Last updated: Apr 18th, 2:18pm

A transaction event code is a five-digit code that classifies the transaction type based on money movement and debit or credit. A transaction event code, or T-code, is a five-character alphanumeric string, such as T0001.

A T-code has the following format:

1T<event-group><event-type-code>

Where:

<event-group> is a two-digit general accounting event group. The event group portion of the T-code is sufficient for reconciliation and report parsing.

<event-type-code> is a two-digit event type code.

These tables list the transaction event codes that you use to classify a transaction.
