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 into approval workflow. Shoppers have the option to enter this information but are not required to do so.
If ChartString information is not complete, you must enter it before checking out. If you created default values in your Profile (refer to the Modifying Profile Settings in the CU Marketplace job aid), those values will be populated with that information.

You have the option to split the ChartString distribution to add additional lines and indicate a percent or dollar amount for each line.
