ACCOUNT NUMBERS
An account is identified by its unique seven digits with an option of an additional five digit sub account. (e.g., L013104 XYZ99)
An object code is the four-digit code required in each transaction to identify a specific type of transaction and classify the financial activity as income, expense, asset, liability, or fund balance. (e.g., 6550 - office supplies) For a listing of the most commonly used object codes in the Law School, click here.
