Invoices are to be created using the Accounts Receivable (A/R) subsystem available within the UNMC Management Resources on-line application. Billers using the system submit their invoice detail online, assign a cost object and G/L account to the invoice for deposit purposes (posting to SAP), and attach supporting documentation as needed for the customer to process/remit payment to UNMC.<br />

'''Exceptions''' - As mentioned above, the A/R subsystem is not designed for internal (on campus) or intercampus charges. Examples would include UNMC departments billing each other (Phone Charges, Copy Charges, Dietary Tickets, etc.) and intercampus charges (UNO, UNL, UNK, etc.). Transactions that can be accounted for solely within SAP via journal entry are not applicable to the intent of what is invoiced via the A/R subsystem.<br />
<br />
<br />
Other specific invoicing requirements may render the A/R subsystem not applicable/efficient for use. For example, contractual terms may require wording, terminologies, etc. that are unworkable with the current invoice template. These exceptions will be reviewed on a case by case basis by the Controller & Finance Cashier’s Offices.<br />

Billers can obtain access to the A/R subsystem with a request to the [mailto:accountsreceivable@unmc.edu Finance Cashier’s Office]. Once accessed, billers can enter customer and contact information for invoicing purposes, with the ability to then submit invoicing details to approved customer/contacts. Administered by the Finance Cashier’s Office, the subsystem is monitored daily for newly entered customers and contacts. In addition, they review, generate, and mail submitted invoices as instructed by billers. <br />
