Inter-Agency Journal Transfers

An inter-agency journal transfer is used for making payments to and receiving payments from other SUNY schools and New York State agencies. Transfers are between State accounts (IFR or State Operating) only. These are generally posted as an expenditure transfer.

Departments must verify that the NYS agency they are working with can accept inter-agency journals.

Process to Request an Inter-Agency Journal Transfer

The University at Buffalo’s SFS ID number is 0430000003. Another campus or agency may request this information to make payment to UB.

All inter-agency journals must be sent to Financial Management for proper coding and coordinated processing with the other agency. To complete the process, you will need:

  • Name of the school or agency the transaction is with.
  • UB contact person.
  • Contact person at the other agency.
  • Amount of journal.
  • State account number to be used (IFR or State Operating Account).
  • Description or purpose for the journal.

After both agencies have finished processing, the inter-agency journal is sent to SUNY System Administration for completion.

Before you submit the form:

Be sure the name and signature of the requester have been added and please note this is not to be sent off-campus as it is a UB internal form.
