02 - 039 Account Coding Conventions

Coding Convention

The coding convention of Account, unlike Fund, Organization, and Activity, is much more proscribed.

The first character represents the major classification, Asset, Liabilities, etc.

The second character begins to refine the classifications into sub-classifications such as cash, investments, etc.

The first two characters are equal to the account code's Banner Account Type level 2 code.

The account hierarchy coding structure has limited sight recognition in order to allow a sufficient range of user-defined codes.

1st character of the account code represents the major account classification:

Balance Sheet Accounts

1 Assets
2 Liabilities
3 Offsets for current year activity on the General Ledger
4 Accumulated Fund Balance as of the beginning of the fiscal year.

Operating Ledger Accounts

5 Revenue
6 Salaries, Wages and Fringe Benefits charges
7 All other expenditures not part of Salaries and wages or transfers

 2nd character of the account code represents the secondary account classification and most often indicates the related line of the external financial statements
