A JON is a cost code portion of a line of accounting obtained from the business office or Comptroller. JONs track where money is expensed to a particular Program for a specific purchase, contract, or other approved expenditure. The process flowchart Verify Job Order Numbers (JONs) for the Fiscal Year starts with the Region N8 preparing a preliminary list of JONs and ends with the IPM or RPD executing procurement contracting.

The JON example, shown in the graphic, is checked for completeness each fiscal year by the RPD to ensure there is a JON for all funding areas. For more information about JONs contact your supervisor or RPD.
