2. Capital Operational Default
capital expenditure incurred to create new assets, increase the capacity of assets, return the service potential of the asset
current and short term projects for which the cost is immediately recognised as an expense and funded from the municipalities' operational budget
transactions that do not relate to either capital or operational expenditure

3. THE PROJECT SEGMENT CAPITAL OPERATIONAL DEFAULT
Capital Expenditure: Impact Infrastructure and Non Infrastructure projects for both new and existing capital items.
CAPITAL
Operational Expenditure: Inclusive of maintenance and repairs, daily municipal running costs and non capital objectives of the IDP.
OPERATIONAL
All revenue, liabilities, current assets and gains & losess items.
DEFAULT

4. Step 1: Project Segment
The project is linked to the IDP and named accordingly.
Now answer the following question:
What is the nature of the project ?
CAPITAL
OPERATIONAL
DEFAULT

5. Step 2: Item Segment
Select the relative items that are debited to the project, according to the specific nature of the project.
Capital projects can only be debited with Item-Assets except for current assets
Operational projects can only be debited with Item- Expenditure
Default projects are debited with all other items including current assets

6. Step 3:Function/MSC Segment
The transactions are then allocated to the other six segments starting with the Function and the MSC.
The items are allocated to the specific function area based on the projects relativity to the IDP.
The function must also align the items to the different objectives of each function area.
A project can consist of multiple functions.

7. Step 4: Funding Segment Associate each item to a funding source.
Here again, a project can contain multiple sources of funding except for where specific grants were issued for specific projects

8. Step 5: Regional Segment
The transactions are then allocated to the geographic area benefiting from the project as per the IDP.
If a project spans various regions, then the whole of municipality indicator is used unless the asset is broken into components and allocated to each specific region.
Only default projects can have “No Regional Indicator”

9. Step 6: Costing Segment
Most of the projects will consist of primary transactions that are default for the costing segment.
Use of Costing Segment:
Primary transactions that were not budgeted for in a specific project, will need to be reallocated from its original project.
Primary transactions cannot be reallocated from a capital project to an operational project.
All transactions that were allocated through the costing segment will not impact on the “above the line cost” of the project.

10. Project Segment
You are now ready to create projects consisting of all the items.
