In a recent meeting with Ellucian and our ITS department we were shown functionality that exists within Banner to automate the budget transfer process.  Our current process involves Departments extracting from the Employee Portal a Budget Transfer Form, completing it, requesting the Budget Manager to manually sign off, and then interoffice the completed hardcopy to the Business Office.  Upon reciept the Business Office enters the budget transfer into Banner, and hardcopy is provided to the Comptroller for review.   Because the review process is after the posting of the budget transfer into Banner, the reviewer might idenfiy a correction is needed, and request another budget transfer.  The review process does not not catch other keying errors that were made.  The automated process will allow Budget Managers to initiate the budget transfer themselves directly into Banner.  Then the Assistant Comptroller can review and post the budget transfer in Banner.  The automated process will create a more efficient process, but it will save paper as well. This is a common industry practice and  would be nice to implement at our institution.
