Assignment of Project Identification and Project Accounting Numbers


See document history

Purpose and Goal

To provide guidelines for the establishment of a uniform process to assign unique Project Identification Numbers to track project activities and the full project cost from concept to completion and also to provide for creation of Project Accounting Numbers for transmittal of Project data to the Office of Accounting.
  1. Project Number

    1.1. The Project Identification Number (PI#) will be a unique seven-digit identifier assigned by
           the Office of Programming. The assigned PI# will have no information imbedded within it
           and will only be used to reference information about the project in the current BIGFILE
           Database and in the future Transportation Information System (TIS) database.

    1.2. The Project Accounting Number will be a unique ten-digit number with imbedded
           intelligence, to cross-reference the project to the Project Identification Number. This will
           allow tracking of project costs from inception to close out. It will consist of three
           characters indicating the proposed project fund source at the time of project creation
           followed by the first four-digits of the PI#, then two 00 followed by the last three-digits of
           the PI# i.e. STP-011200(211). Once assigned the Project Accounting Number will not
           change throughout the life of the project even though the project fund source may.

    1.3. The Office of Programming will create and assign both the Project Accounting and the
           Project Identification numbers through the use of an electronic number generator, which is
           programmed to follow the rules regarding project identification outlined in 1.2 above.

    1.4. The Office of Programming will maintain a reference table to link the Project Identification
           Numbers with Project Accounting Numbers and make the table electronically available for
           use by Department personnel.

  2. Uses of the Project Identification Number

    2.1. The use of the Project Identification Number vs. the Project Accounting Number should not
           be construed to be an "either/or" situation but will be used in conjunction with each other
           as required. By entering either number into the Transportation Information System (TIS)
           database users will be able to retrieve or review project information.

  3. Requirements of Use

    3.1. Project Identification Number will be used to identify projects on documents and
           correspondence requiring project identification. The Project Accounting Number
           must be used in addition if the document involves budgets.

    3.2. The Project Accounting Number must be used, in addition to the Project Identification
           Number, on documents that involve budget activity including the following documents:
