      OR
    2. Select From all values… and search by Value (example: 200250-1) or Description (example: 103 Indirect Cost Recovery) or a portion of either Value (example: 200) or Description (example: Indi).
  2. Click the Add Split link on the right of the Accounting Code popup box to split C-FOAPAL codes and repeat Step 1 above.
