Request a Fund Transfer (4 steps)

step 1

After determining the need for a fund transfer, identify the source and destination fund:

  1. Identify PFOO account (Project-Fund-Object-Organization) for the debit and credit side of the transaction.
step 2

Review the structure of the source and destination funds:

  1. Ensure that funds are compatible, considering:
    • Similarity of usage restrictions
    • Issues surrounding donor reporting
    • Similarity in processing of such things as burdening and interest
    • University policies regarding combinations of various fund types. Refer to Administrative Guide Memo 34.1: University Funds
step 3

Complete fund transfer request:

  1. Compose email request to include:
    • PFOO account (Project-Fund-Object-Organization) for both the debit and credit side of the transaction
    • Amount of fund transfer
    • Justification for the transfer. This should consider the compatibility of both the source and destination funds.
  2. Send email request to your specific School / Department Fund Accountant. For contacts, see the School and Department Contacts for Non-Sponsored Funding.

Note:  A limited number of transactions can be included in the e-mail text. For large volume transactions, submit your request using the iJournals Upload Template.

step 4
