1.             The FRS identifies an account by means of an account number. The account number in the FRS is a 10-digit number (x-xxxxx-xxxx). The first digit (X-xxxxx-xxxx) refers to the ledger to which an account belongs. The next five digits, together with the first digit, identify a unique account (x-XXXXX-xxxx). The final four digits identify a specific account control or object code (x-xxxxx-XXXX).

2.             The first digit in the account number refers to the ledger to which an account belongs. The following is a list of values and descriptive titles:

General Ledger                              Description

4.             The purpose code identifies the broad institutional purpose to which a transaction relates. Purpose codes are designated by the Office of State Budget and/or General Administration, and apply uniformly to State Funds, Trust Funds, and Contract and Grant Funds.  This information is carried as an attribute to the FRS account number (see Gemeral Budget Purpose Code Description--ACT App 1.0).

5.             The department segment of the account number identifies the activity of the departmental cost center in which a transaction should be identified.  The function number assigned to a department is used for State Funds, Trust Funds, and Contract and Grant Funds.  This information is carried as an attribute to the FRS account number.

6.             The account identifier is a five-digit number/value which, along with the first digit (ledger) indicates a unique account.

7.             Object codes are used to record expense/revenue in the Subsidiary Ledger and are referred to as subcodes. A listing of expenditure subcodes can be found in the UNC General Administration Chart of Accounts. Account controls are used to record activity in the General Ledger.

An account control is a four-digit number used to record activity in the general ledger. Account control ranges are defined as follows:

Assets                                                                    1XXX

Liabilities                                                               2XXX

Fund Balances                                                       3XXX
