Most users of the Integrated System will not see the Chart of Accounts structure at all. They will build charging instructions from the Lists of Values in PTAEO. Their choices in PTAEO are mapped to the COA as shown:

Projects in PTAEO are the same in the COA. There is a one-to-one mapping of Projects in PTAEO to Projects in the COA.
Awards in PTAEO are mapped to the COA Fund Source as many-to-one (many Awards to one Fund Source).
Expenditure Types in PTAEO are mapped to the COA Object Code as many-to-one (many Expenditure Types to one Object Code).
Orgs in PTAEO are the same in the COA. There is a one-to-one mapping of Orgs in PTAEO to Orgs in the COA.

Note: If you also use the Grants Management module you will need to understand which elements of PTAEO map to the COA. This will help you understand the information in various financial reports and in tasks related to reconciliation.
