Budget Management

Account Structure (Chart of Accounts)

A budget string (aka FOAP) is comprised of four sets of numbers and follows the sequence of [Fund]-[Organization]-[Account]-[Program]. The Fund indicates the funding type: General Fund Unrestricted, General Fund Restricted, Bond Fund, Child Development Fund, Grant, etc. The Organization indicates where the fund is housed under and who manages the fund. The Account is a classification of expenditure (i.e. salaries, benefits, supplies, etc.) or revenue (Federal, State, Local, etc.). The Program (aka TOP code) identifies the discipline/department for the instructional activities (0100-4900) as well as non-instructional activities (6000-7900). Click here to see a comprehensive list of LPC's Chart of Accounts.

A table of the most common FOAPs can be found here

Managing Your Budget

Budget Transfers

Budget Transfers are used for the purpose of establishing beginning budgets, budget revisions, or reallocating your budget to cover expected or unexpected expenses. If you have upcoming expenses that will post to an account that you do not currently have an established budget for, or you do not have sufficient funds available in the account, please be sure to submit a Budget Transfer in CLASS-Web (for 4xxx to 7xxx accounts) or a Budget Transfer Form (for 1xxx to 2xxx accounts) along with, or prior to, submitting your request form that will encumber funds in your budget (e.g. Requisitions, Disbursement Requests, Conference Expense Claims, etc.). You are encouraged to monitor your budget regularly and submit the appropriate Budget Transfer in a timely manner to avoid overspending your budget.

Don't have access to follow the steps below?
Fill out District IT's Technology Access Form and submit to your supervisor for approval.

Budget Transfer CLASSWeb Process

Follow these instructions when you need to adjust your discretionary budget in the 4xxx to 7xxx range. Salary accounts like hourly and overtime may only be adjusted via the Budget Transfer Form Process (see next section).

Budget Transfers - CLASS-Web Instructions (see pages 8-9 for instructions on approving budget transfers in CLASS-Web).

Flowchart: Budget Transfers

  1. Log into CLASS-Web.
  2. Navigate to the Budget Transfer link under the Financial Information tab.
  3. Enter your budget transfer directly in CLASS-Web.
  4. Notify your supervisor of the pending Budget Transfer for approval.

Budget Transfers submitted via CLASS-Web are routed from the initiator to the first approver (supervisor), then to Administrative Services. After Administrative Services approves the budget transfer, your changes will reflect in Banner and on CLASS-Web.

Budget Transfer Form Process

Follow these instructions when you need to adjust your discretionary budget in the salaries accounts (1xxx and 2xxx). Budget for accounts like overtime (2303), hourly (2301), and student assistants (2340) cannot be adjusted on CLASS-Web -- it must be adjusted via the form and process below.

Flowchart: Budget Transfers

  1. Fill out all necessary information on the Budget Transfer Form.
  2. Submit the form to your first level supervisor.
  3. If applicable, obtain all signature approvals up to your Vice President (in some cases, College President) level.
  4. Submit the completed and approved form to the Business Office for processing. The Business Office will obtain approval from the Vice President of Administrative Services.

Viewing Your Budget Activity

You can view the summary and activity of your budget on both CLASS-Web and Banner. You are advised to monitor your budget regularly to ensure you have sufficient funds in all needed accounts.

Viewing Your Budget in Banner

In addition to the instructions below, you may click here for a helpful PDF on how to view your budget in Banner 9.

  1. Log into Banner.
  2. Access FGIBDST.
  3. Enter your Org, Fund, and Program codes in their respective fields. Leave the Account field blank so that all accounts under your budget are displayed. Also ensure that the Fiscal Year is set to the desired year ("20" is 2019-2020, "21" is 2020-2021, etc.).
  4. Press Alt+Pg. Down
  5. Your budget should be displayed for you, sorted by account.
    1. Adjusted Budget: your loaded budget for the Fiscal Year.
    2. YTD Activity: all currently posted year-to-date transactions for that account.
    3. Commitments: total amount of commitments that are pending and have not yet posted to the account.
    4. Available Balance: the amount of money you have unspent and unencumbered in the account.
    5. Note: accounts will be displayed if there is activity in the account, either from loading the budget, posted transactions to the account, or pending commitments. If you do not see an account code in your budget, this does not mean the account does not exist or that you cannot use it. If you do not have any budget allocated to an account, nor do you have any activity in the account, it will not be displayed. However, once there is activity in the account (from a Budget Transfer, Disbursement Request, etc.), the account will display and reflect the activity.
  6. To view specific transactions within an account, highlight the account using your mouse or arrow keys, then click on the amount listed in its respective "YTD Activity" field. Next, press F3 or click "Related" --> "Transaction Detail Information [FGITRND]." This will display all posted transactions for that account. The same steps can be done for Commitments as well.
