Account codes are 5-digit chartfields used to categorize the nature of transactions, (e.g. assets, liabilities, revenue, expenditures, etc.). For budgeting purposes, a select range of accounts have been identified. The Budgetary Accounts range 80000 - 89999 and, therefore, include:
80120 - NPS Supplies and Materials
80121 - NPS Travel
80122 - NPS Misc. Contractual Services
80123 - NPS Equipment and Acquisitions
80124 - NPS Fringe Benefits
These accounts are budgetary ONLY, meaning, they only record budget transactions, (e.g. allocations. transfers, etc.).
Expenditure accounts, however, are sub-accounts to budgetary accounts that record financial transactions. They range 50000 - 59999. These categorize and record department expenditures. For example:
Expenditure Account | Description | Budgetary Account |
51001 | Office Supplies | 80120 - NPS Supplies & Materials |
51104 | Classroom Books | 80120 - NPS Supplies & Materials |
52202 | Out-of-Town - PSC Auto Rental | 80121 - NPS Travel |
52253 | Out-of-Town - Non-PSC Lodging | 80121 - NPS Travel |
51402 | Periodicals/Subscriptions | 80122 - NPS Misc. Contractual Services |
51403 | Printing & Publishing Services | 80122 - NPS Misc. Contractual Services |
53902 | Office Furniture <$5K | 80123 - NPS Equipment & Acquisitions |
