Plan Only Fund Types

Introduction

Plan Only Fund Members were created in CalPlan and HCP to provide planners with the ability to enter high-level or summary plan values at the fund type or fund “bucket” and to simplify the planning and comparison of plan values to actuals.

When creating their plans for Operating Budgets and Forecasts, planners will have the flexibility to do all their planning in the five Plan Only Fund Types.

When reviewing Actual data in CalRptg, all the individual BFS funds (30K+) are visible and mapped to their corresponding Plan Only Fund Types in CalPlanning.  You can reference the BFS to CalPlan Fund Map Table job aid to identify the rollup for each of the 30K+ individual funds.

Plans are created with Current Funds

Plans are created in CalPlanning at the Current Fund major fund group, which captures the financial activity and balances associated with the campus’ annual operations. Non-Current Funds including Agency, Loan, Reserve and Plant Capital Project Funds are not planned in CalPlanning. Within Current Funds there are Unrestricted and Restricted fund types.

Unrestricted Funds

Available for any campus purpose without external limitations or stipulations. May be used for any legal and reasonable purpose, following established policies and procedures, in order to carry out the primary mission of the campus. Designated Funds have internal restrictions on their use that are imposed by the Board of Regents or the UC Office of the President (UCOP). 

Restricted Funds

Have specific, external constraints on how these funds may be expended or used. External restrictions come from donors, funding agencies, or others providing funds.
