Aleph Update: FY07 budget rollover is complete




This Update covers topics of interest to financial, acquisitions and serials staff.

Rollover Update

The 2007 Budget Rollover process is complete.  Financial Departments may begin updating 2008 budgets.

Other staff should follow local Financial Department instructions about budget availabilty.

Staff who are authorized to move records may resume doing so.

Here's what you should see in Aleph now:

  1. Monograph orders that were encumbered to 2007 budgets should now be encumbered to 2008 budgets;
  2. Standing Orders that were encumbered to 2007 budgets should have multiple encumbrances: one each for earlier budget years and one for 2008. The 2008 budget should be highlighted (the earlier budgets are no longer active);
  3. Serial orders that were encumbered to 2007 budgets should have multiple encumbrances: one each for earlier budget years and one for 2008.  The 2008 budget should be highlighted (the earlier budgets are no longer active);
  4. All budgets except for Type UU (Unrestricted Undesignated) that had a cash balance (positive or negative) in 2007 should now have that balance in the 2008 budget.  Balances in Type UU budgets do not carry over from year to year;
  5. All 2007 budgets should be marked NA (Not Active).
Budget Summary Reports

Final Budget Summary Reports for 2007 will be posted to the Aleph Acquisitions Budget Reports website shortly.  The first Budget Summary Report for 2008 will also be available on the website.

Filtering the Budget List

Most staff will want to filter the Budget List so that only 2008 budgets display.  You may also want to filter the List to display only Active budgets and only the budgets that you are authorized to use.  To filter, display the Budget List and click on the Filter By button.  For Status, select AC (Active). For Year, enter 2008.  And, check the View Only Authorized Budgets box.
