Account Code Changes - Food & Travel

 

As presented at the “L.E.A.R.N.” session on June 9, 2008, some changes in uses of Food and Travel account codes are being implemented.

Please refer to the Account Code Definitions list to see the revised definitions.

 

Highlights:

31A0 is renamed “Business Food-Local”, and is for food consumed primarily by guests of the University, or at a business meeting, where food is incidental to the meeting. Food recorded in this account code is not associated with travel.

3860 “Business Meals and Hospitality” is to be used to record all business-related food expenses purchased for guests while traveling, excluding meal expense incurred in the recruitment process. 

39Z0 has been terminated.  Please use 39Z1 “Travel Non UNM Employee-Non Foreign” for all travel expenses incurred by non-foreign, non-UNM employees traveling on behalf on UNM.

Based on the destination of travel, all employee travel expenses should be recorded in:

3800 In State Travel, or;
3820 Out of State Travel, or;
3840 Foreign Travel.
