Accounting Code Design Specifics

Customer Agency: U.S. Food and Drug Administration and U.S. Department of Health & Human Services

Describe by accounting code element the specifics of the design, such as the fourth position represents a subsection within the customer agency or valid values for the fifth position are T, V or E. It could also contain information that supports cross validation rules, such as when the fourth position of a segment is X, the valid values for a separate segment are Y and Z. As accounting code values are added in the future, the design specifics should contain sufficient information to support the review of the accounting code additions and allow for questions to be asked when additions do not comply with design specifics.
