Bill Another U-M Unit

Contact Accounting Customer Service

Your unit may provide goods or services to another unit here at U-M; this can be classified as either Recharge or Rebill. These transactions should be billed using our Service Unit Billing (SUB) process.

Step 1:  Service Unit Billing Training Course

Departments are responsible for submitting the OARS access request for the PR SUB LOAD USER role. Prior to gaining access to process Service Unit Billings, you must complete the following course and pass the accompanying quiz. This online course is designed to provide the detailed information you will need to understand the Service Unit Billing process.

  • The Service Unit Billing Training can be found in MyLinc. This course is intended for new users to be eligible to bill another U-M unit for goods or services. This course ends with a graded quiz. You must pass the quiz with eight out of ten correct answers in order to be granted access in M-Pathways to process SUB transactions.

*Note that you will not have access until your Unit Liaison approves the access request.
