Download the General Revenue - Object Codes (61KB) to access the General Revenue (GR) list of object codes (for expenditures) in PDF format. This list provides you with definitions and examples of the most commonly used object codes for GR expenditures. This is not an all encompassing list; it is just a guide to the most commonly used object codes for GR expenditures. Many of the more specific object codes have been incorporated into these more common code definitions in order to cut down on confusion and to make your job easier by supplying codes that can be used in almost all occasions for GR expenditures. Umbrella accounts (where the budget resides) are also listed for your convenience.
Download the Agency - Object Codes - Common List/Isolated List (38KB/27KB) to access the Agency lists of object codes (for expenditures) in PDF format. These lists provide you with object code definitions and examples for Agency fund expenditures. The first list is a guide to the most commonly used object codes in the Agency fund, but it is not an all encompassing list. The second list provides you with definitions and examples for the Agency fund object codes that are used in isolated cases throughout the University. These object codes are not usually required, and at the end of many of the definitions on this list an alternative common code is given as an option for billing these expenditures (listed in bold). The Agency fund allows much more flexibility in choosing more general object codes (the common codes) for expenditures. These are easier to use and remember.
Download the Restricted/Grants & Contracts - Object Codes revised 06/01/09 (61KB) to access the Restricted/Grants & Contracts list of object codes (for expenditures) in PDF format. This list provides you with object code definitions and examples for Restricted/Grants & Contracts fund expenditures. This list is a guide to the most commonly used object codes (for expenditures) in the Restricted fund, but it is not an all encompassing list. The common codes are easier to use and remember. Umbrella accounts (where the budget resides) are also listed for your convenience.
Download the Combined List of Expenditure-Object Codes(195KB) to access the combined list of object codes (for expenditures) in PDF format. This list provides you with definitions and examples for expenditure-object codes in use for the General Revenue, Agency, and Restricted Funds. There are many very specific object codes in this list and these can still be used if necessary, but we prefer that the University staff simply use the more common object codes included both in this list and in the various fund lists available from the above links. This document is 34 pages long.
The object code lists will be periodically updated to make your job easier. If you believe a specific object code or example should be added to these lists or if you want a paper copy of any of these lists, and you do not want to download them from this Web page. Call the Datatel Assistance Desk at(309) 438-2270.
