Use State Fund Code 100023 for FY24 Budgets
For fiscal year 2024, use state fund code 100023 for state funds that have been previously budgeted. This value will be incremented automatically to 100024 for all line items before they are rolled to the operating ledger.
Only use 100024 if a unit has never had a permanent state budget in the Budget Development System.
Use Permanent Duration code and WHOLE dollar amounts
The 'Quick Course' for Budget Development
You may want to print and review these job aids for reference; they cover the most important forms you'll be using:
Next, follow these steps:
-
Query for Line Item Detail to view (and/or download) a report of all line items that you are responsible for entering and/or approving.
-
For each fund and organization listed on the Line Item Detail report, create (query for) a Budget Worksheet and post change amounts as needed.
-
When all entries are posted and correct to your satisfaction, query for Line Item Detail as you did in step 1. Keep a record of your posted budget. Either print the screen for each page of the report or Download Selected Ledger Columns. The download creates a comma-separated values (.csv) file that you can save as an Excel file.
