Financial Reporting, Training, and Systems Management

Approvers and auditors need to understand the purpose of your JV.  Why are you completing it, and what are you trying to accomplish?

There is a training document on BSU’s website under Banner Training Materials in the Finance section.  See Attaching Documentation to a JV.

Banner Training Document

If you are transferring expense from one foap (fund-organization-account-program) to another, please add documentation from Banner Finance showing the original debit to expense you are transferring. 

If you are recording revenue earned from another department, please attach your invoice that shows the foap you are charging and the sale details.

If you are recording a credit card receivable, please attach the summary sheet from your credit card machine showing total sales processed.

On Banner FGAJVCM click on Related, Document Text.  Enter additional text to add additional explanation for your JV.  If you run out of room on a line, use your arrow down button to move to the next line where you can continue typing text.  Click the Save icon or hit F10 to save your text.

You should use the intra university revenue account if your department makes sales to other university departments.  The intra-university revenue accounts are 591110 – IntraUniversity Sales Non Taxable, and 591120 – IntraUniversity Sales Taxable.  There are some additional accounts in the 5911xx range but those are used by specific areas.     

An exception to the use of intra university revenue accounts occurs when you sell to the following university funds:

115xxx, 145Xxx, 146Xxx, or 8xxxxx. 

When processing a JV for sales to these funds, please record your revenue as external in the 57xxxx, 58xxxx, 590xxx, or 591xxx ranges.  Your external revenue account range depends upon your fund-org.  If you are not sure what revenue accounts you should use please contact view email for guidance. 

• You can use the transfer in/out codes to move funds from one fund to another in order to provide support or fund a deficit. The transfer codes must be used together, and the total transferred in (810010) must equal the total transferred out (810020) in the journal voucher. The transfer in (810010) transactions should be a credit and the transfer out (810020) transactions should be a debit.
• An exception to the use of the transfer in/out account codes occurs when the transaction includes the following university funds:
  115xxx, 145Xxx, 146Xxx, or 8xxxxx.

Program code 1014 should only be used in conjunction with a revenue account.  Revenue accounts always start with a 5.  If you are not posting to a revenue account please use the Banner default program code.
