What Banner FIS calls Index Codes are called GLAs (“General Ledger Accounts”) by PCR-360
What Banner FIS calls Organizations are called Departments by PCR-360
Billing Groups are an OIT/Telecom invention in PCR-360 that classifies aspects of University operations based on how they’re funded (so we can charge different rates for some services):
E&G means Education & General Funded, more precisely activities that are related to budgeted operations of the University (the specific Fund-based logic is described below)
JV (“Journal Voucher”) means Service & Grant Funded, more precisely everything that’s not E&G
CASH means cash customers, entities that are not part of the University (retail customers)
Telephone service is billed differently for E&G vs. JV vs. CASH customers, so it’s important to classify the usage of each service by billing group, which we do based on the fund classification of the index code that’s paying for it. However, non-telephone services generally bill everyone at the same price no matter which billing group they’re in.
