Interdepartmental Orders

Interdepartmental orders are those which we send funds to another department.

  • Ask the receiving department their dept number or use the search function.

 

Include a description.

  • In the description box, include a contact name and number with any other information you want to include.

  • For Tech Connect orders, include the quote number.

 

Fill in the accounting information.

  • Debiting our account

    • In the Accounting/Project field enter our account #

    • Choose the Natural Account.

    • in the line description enter what you would like to appear on your budget statement

    • In the debit field enter the total amount of the quote (You may split the cost between multiple accounts by entering multiple lines.)

  • On the next line, add the account information for the account to be credited. Add the same amount in the credit column.

    • For Tech Connect orders, do not make a line entry for their credit; TC will handle this.

When complete, click the Send to Service Org button.

Departmental Corrections

We mostly use departmental corrections to bill other departments for diploma tubes and covers.

  • Choose the Departmental Correction EIT type.

  • Enter the effective date (pay mind to the fiscal year)

  • Enter the description: “Billing for diploma tubes/covers. XX tubes used X $10 per tube = $XXXX tubes total. XX covers used X $12 per cover = $XXXX covers total. Overall total: $XXXX.” Copy this text to the clipboard. Tab.

  • On the first line, enter the Account number of the department billed. Use the lookup button to identify the Natural Account [?]. Paste from the clipboard into the Line Description. Enter the amount billed in the DEBIT field.

  • On the second line, enter our Account number [?]. Paste from the clipboard into the Line Description. Enter the amount billed - the amount coming to us - in the CREDIT field.

  • Click validate to make sure the credits and debits balance. Submit.

 

Ordering via Technology Connection

  • Before submitting an EIT to Technology Connection, request a quote at tcorders@tulane.edu.
