Revenue Transfers
A revenue transfer is the moving of cash that has already been posted to another account.

Best Practices
- The cash balance in the account to be debited must be sufficient to accommodate the transfer.
- Transfers of revenue may be completed anytime during the fiscal year prior to the date set in the State Financial Cutoff Dates for Year End and will be effective on the date processed.
- Transfers of revenues require appropriate approval as determined by the policy of each administrative unit.
- You may not process a Revenue Transfer for State Operating Accounts or DIFR accounts because they are allocation-based. Please see Allocation Transfers.
- Fee and Service revenue should not be transferred out of approved accounts without permission from the Cost Accounting Group.
- If a Revenue Transfer is not allowable, please consider if an expenditure transfer would be appropriate.
