Sub-Object Code and Global

Overview

The Sub-Object document is used to define an optional part of the accounting string that allows you to create finer distinctions within a particular object code on an account. For example, your institution may have an object code for in-state travel but you would like to track travel expenses at a greater level of detail. You could create sub-object codes to reflect faculty in-state travel, staff in-state travel, student in-state travel, or any other designation required.

Sub-object codes are specific to an account and a fiscal year and take on most of the attributes of the object code to which they report, including object code type and sub-type.

• The object code associated with the sub-object code must be active.
• Expired accounts are allowed, however, if the account is expired, you will be asked ir you want to replace it with the continuation account.
• Sub-Object documents route to the Fiscal Officer or Primary Delegate associated with the account on the document.

Sub-Object Code Global

The Sub-Object Code Global document is used to create multiple sub-object codes on a single document.

• The global document cannot be used to edit existing values.  
• The Global Sub-Object Code document is subject to the same business rules as the Sub-Object Code document. In addition, at least one account must be selected on the Accounts tab and one object code must be selected on the Object Code tab.
• Global Sub-Object Code documents route to the Chart Manager and University Chart Manager.
