Financial Records (H)

Operational Unit (QC)

A three digit number assigned by individual school districts defining specific locations or buildings within the district. For instance, you can track expenditures of the high school separately from those of a middle school or elementary by implementing operational units.

If the OPU is a school building, use the building IRN for the entity IRN. If the OPU is not a school building and refers to district wide expenditures, the district IRN should be used for the entity IRN and the entity type should be blank. If the OPU is the central office then the entity IRN should be the district IRN and the entity type should be a “C”.

Cash (QC)

Cash accounts are established to track the actual amount of cash that the district has in the bank. As expenditures are made, the cash is decreased and as receipts are posted, the cash increases. The cash accounts are composed of the following account dimensions:

XXX  Fund: A three digit number assigned by the Auditor of State to ensure that the money of a district is spent for purposes identified in the appropriations. The fund numbers identify whether it is the general fund, or a federal or state fund. The funds help categorize your expenses and revenues, such as general fund, or federal and state funds. The valid fund numbers are identified in the Auditor of State manual titled "Uniform School Accounting System”

XXXX Special Cost Center (SCC): A four digit number which is defined by the individual school districts. The SCC is used to further divide money in the various funds.  Some districts use the fiscal year as part of the SCC, example 9012 (FY2012)

Expenditure (QC)

Budget accounts provide a breakdown of estimated and actual expenditures. The budget accounts are composed of the following account dimensions:

XXX Fund: A three digit number assigned by the Auditor of State. The fund number for a budget account should correspond to the fund number of the associated cash account.

XXXX Special Cost Center (SCC): A four digit number which is defined by the individual school district. The SCC is used to further divide money within the fund number. The SCC on a budget account should match the SCC on the cash account

XXXX Function: A four digit number assigned by the Auditor of State. The function code identifies the program or activities of the expenditure. The function code at the budget level can carry three or four digits of significance.

XXX Object: A three digit number assigned by the Auditor of State. The purpose of the object code is to identify the goods or services of the school district. The object code can have two or three significant digits.

XXXXXX Subject: A six digit number assigned by the Auditor of State in conjunction with the Ohio Department of Education. Please refer to the EMIS User Manual distributed by the Ohio Department of Education for the most current list of valid subject codes. The subject codes are listed in Appendix C of the EMIS User Manual. Subject codes are used to specifically identify the costs involved with the various subjects offered at a school district. For example, the expenditures for English Education can be tracked separately from Health Occupations by utilizing subject codes. The first two digits of the subject code will always define the academic "area" while the last four digits define the specific subject. Districts can choose to use the first two digits of the subject or the entire code. Use of the first two digits only, provides for the ability to track expenditures by the subject area but eliminates the need to update accounts each time ODE may make modifications to the existing subject codes. However, use of the full six digit subject code provides for a more detailed accounting structure

XXX Operational Unit (OPU): A three digit number assigned by individual school districts defining specific locations or buildings within the district. For instance, you can track expenditures of the high school separately from those of a middle school or elementary by implementing operational units.

XX Instructional Level (IL): A two digit number assigned by the Auditor of State. The instructional level identifies the grade level at which expenditures are being made.

XXX Job Assignment: This three digit number is also assigned by the Auditor of State. The job assignment is used to track expenditures of various positions within the district. An example would be tracking the expenditures of the Superintendent, Treasurer, and the Librarian separately.

Prior Fiscal Year Encumbered: Monies encumbered from previous fiscal year and carried over into new fiscal year

Total Appropriation: Budget showing projected spending for current fiscal year

Actual Expenditure : Total monies expended for fiscal year for goods or services

Current Encumbered: Monies set aside (encumbered) but goods/services not received

Receipt (QC)

Revenue accounts track the estimated and actual receipts for a school district. The revenue accounts are composed of the following account dimensions:

XXX Fund: A three digit number assigned by the Auditor of State. The fund number for a revenue account should correspond to the fund number of the associated cash account.

XXXX Special Cost Center (SCC): A four digit number which is defined by the individual school district. The SCC is used to further divide money within the fund number. The SCC on a revenue account should match the SCC on the cash account

XXXX Receipt: A four digit number assigned by the Auditor of State. The receipt code identifies the source of the receipt. For instance, is the money coming in from taxes, tuition, cafeteria money, or from fees?
