Statewide Descriptor Tables​

Descriptor tables contain descriptive titles of the individual tables and valid codes used in FAS transactions. When a fiscal code is entered in FAS, FAS will check to make sure that the code is valid and present in the descriptor tables. If it is not, FAS will respond with an error message.

The Statewide descriptor tables provide consistency in recording and reporting fixed asset for all agencies. You can view this information on the FAS Descriptor Table Maintenance/Inquiry screen S030, or receive hard copy reports.

Statewide Descriptor Tables are maintained by the State Controller’s Office, Division of Statewide Accounting, Bureau of Accounting Operations.

When entering a descriptor table number (TABLE-ID-NUMBER) in FAS, you would enter two digits, for example, 02. But table 02 is often referred to in documentation as F02. This is true for all descriptor tables.

There may be occasional changes to the statewide tables. When this occurs you will receive notification.

F02 - Asset Class Code Table

Class codes are used for specific assets under categories or Assets Classes. For example, under Asset Class 2- Buildings, there are specific assets that include office buildings, warehouses, etc. The TABLE-ENTRY-KEY is the 4 digit class code. The REFERENCE-DATA is comprised of:

 

  • 3 digit useful life code (use leading zeros or all zeros for none)
  • 1 character property type code (R=real, P=personal)
  • 1 character class type code:
  • 1 = Land Areas
  • 2 = Buildings
  • 3 = Improvements Other Than Buildings
  • I = Items that do not need to be depreciated
  • 4 = Machinery, Equipment, and Other
  • A = Vehicles – Autos, Trucks, Buses, Motorcycles

    Refer to DAFR4630 – FAS Descriptor Table Class Code Report in Online Reporting for a list of the Descriptor Table 02 asset class codes and their reference data - table entry keys, property type codes, transaction codes etc.

F04 - Insurance Indicator Code

F16 - Class Code Range

Class code ranges used in FAS programming, including which subobject and TCs to use in generating depreciation, gains, and losses. The TABLE-ENTRY-KEY is an 8 digit class code range made up of a 4 digit ‘Class Code From’ followed by a 4 digit ‘Class Code To’, as described in the table below. The REFERENCE-DATA is comprised of the following:

 

DP (Depreciation)

  • 3 character FAS depreciation transaction code

  • 3 character FAS prior year depreciation transaction code

  • 4 digit STARS depreciation expenditure subobject

GN (Gain)

  • 3 character FAS gain transaction code (statewide)

  • 4 digit STARS gain revenue subobject

LS (Loss)

  • 3 character FAS loss transaction code

  • 4 digit STARS loss expenditure subobject

UL (Useful Life)

  • 3 digit useful life – low

  • 3 digit useful life – high

  • A (Acquisition)

  • 4 digit STARS acquisition expenditure subobject

D (Disposition)

  • 4 digit STARS disposition revenue subobject

AG (Agency)

  • 3 character FAS gain transaction code (agency)

  • 3 character FAS loss transaction code (agency)


The following table shows the valid class code ranges assigned to particular asset classes.

Class Code From – Class Code To

Asset Class Title

0000 – 0199

0400 – 0499

Buildings

0500 – 0599

Construction in Progress

 

If the generated STARS transaction code requires an expenditure subobject, the program checks the register number on the FAS transaction code to generate the correct expenditure subobject.

Register 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, or C       =  STARS acquisition expenditure subobject.

Register 4                             =  STARS loss expenditure subobject.

Register 6 or A                      =  STARS depreciation expenditure subobject.

 

If the generated STARS transaction code requires a revenue subobject, the program checks the register number on the FAS transaction code to generate the correct revenue subobject.

            Register 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7,  or C  =  STARS disposition revenue subobject

            Register 4                             =  STARS gain revenue subobject


 

F17 - Subobject/Transaction Code

Identifies which FAS transaction codes will be created when converting STARS data to FAS. The TABLE-ENTRY-KEY is a two character asset class code and the REFERENCE-DATA is a three character FAS Transaction Code (TC), as described below.
