"Helpful Look-ups"—Tools That Match Codes to Descriptions

Search for administrative codes and their descriptions, using “Helpful Look-Ups.” Available in both the NIH Data Warehouse and nVision, these tools include the following:

• Common Accounting Numbers (CAN)


• Nature of Action Codes (NOAC)


• NBRSS Project Numbers


• NBRSS Standard General Ledger Codes


• NBRSS Transaction Codes


• CAN and ACS information


• Nodes


• Object Class Codes


• Organization Codes


• Property Classification codes and Manufacturer codes


• Vendors

These tools are available in both the nVision Community of the NIH Portal and in the NIH Data Warehouse Data Town under the section "Helpful Look-ups." Simply enter a code to get a report that displays the code description and other valuable information about that code. See other articles in this issue on the launch of nVision Travel and the DWQuery upgrade.
