When an external customer provides a PO for addition to iLab, please send the copy to [email protected] for application to the customer's lab account. Please keep in mind that an external PO is meant to provide information for the customer's accounts payable department only. Ultimately, the customer will need to submit payment via check or wire transfer, if the customer requests AR information, please refer them to this link: http://tiny.ucsf.edu/PayiLab

For IOC or fellow UC customers, please provide the customer with the IOC submission form linked here: IOC Form

Once submitted, the IOC information will be added as a 'standing PO' and available for the customer or the core to select as a payment method. Invoices containing an IOC will be handled by RRP central billing by conducting a transfer from the UC customer to the core recharge account.

Click on the left-hand side menu and go to “Invoices” search by adding the digits after CM0-. Example: CM0-12345, use 12345 in the search bar.

If you are a lab user or P.I/Lab manager please contact the core directly to request a refund.

If you are a core administrator please fill out the refund request form here.

At month close, which is typically (but not always) the 2nd business day of the following month, the designated central biller will generate all billing events that are in a Pending Review status.  

UCSF iLab is integrated with PeopleSoft to automatically upload speedtypes which are valid and assigned to a PI owner in PeopleSoft. Common reasons why speedtypes may not be visible in iLab:

1. 1. Project ID is expired in PeopleSoft (The project ID is equal to the speedtype expiration date shown in iLab) 
   2. Gladstone speed type
   3. REAC/RAP speed type
   4. Shared gift
   5. Department overhead speed type

If the speedtype you need to use falls under one of the 5 categories below, please send a request to [email protected] to have it added to the system manually.
