USNH Financial Services Policies and Procedures

02 - 022 General Coding Conventions

General Coding Conventions

  • All funds have 6 characters

  • Character value, see full description below:

    • Campus designation in first character.
    • Fund type designation in second character.
    • Third character is campus designated
  • For sponsored programs funds, the second and third character provide recognition of the sponsor (See Procedure 02-023 Â̾ÞÈËÊÓƵ Grant Fund Coding Conventions for more details).
  • Be mindful that sort sequence will advantage/disadvantage users when using desktop applications (Excel) to manipulate down loaded data.
  • Try to avoid data entry gremlins such as:
    • # 0 vs. letter O
    • # 1 vs. I vs. letter l
    • E as the only character in the code, meaning all the other elements in the code are numeric (Excel thinks this is an exponential number)
  • Thorough coding conventions, enable efficient Banner look-ups/queries (use of % for wildcarding)
