Issue: I have budget checking errors. What should I do before contacting the helpline? 09/04/2008

Resolution: When you receive a budget checking error, please use this job aid to see if a budget has been set up. The instructions walk through this process.

If a budget does not exist, the person in your Cluster authorized to enter budget journals will need to set one up, even if it is only for $0 dollars--information on this is included in the instructions. Be aware that for sponsored projects you may need to work with your unit/college grants specialist or your Grant Administrator in Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) to get a budget line set up.

If a budget error still exists after following the instructions/setting up a budget line, then contact the University Financial Helpline for assistance.
