 The Central Accounts Receivable department provides a web-based billing and collection system for local units wishing to bill “external” customers.

 If you are interested in billing through Central AR, please complete the [Transaction Type Setup/Maintenance Request Form ](/file_url/187)and submit to [ar\_setup@harvard.edu](mailto:ar_setup@harvard.edu).

 If you have questions as to whether billing through Central AR is right for you or on how to complete the setup form, please send an email to [ar\_customers@harvard.edu](mailto:ar_customers@harvard.edu) and someone will reach out to you shortly.

 **"External" customers include:**

- Harvard affiliated individuals who pay for services or goods using their own funds rather than those of the University
- Non-affiliated individuals, corporations, universities, and hospitals that purchase goods and services from the University

 Oracle Receivables is part of the Oracle Financial package, which includes General Ledger, Accounts Payable/Web Voucher and Budget Tool.

 **Using Oracle Receivables, local billing units at Harvard can:**

- Create invoices and credit memos
- Answer invoice related customer inquiries
- Run AR reports to help track departmental receivables
- Record and schedule collection activities

 Central AR is not used to bill actively enrolled students. Local units needing to bill actively enrolled students should contact the [Student Financial Services](http://sfs.harvard.edu/) office for instructions. Central AR does not process interdepartmental billings, which are processed by journal vouchers.
