Food Approval Codes (Gift Budgets ONLY)

Overview

Food approval codes identify the purposes for which food may be purchased. The food approval code assigned to a budget can be found by looking at the MyFD Budget Profile's Food Approval section. You can also review the Financial Accounting System (Financial Index Inquiry, screen #5) Budget Number Validation screen (#3). Food Approval flags and codes are ONLY applied to gift budgets. Grant/contract budgets do NOT require the approval flag to make food purchases. Please see Post Award Fiscal Compliance's food page for more information on purchasing food on grant/contract budgets.
