Recharges and Costed Central Activities

Questions? Contact Accounting and Reporting

Overview

Recharges occur when approved units provide internal services and are tracked via journals in PeopleSoft.

Recharges and central costed activities occur when one unit of the University provides services that benefit other units internally. These activities may be specifically identifiable based on usage such as expenses for off-site storage, or generally in support of a shared resource such as information technology. Only units approved by Budget and Resource Management may use recharges and distribution of central costed activities.

See How to Prepare, Edit, and Submit Recharge Journals in PeopleSoft (Source Code 555) and Journal Entry Flat File Submission Process for detailed instructions on how to prepare recharge journals.  Refer to the list of Recharge Source Codes and Contacts if you have questions about a particular recharge transaction.
