What is a Journal Entry? A journal entry is the first step in the accounting cycle, and it is the record keeping of business transactions. In the ECU Banner System, the double entry accounting method is used; therefore, each journal entry has a debit transaction and credit transaction. The total dollar amount of debits must equal the total dollar amount of credits, or the journal entry is considered unbalanced.
Journal entries needed to correct transactions or to reclass transactions are created in the Banner applications Finance Self Service or Banner Admin Pages. Typically, these journal entries will use the rule class code J63. The Banner rule class code, also called transaction type, routes the journal entry to the correct FOAPAL. Journal entries directly change the FOAPAL balances on the general ledger.
Once all transactions on the journal entry have been keyed and submitted, the approval process begins. The Banner approval system is designed to electronically forward the journal entry to the designated approvers based on the FUND and ORGN codes. After all approval levels are completed, the journal entry transactions will be posted to the General Ledger and the transactions will be reflected in Banner. 5<br>

Example of A Journal Entry to correct an expense 10 I made a mistake; I charged the wrong ORGN code when I made a Staples Order.
I used organization code 591101 and should have used 591201.
Example of Wrong Transaction:
11/20/2020 J60 Staples Inv 7932656 Fund 111101 ORGN 591101 Account 72110 $3.29 DEBIT (wrong transaction)
To correct the wrong transaction, a transaction is needed to reverse the wrong ORGN code (CREDIT).
Another transaction is needed to record the correct ORGN code (DEBIT): hence a double-sided entry.
J63 Staples Inv 7932656 Fund 111101 ORGN 591101 Account 72110 $3.29 CREDIT (reverse wrong transaction)
J63 Staples Inv 7932656 Fund 111101 ORGN 591201 Account 72110 $3.29 DEBIT (correct transaction)
$6.58<br>

ORGN level approvals will have LVL1 and LVL2 in the queue description. These approvals are required before the document will proceed to the FUND level approval.
All FUND level approvals will have LVL3 in the queue description. Once the document has been approved at this level, the document will proceed to posting in Banner. Every FUND type will be approved (State, Grant, ITF, Foundation).
***NOTE, only one approval is need for each approval level.<br>
