Service Department Billing Policy

Section I

Purpose

To provide guidelines to be followed each month for service departments turning in billing reports.

Section II

Procedure

Costs for using copy machines, postage, printing, University vehicles, and other central services are charged automatically to "travel accounts" or "operating accounts" at the end of each month.

Questions or problems regarding the account number to which a service department charge is made should be directed to the Assistant Controller of Business Affairs at extension 3016. Questions concerning the amount of charges, supporting detail, or the service itself should be directed to the department providing the service.

It is important that departments anticipate charges that are made for the final months of the fiscal year (May and June) to be sure that sufficient funds are available to cover them. Service departments are responsible for maintenance of data detail supporting their charges.
