Chapter 10 Grid ‐ Expenditure Coding
Restricted Finance Grid Used for expenditures that require a finance code because they are funded by
federal grants, state aid, or local levy which use is restricted by federal regulations or state statutes.
The restricted grid layout is:
Fin – Description – Funds – Organization – Program – Object
The finance dimension is the key dimension of this grid.
Once a requirement for a finance dimension is determined and the finance number has been located on the grid, the remaining allowable expenditure code dimensions can be determined

Revenue Coding
Finance Dimension Used to record revenues as well as expenditures that relate to an activity
funded with a categorical aid or levy, or relates to a reserved fund balance.
Each finance code explanation in the manual states whether or not the finance code needs to be used for UFARS revenue reporting.
If a program is entirely state funded, federally funded, or relates to a restricted/reserved fund balance, use the appropriate finance code for both revenues and expenditures.
If state aid payments for a program are combined with state aid for other purposes, and/or revenue for a program consists in whole or in part from property tax levy revenue, the finance dimension need not be used to identify these revenues (only use for expenditures). If there is an associated reserve fund balance, the finance code needs to be used for both expenditures and revenues.
