Recurring Transactions

About these Transactions

Once an RTI is set up, it can be used for current and future interagency payments that post to the same coding block. This reduces the amount of time the user needs to spend entering data.

Setting Up a Recurring Transaction

Use the Recurring Transaction Profile (55) to enter common information for multiple transactions.

  1. Access the Recurring Transaction Profile (55) screen.

    used, the RTI is repeated for each allocation amount.

    										  established in the Transaction Code 
    										  Decision Profile (28A).
    
    INDEX				Optional			  Enter the five-digit index code.

    										  index, grant number and phase,

    										  for institutions of higher education.
    										  The PCA may also infer an agency’s 
    										  strategic structure.
    
    Note: The PCA is required unless it is inferred by the index code.

    AMOUNT             Optional              Enter the amount, including two
                                             decimal places for cents. For

    Note: If multiple transactions are established under one RTI, the % ALLOCATED field must be entered. If the AMOUNT 
    field is entered, the interagency payment must be made on one transaction. The selling agency should inform the buying agency that 
    only one transaction can be used. Use of the Percent Allocation method is recommended. The buying agency can reallocate the expenditure 
    to the appropriate comptroller object codes on a journal voucher.
    % ALLOCATED        Optional	          Enter the percent allocated in decimal
