A field number is a custom worktag used by AES to assist in their USDA reporting needs and by Athletics to assist in their USDA and NCAA reporting needs.

AES field numbers are assigned to a driver worktag for use in AES’s USDA reporting. Athletics field numbers are assigned to Athletics Department Detail worktags. Usage is restricted to these purposes.

AES field numbers are a default related worktag for all AES driver worktags (Grant, Gift, Project, and Program). Athletics field numbers are a default related worktag for Athletics Department Detail worktags.

Each field number is given a unique name that describes its purpose and is meaningful for those who use it.

Field numbers are not assembled into a hierarchy structure.

Any Workday user can request a new field number by submitting a New Field Number request through Workday. Visit the FDM Workday Requests and Updates page for more information on this process. Your request is routed to AES or Athletics, as appropriate, for review and approval.

Visit the Worktag Inactivation Procedures page for guidance on how to request worktag inactivation.
