Voyager and PaperCut Billing Feed

When is this service available

The first part of the billing feed is run via automated processes on each Tuesday.  The creation of reports from the billing run is done each Wednesday.  For PaperCut billing, the submission of charges is done manually every other Thursday and reports are run on the next day.

 

Priority level for this service

Maintaining the billing feed is a high priority for Library IT.  Changes, bug fixes, or other issues are addressed during normal Library IT business hours (M-F, 8:30-5:00) and take precedent over lower priority issues.

 

How to report a problem

If you believe there is an issue with the billing feeds please log a ticket with the IT Help Desk.  Please describe the problem and include examples if possible.

Description

The billing transmits Voyager fine/fee data and PaperCut billing data to Banner.  After  AITS processes each billing file, they produce reports on Document Direct.  We download these reports and run further scripts to reconcile rejected fines and produce reports summarizing the transactions.

 

Who can use this service

The billing feeds are routinely run by Help Desk staff.
