LOCAL FUNDS

As of April 15, 2021, the budgeting module is open for local fund budget entry.

• If someone who doesn’t have access to the module should have access, please complete and submit the Budget Database Access Request form to budget.ndsu@ndsu.edu as soon as possible.  Keep in mind that the budgeting module resides in HCM (HRMS), and that some users were assigned a secondary ID for accessing it.
• On the Budget Office Resources and Job Aids web page, you can find the Budgeting Module Departmental User Manual, which provides information on navigation to and within the budgeting module, and the Local Fund Annual Budgeting Guidelines, which provides detailed information regarding items to take into consideration and resources to assist you when budgeting your local funds for the next fiscal year.  New this year is the Local Fund Annual Budgeting - FAQs that we hope will prove helpful.
• There are two resources that you may not be as familiar with that I’d like to bring to your attention:  The Budget Overview – Multiple Ledgers, and the Budget Overview Report.  Both of these resources allow you to return information from more than one ledger at the same time (for example, CASHR and CSHDTL), so you may find these useful in looking at your local funds.  Job aids for both of these items can be found on our Resources and Job Aids web page.

We realize that thoughtful preparation of your local fund budget requests can be time consuming; we appreciate the attention that you give to it.
