How do I know what kind of Contract and MMARS encumbrance transaction to use?
Refer to the Expenditure Classification Handbook. This Handbook includes the object code descriptions and instructions regarding the encumbering and expenditure of all funds. The object code descriptions are brief explanations of the goods and/or services for which funds are encumbered and expended. The object codes in the Handbook are used for all expenditures of the Commonwealth, regardless of whether the payment is to employees, contractors, individuals, recipients, beneficiaries, political sub-divisions, or another department. Note: The last section of the Handbook has an alphabetical listing by title, which can help you narrow down your search for the correct object code.
