Receipt of Documentation from A & R of the Transfer of Funds from another University Unit or Another Library Budget
This procedure does not apply to funds transferred from another library budget. When the money is transferred from another library budget, it does NOT go into revenues, it goes into materials, and should be added via a credit invoice.
