Object Code Tutorial

Notes on Using Object Codes


  • Codes identified as "S/P ONLY" should only be used on Sponsored Project accounts (3-00000 - 4-99999).

  • Codes identified as "FSO ONLY" should only be used upon approval by Financial Services Office.

  • Codes identified as "ICA Only" should only be used by Intercollegiate Atheletics.

  • The criteria used to determine if an expenditure should be capitalized are:

    1. the item purchased has an expected useful life of one year or more, AND

    2. the purchase price of the item (including tax, freight and other incidental costs) is $5,000 or greater. Purchased software usually is not capitalized; charge it to expense code 4620, Software Licenses/Royalties.
