PCR-360 is the web application used by OIT 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 to PCR-360 and OIT billing

  • PCR-360 is developed by PCR, administered by the ICAT team, using virtual servers managed by the LAP team

  • The SMO team manages billing for OIT: if you need help, feel free to ask Brent Emerson or call 5-INDY (Indy Johnson)

  • OIT billing periods end on the 20th of every month (21st of last month - 20th of this month)

    • The SMO team generates a bill in PCR-360 around the ~22nd-24th of the month

    • The PCR-360 bill is imported into Banner overnight

    • Banner JVs post on the ~23rd-31st of the month

Create a service order

You use a service order to add charges that should be billed to a particular customer. (Create a new service order for each index code you want to bill charges to.)

First head to https://pcr360.tel.pdx.edu/ and log in via SSO.

Navigate to Main (blue) tab > Service Desk > Service Orders:

To create a new service order, click the green + Add button (green):

This brings up the Add New Service Order dialog:

Add New Service Order

Enter your service details:

  • SD Type: Service Order (should auto-populate)

  • Source: Web (should auto-populate)

  • Service Rep: this is you! (should auto-populate)

  • Description: something to identify this one-time charge or recurring service fee to the service that was provided, for instance:

    • Jira ticket #

    • Team-internal quote/project/billing code that your customer will recognize

    • Identifying details, dates, etc.

  • Owner - Department: Enter the index code you want to bill

    • If PCR doesn’t recognize the index code and populate the Owner - Department field, contact Indy

GLA (General Ledger Account) tab

Switch to the GLA tab, and verify the index code you entered appears in the main box with 100% allocation.

Copy and paste the populated GLA into Default Action Expense GLA box:

Charges tab

Switch to the Charges tab and click the + Add button (green) to add a Charge

Add New Service Desk Charges

  • Charge Action: Start

  • Charge Catalog: Select the type of charge, likely to be one of these:

    • AVEVENT - AV Event Services (Nonrecurring)

    • AVD-LABOR - AV Design Staff Time (Nonrecurring)

    • AVD-MATERIALS - AV Design Materials (Nonrecurring)

  • Charge Amount:

    • should show per unit rate for hourly or other quantified services: set the Quantity to the number of units you want to bill for; Total should auto-calculate $$ you want to bill

    • will default to $0.00 for non-quantified services; enter actual charge amount in Charge Override Amount box

  • Save New

(Repeat to add all charges related to this project/event/service instance.)

Finalize Service Order

  • Change Status: Pending → Complete (Save)

  • Change Status: Complete → Finalize (Save)

    • Enter billing date: Today, or the date service was rendered, but always some date within the current billing period (21st-20th of each month)

You may copy the service order number and paste it into a Jira ticket or record it elsewhere.

You’re done!

Search for a service order

  • Navigate to Main (blue) tab > Service Desk > Service Orders

  • Enter service order number into Search or Filter the Grid Data field

View a customer bill

Head to the PCR Customer Center: https://pcr360.tel.pdx.edu/cc (This is the interface used by Technology Coordinators to view their department’s bill.)

Navigate to Billing > View bill

Enter the index code whose bill you want to view into the Charge Account field.
