Comments: This data element was expanded effective December 31, 2000 as part of the GASB 35 implementation project to bring the numbers assigned to buildings in three local campus files into alignment. The three files being: CFS Asset (CFSAST), EFA Equipment Inventory (EFA100), and EFA Facilities (EFA70 and EFA71). The same unique building number should be used across all three systems to refer to the same individual building.
Also, please refernce Accounting Manual Chapter P-415.8 Part IV.F. and the February 7, 1996 letter (PDF) to Assistant Vice Chancellors/Accounting Officers on the assignment of CAANs.
