Departments involved in construction and repairs using their own resources(e. g., labour and materiel) should include a field designated as «asset object» at the end of the departmental input coding block. The actual goods or services used is then coded in the line object field, while the type of asset affected is recorded by coding the last three digits of the corresponding economic object in the asset object field. This data is required by Statistics Canada to show capital formation in the National Accounts. 1, record 1, English, - line%20object%20field

Les ministères qui utilisent leurs propres ressources (par exemple, main-d'œuvre et matériaux) pour faire effectuer des travaux de construction et de réparation devraient ajouter, à la fin de leur bloc de codage, une zone appelée «article de ressources». Lors du codage de l'opération, on inscrit les biens et services utilisés dans la zone des articles d'exécution et, en utilisant les trois derniers chiffres de l'article économique correspondant, on indique le type de ressources dans la zone des articles de ressources.

Under the new FF, transactions for FA&HSL vote codes 12 and 15 projects will no longer be processed through the Work In Process(WIP), they will instead be posted directly to the Separately Controlled allotment. In order for this to take place, the FMS code block expander must be modified so that when a transaction is input to the project in FMS, the correct expanded line of coding will be generated causing the appropriate transaction to be posted to the FA&HSL cost centre or RC. 1, record 3, English, - FMS%20code%20block%20expander

Selon le nouveau CF, les opérations portant sur des projets appartenant aux codes de crédits 12 et 15 dans la GSLAF ne seront plus traitées dans les Travaux en cours (TEC); elles seront plutôt comptabilisées directement dans l'affectation contrôlée séparément. Pour ce faire, on devra modifier l'extenseur du bloc de codage du SGF pour que lorsqu'une opération est portée à un projet dans le SGF, le système génère la bonne ligne de codage étendue pour comptabiliser l'opération correspondante dans le centre de coûts de la GSLAF ou dans un Centre de responsabilité. 1, record 3, French, - extenseur%20du%20bloc%20de%20codage%20du%20SGF
