Modifying SpeedCharts

Use this process to modify existing SpeedCharts.  SpeedCharts are used in OAKS FIN as a shortcut to enter frequently used ChartField combinations thereby reducing keystrokes. When SpeedCharts are used, the Distribution Line pre-populates so there is no need for any manual ChartField entry.

• Common ChartFields in a SpeedChart:
  • Funds segregate accounting transactions for activities or objectives and correspond to the fund structure that the State used in legacy systems.
  • The Account is a description for a purchase. Account values are classified in five broad account types: Asset, Liability, Equity, Revenue, or Expense.
  • The ALI (appropriation line item) code is the legal spending authority authorized by the budget bill.
  • The Department is the agency's numeric designation for the section responsible for the cost of the voucher or the source of the revenue.
  • The Service Location ChartField describes where a good or service is received.

Multi-line SpeedCharts can be created to allow split coding. Additionally, SpeedCharts with limited fields completed can be created. For example, agencies that commonly use the same Fund, ALI, Department, and Service Location can establish a SpeedChart and use it when vouchering. Only the Account needs to be added on each voucher. If an agency has an existing SpeedChart that does not have a Service Location, the agency must add it to each voucher.
