Cost Transfers

Often called a Journal Entry Transfer or JET, this function is a transfer of an expense (or revenue) that has hit your cost center incorrectly. JETs allow us to move the expense (or revenue) out of your FOAP into another FOAP where the charge belongs (transfer between orgs and/or accounts). JETs can be utilized to correct accounting errors made while ordering items via TUMarketplace or can be used to correct staff effort, for example. The CPH Research Administration team can initiate JETs at
a faculty member’s request. Please note that due to auditing rules and regulations, the request to move an expense off one FOAP and onto another by performing a JET must be requested within 90 days of the charge having first appeared on the incorrect account.

When submitted on-line by your Research Analyst, cost transfer (journal entry) forms must include a clear explanation for the transfer supported by documentation. The department – specifically the CPH Research Administration office - has primary responsibility for fulfilling these requirements and maintaining the related records.
