When preparing financial transactions such as Purchasing requisitions or Payroll appointment forms, you need to identify the account for the expenditure to be charged to. This account is referred to as the Master File Key or MFK which is up to 40 characters long and divided into10 elements or fields of information. (Definitions of these codes are on the Accounting Services' Accounting Code Manual Table of Contents web site.)

When the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences gives supplemental funds to a department, special coding is used to identify these funds by using the 8 digit "grant/program" number and the 3 digit "Organizational Account Code." Some may also require the "Cost Center" code to identify a faculty member. The following is a list of the types of funds and appropriate codes.
