Correcting Journals Without Index Numbers

Campus departmental personnel are now able to prepare Financial and Budget Adjustment Journals to correct blank index numbers. This capability has been added so that, if desired, campus departments can adjust entries so that they will be able to retrieve complete data on Financial Link reports by querying only by index number.

These journals are "one-sided" entries. When preparing an entry to correct a blank index, only the side that includes the index needs to be entered. The rule class will automatically generate the reversal of the entry to the blank index number. For example, a debit of $200.00 was posted to fund/org/program/account 19900A/416219/440000/638000 without an index. To correct this entry, enter the transaction as it should have been entered originally:

CHO8787 -19900A- 416219- 638000- 440000 200.00 D

The entry without the index number will automatically be reversed.

Note:
The debits and credits displayed at the bottom of the IFIS journal screens do not need to balance as the offset will be generated when posting is completed. Therefore, the amount reflected in the DOC TOTAL field on the JVOUCHER screen will just be the one amount entered. Also, the JVACTY screen and the journal print report will not display the offset as the offset does not exist until the journal is posted. Do not use this journal for any purposes other than to clear blank index transactions. It will create new blank transactions if none existed previously.

The journals will require the following document configuration information:


Document Type   Document Number*   Template   Journal Type
Financial Journal   Fwiiinnn   GEN   FW54
Budget Adjustment Journal   Bwiiinnn   GEN   BW13


*Document Number "iii" = department index prefix, and "nnn" = sequential number assigned by dept.

Journal prints of these documents are not required at BFS.
