Things an Account Manager Should Know
Listed here are the top things an Account Manager should know about their account(s). If you do not know a particular aspect of your account, the Budget Office will be happy to assist.
What is my account?
Your account is made up of three identifiable numbers:- Fund Center
- Fund
- Funded Program (Not all accounts will have a Funded Program)
Who pays for my account's salary review, benefits, state longevity, and work study matching?
- Is it my account or a University central account?
- Normally the answer is the same for all 4 elements.
How are salary savings treated?
Two types of salary savings:- Temporary - caused by a budgeted position being vacant.
- Permanent or Recurring - due to hiring a replacement at a lower salary.
How are reserves or carry forwards handled?
- Budget Office routinely carries forward certain budgets.
- All other unexpended budgets collapse to reserves.
- If applicable, Account Managers can see reserve balances in fund center 1040999999.
- Fund managers can send a request to budget@txstate.edu requesting use of reserves, specifying amount and reason.
What are the transferability rules for my account?
