Interlocation Transfer of Funds (ITF)


Description

An ITF is a budgetary transfer of funding for a program or project between two UC campuses. This category of transaction requires a journal submitted in the UC Office of the President (UCOP) ITF system (processed by Budget and Resource Management).  Once approved by UCOP, a journal will post the transfer to the UCSF general ledger (processed by the Controller’s Office). Each campus’ local chartstring must mapped to the new UCOP Common Chart of Accounts (CCOA) structure. (As of September 1, 2023). 

Process

UCSF units that want to transfer Non-Contract and Grant, Non-Agency funds to another campus or to UCOP must complete the UCSF Interlocation Transfer of Funds template.

The funds used at both campuses must be the same type. For example, if you are transferring a from a gift fund (7xxx), the other campus must receive it in a gift fund.  Before you can initiate a transfer, you must request the other campus provide their local chartstring and CCOA Fund. The receiving campus must provide a fund that maps to the same CCOA Level C fund as your source.  Refer to the chart below when requesting the CCOA information from the other campus.
