SACS Valid Codes and Combinations

The California Department of Education periodically updates SACS codes and code combinations because of new funding programs, obsolete funding programs, and accounting changes. These updates are reflected in tables of valid codes and code combinations. When updates are made to the SACS validation tables, revised tables and support documents are posted here.

These validation table updates:

• Have been applied to the SACS Web-based Financial Reporting System (SACS Web System);
• Are provided for local educational agencies that opt to use the tables for updating their local financial reporting systems; and
• Will download by default into the C:\SACS2022ALL\Update\.

To receive an email notification of updates to SACS valid codes and combinations, please send a blank message to join-sacs-update@mlist.cde.ca.gov to subscribe to the sacs-update mailing list.
