• The program number is that number which identifies the entire budget for a program or department. Think of the program number as the identifying number for a checking account. • The 4-digit object code is that number which identifies a category of spending item within the budget for a program or department. For instance, all travel expenditures will come from the object code 6303 within the department or program budget.
