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 Salesand 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 transactionsonly

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! • If used, FUPLOAD will be rejected

20. Forms and Rule Codes External Activity *entered by General Accounting

21. Forms and Rule Codes Internal Activity *entered by General Accounting

22. Special IDIs IDIs with Encumbrances • Only used by Telecom and Facilities Management departments • One for CI and one for Accounts Payable

23. Corrections and Reclassifications General Rule: • Use the same rule code that you used in the original transaction • See Examples • Easy concept, but may be difficult to remember!

24. Certain Auxiliary Transactions Remember that Balance Sheet (Gxxxxx) Accounts are not allowed to be used with the JNA and JFI rule codes • If charging: • Barnes and Noble (Fund 336050) • Chartwells (Fund 330324), or • Ricoh (Fund 336111) • via Account G13920 “A/R Individual & Business” • Use a JV, not an IDI • These transactions represent External Activity

25. JFI – Interdepartmental Sales and Services FUPLOADs JFL – All other FUPLOADs Rule Code Summary

26. Following the FUPLOAD Approval Process

27. Review Within Departments FUPLOADs unique • The only review that occurs is within your department! • Financial Services does not review FUPLOADs like they do with Journal Entries • Greater burden on each department to submit correct data and maintain documentation
