The University's Financial System provides 14 different major objects or categories of Expenditure categories available to use when processing various types of expenditures against a departmental budget. These 14 categories correspond to Statewide standard expense objects; and represent either text descriptions that describe the account or the dollar information associated with the account.

Used in conjunction with a department or grant number, the expenditure accounts:

1. Break down each type of expenditure into different expense categories.
2. Subtract the expense from the associated budget pool.
