FINDING ACCOUNTS

There are two ways to find account numbers, depending on what information you want.  

1)  If you know the account number and want to see a "long description," please log on to PeopleSoft production.  Then click on Go, then Use, then Account, then Description.  Enter the account number and click OK.  This will show the long description.  If you want to see another just click on the blue check mark.

2) If you do not know the account number, you may want to use the web search method:  Go to http://www.uh.edu/finance/ then References then FRS Account Control and Subcode to PeopleSoft Account.  Leave all defaults, enter part of the description (be it a word or phrase), then click Start Search.  You will see a list to choose from and you may want a deeper explanation.  If this is the case, use step 1 search method.
