Progressive Billing of Project Work Orders

Beginning with the June Statement of Account (SOA), ITCS/ITCom will bill all Project Work Orders on a monthly basis. The June billing will include charges for the June billing cycle and any unbilled charges from previous months. Starting with the July billing, all labor, materials and one time charges for projects will be billed in the billing cycle in which they occurred. The chart below explains how and when the billing will occur.

SOA Billing Cycle What Charges Will Be Billed?
May April 20-May 19 Labor, Materials, and One Time Charges for all Project Work Orders completed, closed, and billed during the billing cycle.
June May 20-June 19 All unbilled Labor, Materials, and One Time Charges on open Project Work Orders (this includes charges incurred or applied from the date the order was opened until June 19).
All unbilled Labor, Materials, and One Time Charges on Project Work Orders closed during the billing cycle.
July June 20-July 19 Labor, Materials, and One Time Charges incurred or applied from June 20 to July 19 on all open Project Work Orders or orders closed during the billing cycle.
All Future Months Day 20-Day 19 Labor, Materials, and One Time Charges for Project Work Orders will be billed in the billing cycle in which they are incurred or applied. Equipment charges for special order items will be applied when the order is placed with the vendor.

Previously, Project Work Orders were not billed until the order was completed and closed. This new billing structure will provide units with more timely billing.

To help departments track and reconcile their monthly project billing, we have also modified our auto e-mails so that on the 20th of each month, the Department ID Manager and order contact will see a month-by-month accounting of all labor, materials and one time charges billed to-date. A final e-mail will also be sent when the project is closed that includes a summary of all charges.

If you have any questions concerning this new billing update, please feel free to contact the ITCom Billing Group at (734-76)3-2000 and choose option 3. You may also e-mail the Billing Group at itcombill@umich.edu.
