Users can complete a Budget Adjustment (BA) eDoc in Kuali Financial Systems (KFS). The Budget Adjustment document moves the budget from one object code to another in a single account. It also moves the budget into sub-accounts within the same account.

> ⚠️ Accounts in a BA must follow the same sub-fund rules as transfers.

The Year-End Budget Adjustment (YEBA) is used in July to adjust the previous fiscal year’s budget. Budget Adjustments within the RSTSP Sub-Fund should only be initiated by Sponsored Programs staff. 

1. Navigate to the Budget menu.
