Statewide Descriptor Tables
Descriptor tables contain descriptive titles of the individual tables and valid codes used in FAS transactions. When a fiscal code is entered in FAS, FAS will check to make sure that the code is valid and present in the descriptor tables. If it is not, FAS will respond with an error message.
The Statewide descriptor tables provide consistency in recording and reporting fixed asset for all agencies. You can view this information on the FAS Descriptor Table Maintenance/Inquiry screen S030, or receive hard copy reports.
Statewide Descriptor Tables are maintained by the State Controller’s Office, Division of Statewide Accounting, Bureau of Accounting Operations.
When entering a descriptor table number (TABLE-ID-NUMBER) in FAS, you would enter two digits, for example, 02. But table 02 is often referred to in documentation as F02. This is true for all descriptor tables.
There may be occasional changes to the statewide tables. When this occurs you will receive notification.
Class codes are used for specific assets under categories or Assets Classes. For example, under Asset Class 2- Buildings, there are specific assets that include office buildings, warehouses, etc. The TABLE-ENTRY-KEY is the 4 digit class code. The REFERENCE-DATA is comprised of:

If the generated STARS transaction code requires an expenditure subobject, the program checks the register number on the FAS transaction code to generate the correct expenditure subobject.
Register 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, or C = STARS acquisition expenditure subobject.
Register 4 = STARS loss expenditure subobject.
Register 6 or A = STARS depreciation expenditure subobject.
If the generated STARS transaction code requires a revenue subobject, the program checks the register number on the FAS transaction code to generate the correct revenue subobject.
Register 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, or C = STARS disposition revenue subobject
Register 4 = STARS gain revenue subobject

This code identifies the type of ownership for a particular asset, used to determine if an asset is capitalized, and/or reportable on the Statewide Financial Statements. The TABLE-ENTRY-KEY is a one character ownership code, as described in the table below. The REFERENCE-DATA is either Y or N (yes or no) to indicate if the asset is reportable on ACFR.

This table is used to control security for FAS transactions. Identifies valid ranges of Transaction Codes for each Operator Class. The TABLE-ENTRY-KEY is a two character operator class code (described in the table below) followed by a one digit page number. Up to 10 pages per operator class can be defined.
The REFERENCE-DATA begins with a one character include/exclude indicator, either I or E. This is immediately followed by a range of FAS transaction codes (i.e., there is no space or comma between the include/exclude indicator and the first transaction code range.) Up to seven ranges of transaction codes can be defined. Each range is separated by a comma, but no spaces.
