Account Creation and Control
Assigning Budget Groups to Unit Codes
All assignments of existing budget groups to unit codes are done by Financial Accounting Services (FAS). When budget
groups are transferred to a new unit code, they are blocked from certification in the expense certification system.
Therefore, FAS requests that departments verify and state that all expense certifications are up to date before
processing a unit code change. FAS does not update existing unit codes or create new unit codes. Requests to create
or update unit codes (rather than budget groups) should be sent to
oa.signaturedesk@austin.utexas.edu.
Who may request
Requests to move a budget group from one unit to another must come from
someone with manual signature authority for the budget group. (Note: The
GBS command in *DEFINE lists signers for a budget group.)
How to request
Make a written request, including:
the budget group
the unit code the budget group should be moved to
Dean's approval
a statement confirming that expense certifications are up to date
Send the request to Financial Accounting Services.
