The syntax of Department-issued synthetic UEIs is as follows: "O**XXXXXX###" (where ** is the 2 letter code of the State that requested the temporary UEI). Example: OCAXXXXXX001. Note, some entities also created their own synthetic UEIs to enable submission of the APR, and these synthetic UEIs may or may not follow the same syntax described above.

Subgrantees that had not previously existed or registered to receive federal moneys did not therefore have DUNS numbers, and were provided synthetic DUNS numbers to enable submission. The syntax of Department-issued synthetic DUNS numbers is as follows: "999999###". Example: 999999001. Note, some entities also created their own synthetic DUNS numbers to enable submission of the APR, and these synthetic DUNS numbers may or may not follow the same syntax described above.

Therefore, expenditures are not consistently reported across all grantees and subgrantees, but are consistently reported across reporting years by each grantee and subgrantee.  In terms of data, two entities pursuing different accounting methodologies could legitimately report purchases made the same day as expenditures in different reporting periods, for example.
