Acceptable Descriptions of Official Expenses for Vouchers

With the conversion to the new Federal Financial System (FFS), it is desired to limit the description field on vouchers to thirty (30) characters, including spaces, to expedite the data entry process. Of course, if you need to use more than thirty (30) characters in your descriptions, this can be accommodated. To help you and to help us, we have developed a Style Guide of the most commonly used descriptions.

If you need assistance with the above, have any other questions or concerns regarding vouchers, or would like a copy of the Style Guide, please contact your Financial Counselor in the Office of Finance.
