Fiscal Year 2021 Budgets Memo:
Fiscal Year 2021 Operating Budget
The Fiscal Year 2021 budget for accounts in E&G, Designated, and Auxiliary funds has been uploaded into SAP and submitted to the Texas State University System Board of Regents. The Board approved the operating budget on August 13.
Account managers and their authorized designees can review their budgets now using the Budget to Actual report (ZBUDACT) in SAP.
Salary Encumbrances for Fiscal Year 2021
The program that will create salary and fringe encumbrances for FY 2021 is scheduled to be run on Friday, September 11. Please review your accounts with the Budget to Actual report after that date to ensure that your budgets and encumbrances are correct for the new fiscal year. As a reminder, the program only encumbers salary for employees paid in the monthly payroll. Also, please remember you may use the Business Explorer (BEx) program to compare the position salary budgets to employee or positions cost.
For further information or for assistance, call the Office of Budgeting, Financial Planning & Analysis at 5-2376 or email us at budget@txstate.edu.
Overbudget Notifications:
To accommodate the transition to a new fiscal year we temporarily turned off notifications for over-expended budget lines effective today, August 31, 2020. You can continue to monitor your FY20 budgets by running the Overbudget Report in SAP (transaction code ZOVERBUDGET). In addition, since the accounting office is still posting final FY20 billings, you can continue to do any temporary budget adjustments necessary to correct FY20 deficits. We will send out another communication prior to turning notifications back on which usually occurs around mid-October.
Thank you for your continued attention and cooperation. As always, if you have questions or need assistance, please call 5-2376 or email us at Budget@txstate.edu
