Transaction Codes A transaction code is a string of numbers grouped into five segments which identifies where money is coming from or going to. You will be asked to assign a transaction code to every item of income and expenditure your Club, Society or Project makes. It is important that you are as accurate as possible when doing this as mistakes can cause unnecessary delays in processing of receipts and payments for your Club, Society or Project. Below is as example of a transaction code and a complete list of all transaction code segments is given in on the next page.
825 – 645 – 58 – 1 – 0 Account – CSP Code – Activity – Funding – Consolidation Account
This describes the purpose of the transaction – for example publicity or travel expenditure.
Club, Society or Project
This is the unique code of your Club, Society or Project – for example 645 is the code for the RSM Exec.
Activity
Most of the activity or your Club, Society of Project will be classed as General (00), however if you are running a Tour or a large event, using an activity will help separate these transactions from your core activities.
Funding
The funding code represents the source of the money you are receiving/spending for example Union Grant or Self Generated Income.
Consolidation
The consolidation code says who you are dealing with – most of the time it will be 0 but for transactions involving the College or internal transactions it will be 1
