Accounting String Requirements for other UC Campuses

As a general rule, departments that are charging other UC campuses shouldn’t need an understanding of the other school’s account string. When the department asks the other campus for their account info, the department should simply copy and paste whatever the other campus provides into the KFS ICT document. It’s the other campus’ responsibility to ensure that the account info that they provide meets the requirements of their accounting system.
