Restricted Research Projects can only be used to invoice the project sponsor. If billing to an outside customer is required, a general research account can be used for such invoicing. An official University of Alberta invoice must be sent and any funds received will be subject to 30% Indirect Costs of Research (ICR).
When sending external billing requests please ensure to have the following info completed on the External Sale Request Form:
Customer name, address, and a contact email.
SpeedCode, account code, and the amount.
Supporting back-up, depending on the type service offered (e.g., a log for screening visits and a base cost per unit).
Once completed, please submit external billing requests to finance at pfnrsch@ualberta.ca.
Internal sales include revenue from fee-for-services activities and from the sale of products to other University of Alberta units in exchange for the fee/price determined by the selling unit. This revenue is processed within the same month as the service or product that has been provided.
Each selling unit must provide the Finance department with a standard cost justification of all selling activity in order for an internal sale to be processed.
For all internal sales, please complete the Internal Sale Request Form, and submit to Finance at pfnrsch@ualberta.ca.
Internal sales are processed at the end of each month for the Department of Pediatrics. You can email pfnrsch@ualberta.ca to determine when the internal sale form must be submitted.
