(Office of Origin: CGFS/FPRA/FP)
4 FAH-1 H-611 PURPOSE
(CT:FMH-275; 04-18-2024)
a. The object classifications identify the kinds of services, materials, and other resources for which U.S. Government payments are made. They cover all types of obligations, payments, current operating expenses, and capital outlays. The basic object codes are prescribed by the Office of Management and Budget in Circular No. A-11, Preparation, Submission, and Execution of the Budget (OMB Circular A-11).
b. The basic code for object classes contains two digits, a decimal, and a third digit (e.g., object class 11.1). OMB Circular A-11 states the purpose of object codes as follows:
(1) Object classification is used to report obligations for each account according to the nature of the services or articles procured; and
(2) Object class information is required for each program and financing schedule, including schedules for supplemental requests, rescission proposals, and items proposed for later transmittal.
c. Obligations are classified by the initial purpose for which they are incurred, rather than for the end product or service provided. For example, if an agency pays directly for personal services and supplies used in the construction of a building, the amounts should be classified as obligations for personnel compensation and supplies rather than for land and structures. Conversely, if an agency contracts for the construction of a building, the amounts should be classified in the object class for lands and structures rather than in the object class used to report individual types of materials and services required to construct the building.
d. The Department requires a more detailed classification than that prescribed in OMB Circular A-11, and subobject codes and titles are prescribed in the sections below. The approved list of subobject codes in numerical sequence with standard title abbreviations is in 4 FAH-1 H-613. This list is used as the standard table look-up for writing object classifications in “the clear” on computer produced financial management reports. The object and subobject codes, complete titles, and definitions are found in 4 FAH-1 H-614.
e. The OMB-prescribed object codes are shown in parentheses, e.g., (11.1), to the right of the applicable subobject codes used by the Department of State and serviced foreign affairs agencies. Summaries of allotment and budgetary accounting data for budget purposes should be compiled by the computer by use of a table look-up. Section 4 FAH-1 H-613 is used for coding accounting or input documents.
f. The MAX schedule requirements and format for object class schedules are shown in OMB Circular A-11’s Object Classification section. The one-digit prefix codes 1 to 9 are used to distinguish between direct, reimbursable, and other types of object class categories.
g. The following example illustrates this coding procedure:
Object Class Code |
Description |
126001 |
Direct program obligations for supplies and materials: Prefix 1 = Direct program. Code 260 = Object class 26.0, Supplies and Materials. Suffix 01 = The first entry for this object class for this account. |
4 FAH-1 H-612 SCOPE AND APPLICABILITY
(CT:FMH-305; 10-22-2024)
a. The object and subobject classifications are required in the accounting for all appropriated and allotted funds. Transactions chargeable to regional and functional bureau allotment authorities and allotments and Diplomatic Programs direct/program and ICASS allotments are usually coded as indicated at the right of the subobject codes and titles in 4 FAH-1 H-613 and 4 FAH-1 H-614, and as follows:
A |
Regional Bureaus (Posts - Program) |
4XXX Allotments |
B |
Regional Bureaus (Posts - ICASS) |
5XXX Allotments |
C |
Regional and Functional Bureaus |
10XX and 30XX (Domestic Expenses) Allotments; 20XX (Washington-Held Expenses Abroad) Allotments; 0XXX, 1XXX, 2XXX, 3XXX, 6XXX, EXXX, FXXX, MXXX, NXXX, and RXXX (Expenses Abroad, Posts - Functional Bureaus) Allotments |
b. International/Post Assignment Travel (IPAT) transactions under allotment 2025 are separately identified by subobject codes as follows:
(1) 2099 bulk obligations (see definition);
(2) Liquidations only under allotment 2025 as prescribed under International/Post Assignment Travel Expenditures in section 4 FAH-1 H-614; and
(3) All subobject classifications for International/Post Assignment Travel are indicated by (IPAT) at the right of the applicable subobject titles.
c. Transactions chargeable to OBO allotments 2XXX and 6XXX under 19X0535 (and 19X0538, as applicable) are usually codes as indicated in paragraph a of this section.
d. All obligations and expenditures for Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration (ITA), and Department of Agriculture, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) are classified by the Department of State uniform object classifications. The subobject classifications applicable to these agencies are indicated by (ITA) and (FAS), respectively, at the right of the subobject titles for the subobject codes used by the agencies:
(1) The Department of State cannot accurately convert to dissimilar subobject codes for these agencies, and crosswalks have been provided for their conversion, as required. If other subobject codes are required for these agencies, requests should be addressed to CGFS/FPRA/FP; and
(2) Obligations and expenditures for the International Boundary Commission (IBC), International Boundary and Water Commission (IBWC), and International Joint Commission (IJC), are classified by Department of State subobject codes as applicable. Obligations for Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) will be converted to these subobject codes.
e. Subobject codes subject to capitalization at the prescribed dollar value, and reporting to the general ledger, are indicated at the right of the subobject titles in the 3100 series by (CGL).
f. As stated in 4 FAH-1 H-613, no other object or subobject codes, titles, and definitions, except as approved and published in 4 FAH-1, are authorized. This means that:
(1) Summary reports are made by certain summary subobject codes for the Department and serviced agencies, and OMB object classes as shown in 4 FAH-1 H-610;
(2) No other subobject or object summaries are inferred; and
(3) So-called “0000” above the line, “9999”, or any other derived or computed numbers in the subobject field, are prohibited.
g. Revisions and additions are indicated by italics.
h. Although the object and subobject codes listed in 4 FAH-1 H-613 may be used with any accounting transaction that is chargeable to an ICASS appropriation and/or allotment, posts must verify that the subobjects are authorized within the ICASS software prior to use.
i. Classifying intragovernmental transactions (interagency agreements): Classify the direct obligation in the object class that best describes the purchase, such as 11.0–personnel compensation; 21.0–travel and transportation of persons; 24.0–printing and reproduction, etc. (see OMB Circular A-11).
4 FAH-1 H-613 OBJECT AND SUBOBJECT CLASS CODES AND STANDARD TITLE ABBREVIATIONS
(CT:FMH-305; 10-22-2024)
The following is the standard table look-up for computer-produced financial reports. Each title abbreviation is limited to 20 positions to save space. This provides for printing titles “in clear” and interchangeability with standard function, property, or other titles on uniform financial management reports. Codes shown in parentheses (e.g., (1000) PERS COMP&BENEFITS) are for summary purposes as a roll-up from the individual budget object codes and are not used to code individual transactions. Detailed budget object codes should be used for the classification of obligations and expenditures made for services or procured items. Complete titles and definitions for the use of object classifications and coding input documents are shown in 4 FAH-1 H-614.
