Capital FAQs

Generally, the Budget Object Code 6000 – Capitalized Property Purchases is used in the Budget Layout/Form 106_RY_LONG_BILL_CAP.  It can be used for both Capital Construction and IT Capital budget requests.

Please communicate and coordinate the use of the new appropriation units between Budget and Accounting offices within your respective agency/department.  Some agencies have a representative on staff who is approved to add new appropriation codes.  Check with your agency’s Budget Director and/or Controller for internal processes. 

If your agency does not have a contact assigned for this process, work with your respective Financial Services Unit (FSU) contact to set up the appropriate new codes. Email dpa_farmailbox@state.co.us with your request.  Your FSU contacts can also tell you who in your agency has access to set up new appropriation units if you are unsure.

The fund type code in the Budget Layout 106_RY_LONG_BILL_CAP is dependent on the second character of the associated Appropriation Unit. See below:

The default Long Bill Line/Program Code in the Budget Layout 106_RY_LONG_BILL_CAP is “0”. Capital requests do not have a related schedule, so Long Bill Line/Program codes are not needed.  Use the default “0”.
