Does your unit purchase equipment? If so, keep the following important points in mind when making these purchases:
- As outlined within the Equipment Account Codes webpage, it is critical that you use the correct expense account code when purchasing equipment. See below for guidance:
- An account code in the 127nnn range must be used for equipment with a unit cost between $2,500 - $4,999.
- An account code in the 163nnn range must be used for equipment with a unit cost of $5,000 or more.
- An account code in the 121nnn, 122nnn, 124nnn, or 126nnn range must be used for consumable supplies or for equipment with a unit cost of $2,499 or less.
- By using the correct account code on your equipment purchases which have a unit cost of $2,500 or more, you will ensure that:
- An Origination Tag (Otag) record will be created in Banner, and
- The new acquisition Otag record will appear in your unit's inbox within the FABweb application.
- Once the new acquisition appears within the FABweb application, your FABweb Unit Repis then required to:
- Review the new acquisition Otag record within the FABweb application for accuracy,
- Request any needed changes to the Otag record to Property Accounting, and
- Submit the new acquisition records to Property Accounting through FABweb.
