All expenditure items other than Salary & Wages and staff benefits are collectively referred to as Operating Expenses and Equipment, or, OE&E for short. The detail needed for an OE&E budget depends upon the size of the operating unit’s budget and the nature of its operation. However, our campus is committed to budget transparency. All departments are asked to present their OE&E budgets in some minimum level of detail.
The Minimim Levels of Budgeting (.pdf) chart outlines a minimum level of budgeting. There are additional OE&E expenditure account codes that the CSU requires in specific instances and these should be incorporated into your reporting if necessary.
You may decide to use PeopleSoft class and program codes if you have a need to segregate a unique activity. Please note that if you use a class or a program code to identify a particular budget, you must use that same class or program code for your LCD setup and/or on your requisitions in order to have these expenditures recorded against that same budget.
