1. From the FMS home page, select "Financial Data Retrieval System." If you have not registered to use the FDRS, you may do so at this time by selecting "FDRS Registration." If you are already a registered user, proceed to the "DataDirect Templates" screen by selecting "DataDirect Templates."
   
   
2. You will be prompted for your user id and password. Once they have been correctly entered, you will be presented with the "DataDirect Templates" screen. Select "Chart of Accounts" to proceed.
   
   
3. You will then be provided with a list of the various reports in the Chart of Accounts category. Select "Object Code Lookup." You will then be presented with the "Object Code Lookup" screen where you will enter the parameters for your report.
   
   
4. To generate a complete list of object codes for your chart of accounts, simply enter the appropriate chart code in the "Chart of Accounts Codes" field. If you are unfamiliar with the chart codes, you may click on the "Valid Values" button beside the field, and make a selection from the list of valid values.
   
   
5. You may return the list to your browser for viewing, or download it to your favorite spreadsheet application. After your selection has been made, enter your password in the field provided, and select the "Run Query" button.

If you are a Transaction Processing user you can perform an on-line search for object codes. You can do this within a TP document by clicking on the down arrow beside the object field. You can also select Inquiries/Reference Tables from the menu bar. You will then be presented with a list, from which you may select Object Codes. This will bring up the object code search window.

Object code listings may also be obtained from the FMS Help Desk. If you are interested in receiving a copy send a request to the FMS Support Form . They can also assist you in determining the correct object code to use if you are still uncertain after viewing the list.
