 Finance Budget Development (FBD) – tool used to balance budgets and create/change non-labor, revenue and transfer budgets
 Salary Planner – tool used to set job salaries and position budgets. Salary planner feeds the labor budgets in FBD
 Job – represents the salary of an individual
 Position – represents the budget for a given role at the University. Jobs and Positions are linked, and it is often said that, “jobs fill positions”
 Budget Working Group (BWG) – group that establishes high-level budget assumptions and submits proposed budget to Board for approval
 Increment – % increase for salaries and benefits relative to prior year budgets
 Allocation – (Increments )+ (BWG Add-ons) + (any budget adjustments made in FBD)
 Transfer – represents funding moving from one source (Fund-Org) to another (Fund-Org)
 Distributed Charge – charges from one department to another unit that have been pre-approved in the Transfer Pricing Guidelines
 Transfer Pricing – the practice of distributing a charge that is incurred by one unit, and subsequently charged to another. Units require approval to implement this practice (see Transfer Pricing Guidelines)
 Unrestricted Funding – funds held centrally and distributed to units as a recurring (annual) resource
 Restricted Funding – resources given to the University for a specific purpose (Grant, Gift,
Endowment, etc)
 Banner Finance – Source of FBD account line-item budgets. At the end of the spring budget process
FBD data is loaded to Banner Finance to become the budget for the next fiscal year
 Banner HR – source of job and position data for Salary Planner. At the end of the spring budget process Salary Planner data is loaded to Banner HR and creates the active records for the next fiscal year.

 Optional for units, but highly recommended for units that rely heavily on these resources to fund their ongoing needs
 Unlike Unrestricted budgeting, no allocation that requires balancing
 Suggest budgeting to net zero, or positive (reflecting rollover funds to the following year).
 For funds in deficit, use transfer codes to represent funding transfers
– If a budget has a negative net budget (deficit), and no funding source is known at the time of budget, then leave as is
 Use revenue account code 50000 (Beginning Balance Roll-Over) to budget “beginning balance” for funds rolling over from FY13 to FY14
 First time budgets will start from scratch, but roll forward to future years
21

 Definition of Estimate – “A close guess of the actual value, usually with some thought or calculation involved”
 Calculation
FY14 Earnings Estimate = FY12 Actual Earnings * 1.03 * 1.03
* an exception is Endowed Chairs which will have a more precise estimate provided by Budget
 Does NOT account for the following:
– Endowments turned On/Off spending during FY12 or FY13
– Endowments that have received new gifts
– Endowments that have been split (usually Endowed Chairs)
– Endowments that have transferred funding In/Out
 Endowment Funding Calculator
 Please review your endowment income estimates for accuracy
– You have more information on these funding sources
– You have the ability to change the estimates in FBD
