Task Order Indirect Cost Accounting
Task Order Indirect Cost Accounting (TOICA) stores data necessary for the accounting distribution of indirect costs related to specific Task Orders in the Task Order Indirect Costing process. The set of fields in the Indirect Cost Expense section are the COA distribution for indirect costs (expenditure debit). COA not specified here flow through from the original transaction selected to that recording the indirect costs. The set of fields in the Indirect Cost Recovery (expenditure credit), where the wildcard of BLNK is permitted to denote those that will not be inferred from the originating transaction. The default value for all COA elements, except Fund, Department, Unit, and either Object or Revenue, is BLNK, but can be manually changed.
Field InformationField Information
Beyond the chart-of-account fields present (see the Chart of Accounts User Guide) there are several that warrant further coverage:
|
Field Name |
Description |
|
Object |
This selection determines the validation table for the Code field. Options are Code (OBJ), Class (OCLS), Category (OCAT), Type (OTYP), and Group (OGRP). |
|

Depending on the object value selected, this field records the specific code related to that level of object. This determines which COA elements on the originating transaction determine indirect cost eligibility. |
