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.

The Request Combo Codes page is displayed. The Effective Date field is required.
For combo codes not associated with a project/grant, use the beginning of the current fiscal year (07/01) as the effective date. This allows the combo code to be used for position funding and express direct retro purposes for any pay period in the current fiscal year.
For combo codes that are associated with a project/grant, use the project begin date.
Enter the appropriate information in the Effective Date field.
Note: A future effective date can be entered, but the combo code cannot be used in OneUSG Connect prior to that date. For example, if today’s date is 08/01/2021, a combo code with a future effective date of 11/01/2021 cannot be used in OneUSG Connect even if the funding effective date being entered is for the pay period beginning 11/14/2021.
