Open Account Numbers

Certain account numbers are not designated with a specific account name. Instead, they are marked as OPEN account numbers in the Uniform Chart of Accounts and are available for local units to use if a local unit’s accounting system requires detailed classification and the Uniform Chart of Accounts does not contain a designated number that is suitable. They should be used under the proper classification that the Uniform Chart of Accounts indicates.

Reserved Account Numbers

Certain account numbers are not available for local units and are for Michigan Department of Treasury use only. They are marked as RESERVED in the Uniform Chart of Accounts. The department will use these for future state-wide accounts.

Point Off

Local units are encouraged to point off for account numbers to record detailed accounting information if needed. Local units can use numbers or letters for point off. There is no limit to the number of digits or letters to use. Also, the actual use of the decimal is optional. Please see Example 5 under the Examples of Creating an Account Number in this section. Please refer to the table of balance sheet/statement of net position accounts in Section 3 and the descriptions of account numbers in Section 4 for detailed information.

There are three levels of detail provided for revenue and other financing source accounts. They are control account, sub-control accounts, and detailed accounts. The levels of detail each local unit uses are at the discretion of the individual units according to their needs. Smaller units may find that using only the control and sub-control numbers provides them with all the information necessary.

Control Account Number

Account number 400 is the highest-level revenue account number. The balance of it must at all times equal the total balance of all the revenue accounts.

Sub-Control Account Numbers

They are the second highest account numbers. The balance of each revenue sub-control account must at all times equal the total balance of all the detailed revenue accounts under that sub-control account. For example, the total balance of 401 must equal the total of 402 through 449.

Detailed Account Numbers

They are the lowest level of revenue account numbers. Using them would provide more detailed accounting information for local units.

Open Account Numbers

Within the detailed revenue account numbers, certain account numbers are not designated with a specific account name. Instead, they are marked as OPEN account numbers in the Uniform Chart of Accounts and are available for local units to use if a local unit’s accounting system requires detailed classification and the Uniform Chart of Accounts does not contain a designated number that is suitable. They should be used under the proper classification that the Uniform Chart of Accounts indicates.

Reserved Account Numbers

Within the detailed revenue account numbers, certain numbers are not available for local units and are for Michigan Department of Treasury use only. They are marked as RESERVED in the Uniform Chart of Accounts. The department will use these for future state-wide accounts.

Point Off

Local units are encouraged to point off for account numbers to record detailed accounting information if needed. Local units can use numbers or letters for point off. There is no limit to the number of digits or letters to use. Also, the actual use of the decimal is optional. Please see Example 5 under the Examples of Creating an Account Number in this section.

Please refer to the table of accounts for revenues and other financing sources in the Section 3 and the descriptions of those accounts in Section 4 for detailed information.

There are three levels of detail provided for local units to record expenditures/expenses and other financing uses. They are control account, sub-control accounts, and detailed accounts. The levels of detail that each local unit uses are at the discretion of the individual unit according to its needs. Smaller units may find that using only the control and sub-control numbers provides them with all the information necessary.

Control Account Number

Account number 700 is the highest-level account number. The balance of it must at all times equal the total balance of all the expenditures/expenses, other financing uses, and unusual or infrequent items.

Sub-Control Account Numbers

They are the second highest-level account numbers for expenditures/expenses and other financing uses. The balance of each sub-control account must at all times equal the total balance of all the detailed accounts under that sub-control account. For example, the total balance of 701 must equal the total of 702 through 725.

Detailed Account Numbers

They are the lowest-level account numbers. Using them would provide more detailed accounting information for local units.

Open Account Numbers

Within the detailed account numbers, certain account numbers are not designated with a specific account name. Instead, they are marked as OPEN account numbers in the Uniform Chart of Accounts and are available for local units to use if a local unit’s accounting system requires detailed classification and the Uniform Chart of Accounts does not contain a designated number that is suitable. They should be used under the proper classification that the Uniform Chart of Accounts indicates.

Local units are encouraged to point off for account numbers to record detailed accounting information if needed. Local units can use numbers or letters for point off.
