Source (Revenue) & Use (Expenditure) Budgets are separate components and changes to each are independent transactions as well. An increase in a Source Budget does not automatically increase a Use Budget. An adjustment to the Use Budget will be necessary.
In order to provide good fiscal data, it is critical that transactions are recorded in the appropriate account code. Account codes have been changed significantly and will incur additional changes with the new state ERP implementation so please refer to Accounting Office web site for the latest list of account codes at http://www.marshall.edu/finance/account-codes/ to identify the correct account code.
Adjustment to Source Budget: (Account codes 5XXXXX)
- Submit Budget Adjustment Request Form with supporting documentation.
- If a reduction of the Source Budget results in the FGIBSUM field Net: Revenue minus (Labor + Expense + Transfer) in the Adjusted Budget column to be less than zero, then an adjustment to the Use Budget will be required to bring this field’s value to zero.
- Increases to a Source Budget does not automatically increase a Use Budgets. Any required increase to Use Budgets will require an adjustment as outlined below.

Increase Use Budget:

- No – Budget Adjustment Request Form will be required to increase the Source Budget to a level that will satisfy Budget Guideline #3.
