USALI 12th Edition

Hello All,

I wanted to create a place to collaborate on questions surrounding the 12th edition of USALI guidance. I've already made a majority of the changes to our expense coding, and in that process, have realized that the guidance does have gaps or I'm unable to locate certain answers to my questions. Hopefully, this can be a place to help each other answer questions as we collectively work on implementing the many changes.

Thanks,
Shane Doyle

I'll start with a few of the items I've run into:

Fuel costs for guest transportation. The definitions seem clear that all vehicle fuels should now go to the Vehicle Fuels account in the EWW department. However, the expense guide has contradictory information. My instinct was to follow my interpretation of the definitions, but keeping fuel costs in Guest Transportation is the preference in some of my company (and I understand the logic). Has anyone considered this?

Music subscriptions for public space. I cannot seem to find any mention of where music from Mood Media and/or PlayNetwork should be coded to. Has anyone seen that in the guidance?

Digital Signage subscriptions. There is the Graphic Design account which would I think would be used for any expenses to create digital collateral for digital signs, but I don't see anything for the actual software contracts for digital signage. 


Any input would be very helpful!
