RE: Reminder: Updated UCPath COA Display Order

This is a reminder that on Tuesday, December 13, UCPath was updated to display the current COA chartfields in a new order that more closely reflects the new Common Chart of Accounts (CCOA). This change was made in preparation for UCOP’s deployment of the CCOA across all UC campuses.

It’s important to note that the functionalities of the current chartfields did not change. There are no changes to the types of information that are inputted in each segment; the only difference is the order in which they are entered and displayed on the pages. 

The impacted UCPath pages include:

  • Funding Entry

  • Funding Inquiry

  • Salary Cap/MCOP Worksheet

  • Salary Cost Transfers

The chartfields on these pages, as well as both historical and new transactions, have been reordered to match the standard:
