What is PTAEO?
A unique chart string that is used to:

Record sponsored-project financial
transactions

Specify details about transactions

Report on transactions

Allocate and track sponsored-project
budgets

Why not just use the GL?
Budgeting, transacting, and reporting require a
different accounting approach for grants.

5 segments separated by periods make a PTAEO string
Each segment represents a different piece of information
Total of 24 characters in a PTAEO string
Every transaction must have a complete PTAEO string
One PTAEO string represents all of the information about a
particular transaction
No hierarchies or range values with PTAEO

Attention Grant Managers!

Project dates set up within
OGA will enforce existing
policies of spending within
project start and end dates by
blocking expenditures with an
expenditure item date that
does not fall between the start
and end dates.
www.dartmouth.edu/~osp
Attention Grant Managers!

Submit project documents (cost
transfers, budget templates,
attribute changes, SPUD,
journals) to OSP via a new allinclusive e-mail account:
[email protected]
www.dartmouth.edu/~osp
What OGA is Checking For

Mandate valid PTAEO string
combinations
 Transaction date that falls
between the start and end dates
of the Project, Task, or Award
 Project status that allows
transactions
 Award status that allows
transactions
