About Chartfield1o Chartfield1 codes are Banner Activity

codeso Key changes to Chartfield1 codes

● If the first four digits of your Banner Activity code were the same as your Banner Index/Org code, the first four digits of your PS Chartfield1 code will be the same as your PS Department.

● Facilities planned major maintenance (PMM) projects that were tracked with Activity codes in Banner are now tracked with Project codes in PS.

● For other Activity codes used during the past two years, the PS Chartfield1 code we created is the same value.

How Chartfield1 codes can be usedo A “Chartfield1” code can be added to

track budget and actual at a program, event, or activity level.

o For Example●  Theatre department can have different Chartfield1

codes so track revenues and costs by each production.● Optimize Puget Sound project can track the cost of

implementing individual PeopleSoft modules (e.g. Campus, HR/Payroll, Financials, Analytics).

● Alumni Programs can use unique Chartfield1 code to track the revenues and expenses associated with each event.
