Your comment about institutions being messy is my experience. I was once involved with a project involving bringing together three arms of government under one HR / Payroll system. Each arm insisted on retaining its own expense categories - IIRC this led to “Parking (multi storey)”, “Car Parking (multi storey)” and “Parking (Off Street)”. Login credentials could filter the presented categories, but it made the system work a lot harder than it needed to.
