Accounts Receivable Invoice Systems

The Student & University Billing Office offers training sessions for the departmental creators (preparer of the invoice) and the departmental approver (approval authority) for access privileges to our two non-departmental invoice systems: Online Invoice System and Stratus AR. The Online Invoice System is used to invoice students and certain, student-related organizations for miscellaneous charges. The Stratus AR system is used to invoice most organizations and non-student persons.

Each department requires two individuals to use the system (a Creator and an Approver). Once the creator and approver have completed the mandatory training for the necessary invoicing system, full access to use the system will be authorized.

There are a few easy steps to sign up for either a creator or approver training session. Our training series takes place in Enrollment Services room 306, or via Webex.

  • Appoint one person to be the primary contact and coordinator for your department. Preferably the department head.
  • Identify a creator who will prepare the invoices for your department and identify the approver who will review the prepared invoice and approve it.
  • Security authorization forms for the creator, approver and the item types/memo lines to be utilized by your department will need to be completed and submitted to the Student & University Billing Office for processing and security and department profile set up.
  • A training date cannot be set up for the creator or the approver until the security authorization forms are completed and submitted to  in the Student & University Billing Office (Enrollment Services room 321, x4-4603 or fax x4-2884.

A convenient training date will be confirmed with you by the Student & University Billing Office once your security forms have been submitted and processed within the appropriate invoice system.

For questions regarding all security forms or inquiries about your training date, please contact at x4-4603.
