Manage Federal Account Symbols

The Manage Federal Account Symbols task lets you define the federal account symbols. Federal account symbols identify agencies that handle the appropriation and fund classification without regard to the period of availability to incur new obligations.

Here's a description of values that are part of a federal account symbol:

Attribute	Description
Type	Identifies the agency as Internal or Trading Partner.
Agency Identifier	Identifies a major department or independent agency of the federal government. The agency identifier is also a part of the Treasury Account Symbol with the main account code. It represents the department, agency, or establishment of the US Government that owns the main account.
Main Account Code	Identifies the type and purpose of the fund.
Title	Name of the federal agency's account.
Allow Non-Federal Exception	Determines whether an exception is available for transactions for non-federal entities. These include private entities or local, state, tribal, or foreign governments, or other non-federal trading partners.
