Defining Interdepartmental Sales
and Services Transactions
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
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
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
Identifying When to Use JFI Rule Code
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)
Rule Codes for FUPLOADs
JFL
• For External transactions
JFI
• For Interdepartmental Sales and Services transactions
only
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
