available" balances forward from the old
fiscal year to the new fiscal year. Available balances are calculated as
appropriations less financial activity at the expenditure category level
(or "sub account" - academic salaries, staff salaries, general assistance,
supplies & expense, etc.). In past years, balances have rolled forward at
the organization/program/fund level, whereas this year balances for most
funds will roll forward or "reappropriate" at a more detailed level, the
index level. The rules for the reappropriation of extramural and
campus-wide funds were recommended by a committee of campus
representatives and are as follows:

1. All non-zero balances at the index level will be reappropriated.
Therefore, if funds in total and/or at the sub account level have a zero
balance but at the individual index level have surplus and deficit
balances, all balances at the index level will be reappropriated.

2. If a reappropriated balance exists for an index that has been
inactivated, the process will post that reappropriation in the new year
with a blank index field value, and the original index number will be
displayed in the reference field.

Generally, all year-end balances, whether positive or negative, will be
carried forward at the index level to the new fiscal year in the same
department in which they resided at year end. The listing that follows
details the fund ranges for which the reappropriation by index process will
apply. Please note, however, that any rules that applied in prior years
still remain in effect (e.g., academic salary dollars, accounts 60xxxx, do
not carry forward), and that there may be budgetary controls required
within specific Vice Chancellors' areas.

Departments may want to rebudget at the index level prior to fiscal closing
in order to "clean up" balances at the index level. Note that for
permanently budgeted funds, the current year appropriation entries from the
permanent budget system can be rebudgeted from xxxBDxx index numbers to
indexes used for departmental expenditures. A report that may be useful in
determining the current status of balances at the index level is the Budget
Summary report available at the campus FinancialLink site
(http://financiallink.ucsd.edu). The report can be run by index to provide
balances by index and expenditure category (sub account), and an index
lookup feature ("Find IFOP" button) is also featured.
