The All Segment Values Report is an essential tool that provides a list of all available segment values, their descriptions and other key attributes.

💡 All employees with financial responsibility must use and frequently refer to the live All Segment Values Report. Bookmark it for quick access!

When you open the report, you'll see eight tabs:

  • Fund

  • Department

  • Cost Center

  • Account types (four tabs: Expense, Revenue, Budget, Other)

  • Supplemental - not used by everyone

  • Project - only used if you have a project-funded source

Visit the List of Financial Terms to learn about common terms used by Administrative Accounting.

A Funding Segment String is a combination of eight segments used to accurately code financial activity at Boise State University.

Proper coding is essential for financial accuracy and efficiency. Incorrect coding creates extra work for multiple teams and leads to corrections that could have been avoided.

Bronco Hub is the Oracle financial system used by Boise State employees to process transactions such as Expense Reports, Requisitions, Invoice Payments and Journal Entries. All of these types of transactions require a funding segment string to be able to submit and process.

💡Funding Segment String, Funding String and FDCC all mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.
