This article will provide guidance on how to find a default Project for your FinUnit.  If your department does not use Oracle Projects, you can use the default Project which is auto-generated for your Financial Unit (FinUnit). 

Critical Concepts

• In the Oracle Projects module, departments can search for their default Projects using their FinUnit number
• For this process you will need the UCSD PPM Project Inquiry & Reporting role
• All recharge operations will be conducted using Projects
  
  • This means that if your department is a customer of a recharge service, you will be required to supply a Project Number and Task Number
• For default Projects, typically, Task 1 is used for recharge activities and Task 2 is reserved for payroll expenses from UCPath
• Alternatively, you can use the Project COA Lookup Report
