PeopleSoft Chartfields are composed of the following values:
Business Unit—Fund Code—Department ID—Program Code—Project/Grant—Account—Budget Reference
This combination of chartfields constitutes a cost center. These values define whose money it is, what type of money it is,
and what type of activity it is being spent to support.
Business Unit—Each UH System component is defined as a business unit (Ex. 00784=University of Houston Downtown)
Fund Codes—Are coded by the type of money they represent. Examples:
| 1xxx=state |
5xxx– grants |
| 2xxx=designated |
6xxx—endowments and loans |
| 3xxx=auxiliary |
7xxx—plant |
| 4xxx=restricted |
9xxx—agency |
Department—Each UHD department is assigned a unique department code. The leading character is for the campus. The four numbers
following are assigned sequentially.
Ex:
Hxxx—for University of Houston
Cxxx—for University of Houston—Clear Lake
Dxxx—for University of Houston—Downtown
Vxxx—for University of Houston—Victoria
Sxxx—for University of Houston System
Program Code—Five digits are assigned to identify a non-project cost center. The five digits tell the purpose of the cost center by
expenditure function. The expenditure function is related to NACUBO reporting.
Ex:
Axxx = Instructional programs
Bxxx=Research programs
Cxxx=Public service
Dxxx=Academic support
Exxx=Student services
Fxxx=Institutional support
Gxxx=Plant
