The budget account is an administrative or functional subdivision of a budget agency and must have at least one federal account symbol associated with it. The Define Budget Account Codes window defines and updates an agency’s budget account code information.
The federal account symbol must be established before defining the budget account because a budget account must be associated with a federal account symbol.
In the Define Budget Account Codes window, specify these values to describe the budget account:
Budget status indicator
Borrowing source values
Function
Before setting up budget account codes you must establish the federal account symbol to be associated with the budget account code.
