Bills are based on 30/31 day months ending the 20th: 21st of last month - 20th of this month. This is the service/billing period.
Shortly after the 20th, PCR bills are generated based on the just-closed billing period, including all charges dated inside it.
The PCR export is imported automatically into Banner the night after bill generation. There are sometimes errors (mostly expired index codes) which are repaired manually before re-importing.
The date of the successful Banner import (generally any day between the 21st and last business day of the calendar month) becomes the date on the JV in Banner.
Banner JVs are visible to fiscal officers; PCR invoices are available to TCs via PCR login.
Cash customer bills are manually created and sent by email each month shortly after the PCR bill generation.
Rebilled vendor charges (Adobe Sign e-signature, 800 Numbers, Expanded Conference Calling) are billed to customers one month late, since they’re imported into PCR during the 1st-20th of the month after a calendar month of service (Adobe Sign) or after the vendor bill arrives (others), and processed/JV'd normally later that month. So transactions for the calendar month of August would generally be imported and PCR-dated some time in September (1-20) and JV dated later in September.
