UW Health Chart of Accounts

Company 

Identifies the entities that make up UWH and produce separate financial statements.

Building

Identifies a building, location or facility, Oracle uses the street address as the description of the building. 

Account 

Identifies the type of transaction (travel, recruitment, supplies etc.) 

Cost Center

Identifies a division or unit.

Mission

Identifies type of expense. 

Fund

Fund is most often blank. Your finance contact will let you know when it is appropriate to use a fund number. 

Provider ID

Identifies the specific provider who the expense for. When entering an expense as a physician professional expense, Oracle requires a provider number, this is how professional funds are identified and tracked.

For the most up to date listing of providers use this file on u-Connect: Chart of Account Oracle Values/Hierarchy.

Payor / Inter Company / Future1 / Future2 

These parts of the coding string are not currently used - Oracle does require them to be populated with zeros.

Oracle Coding for Expenses

When entering an expense into Oracle you will notice that the coding string is prepopulated. This is driven by the HR record for that individual. 

Example: the HR record for a Cardiovascular person would be defined by the Cost Center 5930040.

Why Oracle Picks an Account 

All coding in Oracle is driven by which template you choose when entering an expense.
