Budget Transfer Process

A budget transfer is a financial transaction or operation in which funds are moved from one budget account to another within an office/college budget.

You can create budget transfers by creating a budget register entry that has a budget code associated with the Transfer budget type. You can decrease the budget of one or more financial dimension values, and then increase the budget of other financial dimension values by the same amount.
