How do I create a default ChartString for my Requisitions
A PDF version of this tip is available to view and print.
What Is It?
When on the checkout screen for your CU Marketplace Cart, Requesters must ensure the Accounting Code (ChartString) information is complete and correct before submitting as a Requisition for approval. Shoppers have the option to enter this information but are not required to do so. Refer to the How Do I Enter a ChartString in My Requisition? tip for guidance.
You can create default values for ChartFields in your Profile and those values will automatically be populated in your Requisitions. Sources for information related to your default ChartField values include your Department Administrator, ARC Requester Defaults Page or your P-Card profile (if applicable). Refer to the Modifying Profile Settings in the CU Marketplace job aid for more details.
