Chartfields
In SFS, the individual fields in the accounting structure are called
Chartfields. The chartfields in SFS are essentially the same as the
accounting codes used in the legacy system. The few differences are:
1) The U (unit) part of UDDS is no longer needed because data is
already
segregated by Business Unit. So, the SFS Organization
code consists of
D (division) D (department) and S (subdepartment) only.
2) New terminology is used for some of the chartfields.
3) Some of the legacy system object class codes have been combined
into one SFS
Account. Thus, there are fewer codes in SFS.
If more detail tracking is needed, a
new field called Sub Classification can be used at
the discretion of each campus.
The following diagram shows the crosswalk between legacy and SFS
terminology:
