This page is used to post the final approved budget amendment to the general ledger. This transfers account information in the amendment table to the general ledger in the Finance application for all accounts with an increase or decrease to the budget amount. Amendment journal entries are created for each account with an increase or decrease amount. Once the amendment has been approved and no additional changes are required, the changes must be posted to the general ledger. The posting process performs two separate functions:

• Adds all account numbers and descriptions from the amendment journal table to the chart of accounts if the accounts do not currently exist in the chart of accounts.
• Creates budget amendment journal entries for each account with an increase or decrease. These values are added to or subtracted from the estimated revenue/appropriations field for each account.

After the posting process is complete, print the general ledger reports for the funds (e.g., general journal). The reports allow you to verify that the values have been transferred correctly. Entries are made only for those accounts with an increase or decrease.
