Procedures for Submitting
Financial Statement Adjusting Entries

Financial statement work paper preparers will submit adjusting entries to General Accounting for processing using a journal entry template. The template is an Excel spreadsheet that facilitates uploads to PeopleSoft.

When preparing your adjusting entries, ensure that all required chartfield values are valid. Do not use any special characters in the header or the template such as &, <, >, ", and ' or the entry will fail.

Save the Excel spreadsheet, located at 998adj-entry-template.xls, to your drive prior to entering any data. After opening the spreadsheet click on Tools menu -> Protection and click unprotect.

After entering the data, save your spreadsheet with the same name as your Journal ID and e-mailed as an attachment to 998adj@admin.ufl.edu.

Data may be entered on the spreadsheet using chartfield values as described below. Please do not add or delete any columns.
