Department Transfers

There are occasions when departments are required to transfer funds from one department to another. Some transfers are for expenses that one department incurs but are the responsibility of another department. These transfers are requests for reclassification of receipts or disbursements. Transfers of this type are indicated by a transaction code of 060 on FRS screen 023. The effect of reclassification of receipts or disbursements on account balances is to increase account balances with a credit entry and decrease account balances with a debit entry.
