PeopleSoft Budgeting Information

PeopleSoft budgets are loaded at the "child," or PeopleSoft account, level. Child budgets are then rolled up to a parent level, which is where budget checking occurs.    Budgets are never loaded directly to a parent, and are thus never transferred out of—or to—parent.

Budget transfers should only be performed in order to adjust a department's spending plan and cover over expenditures. Budget transfers should not be done to move an expense. Expenses should always stay in the department with which they belong.
