for teams who enter their own service orders into the PCR-360 billing system
PCR-360 is the web application that OIT uses to bill campus and external customers for service. This tutorial is intended 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)
