PCR-360 is the web application that OIT uses to bill campus and external customers for service. This tutorial was written for teams who handle their own billing in PCR-360, to introduce you to the basic mechanics of entering service orders to trigger one-time or recurring billing for services provided by your team.
Introduction
OIT billing periods end on the 20th of every month; bills are actually generated on ~22nd-24th and Banner JVs post ~23rd-31st
PCR-360 is administered by the ICAT team, using virtual servers managed by the LAP team
SMO team manages billing for OIT: if you need help, feel free to ask Brent Emerson or call 5-INDY (Indy Johnson)
