Project

A Project is a collection of information. Projects are similar to Departments in terms of their purpose. Unlike Departments, Projects operate using a defined budget period. Specific beginning and ending dates are required to establish a Project. Projects are used in lieu of Departments for research contracts and grants, construction and other facility improvement projects, and a limited number of auxiliary activities.

Either a Project or a Department number is required anytime you enter data for a transaction.

The Project field consists of eight digits.
