IMPORTANT - Change to the iLab billing process
by Cox, Erica L 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Greetings, This email is a notification of upcoming changes to the billing process in iLab. As we have continued to implement iLab, we have looked for ways to improve upon our processes to make things more simplified and automated in the system. One way that we intend to improve processes is to implement a new invoice approval step for PIs and business offices. Implementing this will also allow the facility managers and directors to 'touch' an iLab billing event one less time than they do today. Currently, the billing process consists of confirming usage and completing services, and then 5 business days later, creating and sending a billing file to Purdue. The new process will continue to require confirmation of usage and completion of services, as well as the creation of a billing event, but there will be no necessary time between the two events. Once usage is confirmed and services completed for a billing period, a facility manager can simply create the billing event and then send invoices to PIs. This will then trigger an email to each PI included in the billing, and they will then have 10 calendar days to make any changes to their account information before the billing event automatically is sent to Purdue's SAP system for posting. As a PI, this will be a significant change since today, you receive no billing email notification or approval from iLab. You can choose to review and approve the invoice(s) or allow your Business Offices to continue to review charges and make necessary adjustments to account assignments prior to the billing event being sent to SAP. If you desire to approve the invoice an instruction sheet outlining the steps to do so can be found here, on the Approve Invoice - PI Quick Reference Card<https://spa2010.itap.purdue.edu/Business/businessatpurdue/QRCs/Approve%20In…> (QRC). If you do not approve the charges, or find that they should be charged to an alternate account, the QRC also provides instructions on how to do so. All activity and billing periods revolve around a Recharge Center Billing Calendar FY 18<https://spa2010.itap.purdue.edu/Business/businessatpurdue/Documents/Recharg…>. This change will go into effect beginning with the August 14-August 31 Activity Period. What this means for you is that during the Core Review Period of September 1-5, facilities will begin sending invoices to PIs. Please note that even if an invoice is never approved, it will automatically be sent to SAP 10 calendar days after being created. If you have questions relating to this change, please email ilabhelp(a)purdue.edu<mailto:ilabhelp@purdue.edu>. ///////////////////////////////////////// Erica Cox Business Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center 1205 W.

Morgan Building, Room 121 for a High Performance Computing (HPC) forum hosted by Discovery Park. The purpose of this forum is to learn about key elements of a recent solicitation published by the National Science Foundation (NSF) aimed at building the next generation High Performance Computing platform. This will be a single NSF award delivered as a cooperative agreement totaling up to $60M procurement beginning in 2018. You can view the full program solicitation at https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2017/nsf17558/nsf17558.htm. In response to this solicitation, Purdue has submitted a letter of intent and will submit a proposal in November, 2017. Dr. Gerhard Klimeck, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Network for Computational Nanotechnology, is leading the effort. This forum will assist in the proposal development process by gathering audience input to refine the overall proposal strategy and to learn of current computational efforts happening on campus. This will be done during the forum through a series of short presentations by Purdue faculty and through a round table discussion with leading high performance computing experts -- audience Q&A and participation will be highly encouraged. Thank you for blocking your calendars for this important event. A detailed forum agenda is forthcoming. Please share with the appropriate faculty/staff within your centers.

Please share the following note within your centers. ______________________________________________________ Good morning, As many of you may know, Kris Swank was involved in a fatal automobile accident on Tuesday afternoon. Kris was a great member of our Discovery Park family and her beautiful smile and friendship will be greatly missed. Services will be held on Tuesday, August 8th, at St. Boniface Catholic Church, Lafayette. Visitation will be at 2pm with a mass following at 4pm. In lieu of flowers, we will be taking up a collection, which will be given to Kris' family. If any of you are interested in donating, I will have an envelope here in my office, MRGN 120G. Please keep Kris' family in your thoughts and prayers as they go through this difficult time. Best, Lisa Lisa Muncy Administrative Assistant Discovery Park Burton Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship 120 W. State Street , Room 120G W.
