Use to get descriptive information about a Speedtype.
Remember, Speedtype and Purpose are almost always identical
The exception to this is in academic departments, when one Purpose may
have several Speedtypes associated with it. For example, the CHEM110000
Purpose is referenced by these Speedtypes:

CHEM110000 for instruction and internal service

CHEM11DRES for departmental (unfunded) research

CHEM11PSRV for public service

Charge Expenses
Correctly

Two things for particular attention:
 Accounts
 Programs
 Charge expenses where they belong, not
necessarily where budgeted
 Budget may reside in account 140000
 Charges could be in another account
 Categorize expenses appropriately
 Program chart field allows for this
86
Charge Expenses
Correctly

Special Case for academic departments:
budget will all be in CHEM110000 Purpose
and Speedtype, but an expense may be in
CHEM11DRES Speedtype (CHEM110000
Purpose and INST2 Program)
