Use this chooser whenever you are looking up a Cost Center across all of the SAGE Suite except for SAGE Budget<\/a>, Advances<\/a>, and Awards<\/a>, which use a type-ahead style search.<\/p>\n

These images show the Cost Center Receiving Funding section and the chooser window that will follow.<\/p>\n

\"Cost<\/p>\n

There are two ways to look up your Cost Center:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you know the Cost Center ID, you can enter it in the text box and select the Search<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n
  2. Entering text found in the name of your Cost Center. Note: The system will not allow you to select a code above the department level.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can use the Cancel<\/strong> link, or the X<\/strong> in the upper right corner, to return to the page you were on without completing the search process.<\/p>\n

    1. Search by Cost Center ID\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    You must enter the full alpha-numeric ID of your Cost Center when using this option.<\/p>\n

    2. Search by Cost Center Name\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Enter text found in the name of your Cost Center. Search results will display exact matches of the text entered in alphabetical order. In the example below, the text of “CAS” was searched to list all Cost Centers for the College of Arts and Sciences. Any Cost Center ID that is at the department level or below has a link. Click the Cost Center ID link to make your selection.<\/p>\n

    To reset the hierarchy back to the initial display, use the Clear Selection(s)<\/strong> link.<\/p>\n
