Raising project codes and work orders

Why project codes and work orders are used

York has many departments and research is a big part of University life. However, the University also: organises studentships (both centrally and departmentally); maintains buildings; arranges workshops; invests in the estates development; collaborates with other international organisations and is given funding for specific projects from councils, government departments, private companies an other universities. These activities have their own income and expenditure.

Every department and cost centre within the University has to record this activity against a project code. Each project code has a budget and, depending on the source of funding, it may have several aspects to the award, fund or grant within the project, which then filters down to becoming work order(s).
