Chapter 6 – Transaction Codes

Overview of Transaction Codes

About this Chapter

This chapter explains the manner in which Transaction Codes (T-Codes) define USAS accounting events.

Transaction Codes and Related Profiles

T-Codes are three-digit numbers used to determine the accounting impact of each USAS transaction. For each transaction, T-Codes determine:

  • Impact on General Ledger Accounts
  • Financial table posting
  • Object codes and valid batch and document types
  • Data elements required to process transactions
  • Data element editing requirements

Transaction codes are established by the Comptroller’s office in the 28A/28B Transaction Code Decision Profile.

The following profiles are discussed in this chapter:

  • 28A/28B Transaction Code Decision Profile
  • D31 Comptroller General Ledger Account Profile
  • D10 Comptroller Object Profile
  • D05 Balance Type Profile

28A Transaction Code Decision Profile

The 28A Transaction Code Decision Profile determines the accounting impact of each T-Code.

The 28A Profile is divided into four element categories:

  • General Ledger impact
  • Transaction edit indicators
  • Special indicators
  • Financial table posting indicators
