As you prepare year-end entries, please keep the following guidance in mind when processing journal vouchers in July. These steps help ensure transactions post to the correct fiscal year for accurate financial reporting.
Journal Voucher Transaction Dates
- The transaction date in Banner journal voucher pages FGAJVCD, FGAJVCM, and FGAJVCQ automatically defaults to the current calendar date. Because the transaction date determines the fiscal year in which the journal voucher posts, you must backdate the transaction date to June if you intend for the entry to post in FY26.
- Example: If you are processing a journal voucher on July 1 or later and want it to post to FY26, you must change the transaction date to June 30 or earlier. Otherwise, if you do not backdate the transaction date, the entry will post to FY27.
- Please also be aware that not all transactions should be backdated. For example, if the journal voucher relates to FY27 business (e.g., reclassifying an FY27 expense to the proper C-FOAP), you should use the default July transaction date that Banner provides.
FY26 Journal Voucher Deadline
All FY26 journal vouchers (including feeders processed through Finance Feeder Front End) must be entered and fully approved in Banner by Friday, July 10, 2026, at 5 p.m.
