Appendix A – Budget Period and Budget Date (30.5)

Budget Period

• Represents the State of Florida’s fiscal year (FY) that runs from July 1 through June 30, (i.e., appropriations year).
• Four-digit value that is the last year of the designated fiscal year, (i.e., FY 23/24 will be budget period 2024).
• Will remain open to enable Carry Forward, Fixed Capital Outlay and Continuing Appropriations transactions to process using prior years’ appropriations.
• The Budget Period field is in the Commitment Control Module.
• Used only on budget journal transactions (i.e., appropriations load, agency allotment budget journals, Enterprise manual budget adjustments).

Budget Date

• Represents a calendar date field on module transactions.
• Budget Date will default to the current date when a new transaction is created in Florida PALM.
• Agencies using current fiscal year appropriations, the budget date does not need to be changed, as it defaults to the current date.
• Agencies using Fixed Capital Outlay and/or Continuing Appropriations, the budget date should be changed to 06/30/XXXX, where XXXX is the budget period (i.e., 06/30/2022 = budget period 2022 = FY 21/22).
• Based on the budget date entered, budget checking functionality checks the transaction against the appropriate budget period (i.e., FY).
