In today’s askBUY.IU newsletter, we were provided the following reminder:
Reconciling a conference or workshop P-Card charge? Chrome River automatically assigns object codes to transactions based on the supplier. In many cases, payments to organizations, such as the American Heart Association, are automatically mapped to object code 5050, Membership Fees Dues. Update these transactions to reflect object code 4013, Conference & Workshops, instead.
Object code 5050 is used to report lobbying activity to the Government Relations Office and ensures transparency in IU’s business dealings. Inappropriate use of object code 5050 skews the information reported.
If you have any questions please contact Kathleen Pizana at kpizana@iusb.edu.
