Submitting a Request for a New Combo Code

   Overview   

The UGA Financial Management System provides an online form to request the creation of a new combo code value. The requester is notified via e-mail when the approval is complete.

The requester may also monitor the progress of the request by going back to the same page and entering the request number assigned at the time of creation.  

Note: Record the request number assigned during submission as this is the quickest method to view the status of the combo code request and access the combo code value upon final approval.
