Use the MN UFARS Report - Setup - Data Crosswalk - Object page to create a crosswalk (translation table) that converts your district's internal object codes to the corresponding state-defined UFARS Object codes during the UFARS report generation process.
The UFARS Object dimension classifies expenditures and revenues by their nature or type (e.g., salaries, benefits, supplies, purchased services). The Object crosswalk can be fund-specific to handle different translation requirements across funds.
