Every financial transaction must be tagged with a Project, Task, Award, and Expenditure Type (PTAE).
The PTAE is required for all procurement, expense claims and recruitment requests, the PTAE is used for reporting, budgeting and forecasting to provide information to budget holders across UCL to support the financial management of the institution.
It is also used in the production of reports to statutory, regulatory and funding bodies. The PTAE rules (known as transaction controls) are there to prevent people from entering transactions which are against the rules, some of which are imposed by our funders and other regulatory bodies, and some of which are generally accepted good practice in accounting. You may find more information in the PTAE pages of UCL Finance and Business Affairs.
The PTAE can be check on the MyFinance Project Validator found on the MyFinance system.
As all staff have access to MyFinance for expense claims and iProcurement security is allocated against individual projects, in order to be granted access to project please contact your local finance contact who can advise how access can be granted.
The project codes for you department can be found below, please note once a funder end date is reached you can no longer process transactions against the project, if you feel any end dates are incorrect please contact the ICTM Finance Team.
