Manage Treasury Account Symbols

The Manage Treasury Account Symbols task lets you define identification codes for individual appropriations, receipts, and other fund accounts of an agency.

The Treasury Account Symbol (TAS) is assigned by the Treasury, in collaboration with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the agency itself. The TAS is used to classify all financial transactions of the federal government for reporting to the Treasury and OMB. The TAS is derived from the internal fund code at the time of the reporting.

This table describes the values that you see on the Manage Treasury Account Symbols page:

Attribute	Description
Type	Identifies the agency as Internal or Trading Partner.
Treasury Account Symbol	An identification code assigned by the Treasury to an individual appropriation, receipt, or other fund account of the agency. The OMB and the owner agency are also involved in this assignment.
Agency Identifier	Identifies a major department, agency or establishment of the government. Agency identifier code is used along with the main account code to constitute the TAS.
Main Account Code	Identifies the type and purpose of the fund.
Allocation Transfer Agency Identifier	Represents the agency receiving funds through an allocation transfer.
Authority Duration Code	Identifies the account based on its duration as: Annual year account Multiyear account Receipt account Clearing or suspense account No-year account Canceled account
Beginning Period of Availability	For annual and multiyear accounts, this value identifies the first year of availability under law that an account may incur new obligations.
Ending Period of Availability	For annual and multi-year accounts, this value identifies the last year of availability under law that an account may incur new obligations.

Note: You must define a federal account symbol before you define a TAS.

Defining a Treasury Account Symbol

Here's how you can define a new TAS record:

1. Click the Add icon.

2. On the Create Treasury Accounting Symbol page, select the federal account symbol. This populates the agency type, agency identifier, and the main account code associated with the federal account symbol.

3. On the TAS Components and Attributes tab, provide these values for the TAS components:

   TAS Component	Optional or Required
   Sublevel Prefix	Optional
   Allocation Transfer Agency Identifier	Optional
   Sub-Account Code	Optional
   Authority Duration Code	Required

4. Enter these values for other TAS attributes:

5. The application dynamically builds the TAS based on the values you enter.

   Note: Not all components are required to create a TAS. Some fields are optional, such as Allocation Transfer Agency Identifier, Sub-Account Code, or Sub-Level Prefix Code, and other fields don't have a value entered. They aren't recorded as part of the TAS.

6. Click Save.
