Overview of Budget Ledgers

Initial Budgets are loaded by SBA Required Core Expense Budget Ledgers

APPROP ALLOT_CTRL ALLOT

Budgets are stored in Budget Ledger(s) by Budget Period Year (APPROP) Quarter (ALLOT_CTRL, ALLOT)

Maintained through Budget Journal entries created by Agency Budget Analysts and approved/posted by SBA Budget Analysts

9

APPROP Ledger

Appropriation Ledger Where applicable corresponds to Budget Bill Annual budgeted amount Controlled Budget based on the Budget Bill

Total Operating (Account E10000) or Personal Services / Other Operating level (Accounts

E19999 & E29999) Will not allow overspending

Budget Bill must allow for Augmentation Authority for State Funds

10

ALLOT_CTRL Ledger

Allotment Control Child of APPROP Ledger Corresponds to spending plan/allotment

schedule Quarterly budgeted amounts Cumulative dollars for Budget Checking Controlled Budget based on the Budget Bill

Total Operating (Account E10000) or Personal Services / Other Operating level (Accounts E19999

& E29999) Will not allow overspending

11

ALLOT Ledger

Allotment Child of ALLOT_CTRL Corresponds to spending plan/allotment

schedule Control 3 and 5 - Tracked at Level 3 (Major

Point Account E51000, E52000, E53000, …) Control 6 and 7 - Tracked at Level 2 (Point 0

Account E10000) Quarterly budgeted amounts Track with Budget - overspending allowed, but

budget row must exist

12

APPROP, ALLOT_CTRL, ALLOTKey Features

All 3 Ledgers are required for all Funds APPROP and ALLOT_CTRL budget set to Control –

no exceptions Key fields- Business Unit, Fund, Account, Bud Ref Budget Reference is vital to distinguish Budget Years SBA and Agencies will be jointly responsible for these

three expense ledgers. Other ledgers will be owned and maintained by each agency.

13

APPROP, ALLOT_CTRL, ALLOT Key Features cont’d

Ledgers store summarized activity – PRE_ENC = Pre-Encumbrances (Requisitions, Travel

Authorizations)– ENC = Encumbrances (Purchase Orders, Expense

Reports)– EXP = Expenses (Vouchers, GL Journals, …)

Budget Overview screen shows flow of expense within ledgers.– Requisition - updates PRE_ENC– Purchase Order - reverses PRE_ENC and updates ENC– Expense - reverses ENC and updates EXP

PRE_ENC amounts must be zero at the end of each Fiscal Year.

14

Additional Ledgers

Budgets, if applicable, are entered and maintained by Agency

Additional Budget Ledgers– APPROP_REV– ALLT_C_REV– ALLOT_REV– DETAIL – KK_PROJECT– KK_ACTIVTY– ORG– ORGDTL

15

Associated Revenue

Applicable Core Ledgers include APPROP_REV, ALLT_C_REV and ALLOT_REV

Link revenue budgets to expense budgets so revenue can automatically increase available expense spend balances

Only set up for Control 5 and Control 6 funds Revenue may be Budgeted and Recognized, but not

collected. It depends on how the fund is set up. Enter Budget Journal (ALLT_C_REV) to Debit associated

revenue (Budget Account R40000) will release/collect revenue, making it available in the expense budget.

Budget Overview criteria should be “Ledger Inquiry Set” to include expense and revenue ledgers in search

16

DETAIL Ledger

Questions???

23

Commitment Control

Fund Code is the main budgeted Chartfield Budget process at beginning of year has not

changed. Agencies still submit spending plans prior to beginning of fiscal year.

All four quarters of ALLOT_CTRL and ALLOT will be loaded at the beginning of the year.

SBA will establish Federal Grant appropriations in ENCOMPASS.

Project budgets and ORG budgets are owned and maintained by agencies.

24

Managing Budgets

Agencies should discuss budget adjustments with their SBA Budget Analyst prior to initiating any budget transactions.

Agency Budget Analyst will initiate budget journals in ENCOMPASS for budget adjustments and will send a notification to their SBA Budget Analyst to review/approve and post transactions for which they are authorized.

Point to point and fund to fund transfers and augmentations will still require Admin Action for approval prior to posting. SBA Budget Analyst will notify SBA Accounting.

25

Managing Budgets… cont’d

The initial ORG budget should be entered as the Original budget. Future changes should be entered as Adjustments.

At initial implementation, Agency will have the option to control or track budgets at the department level, and will determine budget periods to be used (annual or quarterly).

State Budget Agency will not have any role in maintaining the ORG and ORGDTL ledgers.

26

Types of Transactions

Budget Journals– Used for entering original budgets– Adjustments done throughout the year to increase or

decrease the budget (i.e. Admin action)

Budget Transfers– Not used – per SBA– Used to move budget dollars within a single ledger

group between Fund/Account within a Business Unit– Requires multiple entries to move funds

27

Budget Journals

Header includes:– Business Unit, Journal ID, and Journal Date– Ledger Group– Budget Entry Type – Original or Adjustment

• SBA will enter Original Budgets for APPROP, ALLOT_CTRL, and ALLOT.

• Agencies enter Adjustments to core ledgers

– Long Description field• Used to document justification for SBA – reason for the

entry

– Attachments option – ability to upload supporting documentation (word, excel, pdf… up to 1MB each)

Budget Journals

Lines tab includes Applicable Chartfields, including:

• Budget Period• Fund Code• Budget Account (i.e. E10000, E19999, E53000)• Budget Reference

Non-Core ledgers will require other chartfields

Record the amount of the entry (Credit is a Positive amount and Debit is a Negative amount)

28

29

Budget Journals Agency Budget Analyst will have the ability to enter budget

journals for APPROP, ALLOT_CTRL and ALLOT ledgers in ENCOMPASS

Agency Users will have limited ability to post these entries– APPROP and ALLOT_CTRL entries are posted by the SBA Budget

Analyst because these Ledgers are controlled.

– ALLOT Entries are posted by the Agency Budget Analyst.

– Approval Workflow is not implemented for Budget Journals. Use the Notify button on the Budget Journal page to inform your SBA Budget Analyst that entries are waiting to be posted

Budget Journals do not need to balance– Users can enter a one-line journal entry

Budget Journals… cont’dSteps to record Transfers between Funds

Funds that are currently allotted in Quarters 1-41. Enter Budget Journal to REDUCE Allotment (ALLOT) from

‘from’ fund 2. Enter Budget Journal to REDUCE Allotment Control

(ALLOT_CTRL) from ‘from’ fund 3. Enter Budget Journal to REDUCE Appropriation (APPROP)

from ‘from’ fund (requires Administrative Action)4. Enter Budget Journal to INCREASE Appropriation

(APPROP) to ‘to’ fund (requires Administrative Action)5. Enter Budget Journal to INCREASE Allotment Control

(ALLOT_CTRL) to ‘to’ fund6. Enter Budget Journal to INCREASE Allotment (ALLOT) to

‘to’ fund

All entries must be Approved and Posted before the next entry can be processed

31

Budget Journals… cont’d

Funds still in reserve - not currently allotted 1. Funds are already Appropriated

2. Enter Budget Journal to INCREASE Allotment Control (ALLOT_CTRL) to ‘to’ fund

3. Enter Budget Journal to INCREASE Allotment (ALLOT) to ‘to’ fund

ALLOT_CTRL entry must be Approved and Posted by SBA Budget Analyst before the ALLOT entry can be processed

32

Commitment Control Posting

Posting the entries makes sure they meet the rules set up in ENCOMPASS.– If the journal does not meet the requirements set up

in these rules, the journal will be marked with Errors– Errors must be fixed before the journal can be

posted.– If no errors exist, the system will post the entry

Balancing/offset lines are created by SBA in GL using the 74 and 75 accounts to capture the transfers in and transfers out.
