| We have two kinds of Interdepartmental Billing (IDB) Units, Stand Alone and Miscellaneous. The following chart summarizes characteristics of both types. NOTE: These are generalizations and may not always apply. |
| Stand Alone Units | Miscellaneous Units |
|---|---|
|
|
All other departments (Any department can be an IDB Unit) |
| Process their own IBFs and therefore have their own batch reference. Refer to section 16.70 for a complete list of batch references. IDBs are marked with an asterisk(*). | IBFs are processed by Financial Services Office and the batch reference is MIS (Miscellaneous Unit). | Can only use certain object codes. The object codes available for use with each Stand Alone IDB unit are listed by Batch Reference in (section 11.71) | Can use any appropriate object code - section 5. |
May post transaction directly into FRS or have Separate Subsystems that feed into FRS, for example:
Example: Telecommunications keeps track of your department's phone charges. Each month they send you a detailed listing of the calls that were made by your department. The total is fed to FRS. So when you review your FRS report, you will see the total charged, not each individual call. |
Post transactions directly into FRS. |
