PeopleSoft ChartFields
Overview
General Ledger
• Official record of University’s budgeting and
financial transactions
• Includes budget and revenue/expense
transactions, encumbrances, assets, liabilities
and fund balances
• FRS: maintains balance sheet information in
General Ledger, revenue/expense transactions
in Subsidiary Ledger
• PeopleSoft: maintains all in single ledger
ChartFields
• Used to classify accounting information in
PeopleSoft
• Nine ChartFields allow for reporting
transaction details
• Multiple ChartFields allow finer level of
detail for reporting purposes
How Does This New
Structure Affect You?
• If you process, reconcile, review, or analyze
financial data, you need to be familiar with
ChartFields and how your FRS accounts
and subcodes map to the new ChartFields.
• Certain ChartFields are required on every
transaction.
FRS/Chartfield
Crosswalk
• Translation program to convert accounting
information in FRS to PeopleSoft General
Ledger
• Initially all accounting information will be
entered into FRS and converted into
PeopleSoft ChartFields
• Eventually all accounting information will
be created in PeopleSoft

A tree is a name of a hierarchy or reporting structure in PeopleSoft.
A node summarizes a group of ChartField values or other nodes that logically belong together for reporting
purposes.
A leaf defines a Detail Value attached to a node. It can be an individual ChartField value or a range of
ChartField values. All detail values must roll up to a node.
