How do charges from Animal Vendors work?
• The Animal Resources office requires the appropriate account number at the time of ordering animals. A signature is required on the animal order authorizing the use of the IACUC protocol number and the FAS account number. Vendors generally charge for animals that arrive in December in the month of January. The DAR signs off on these invoices and forwards them to Accounts Payable. After the orders are ‘closed’ each month by running the billing, the Invoice information is reconciled in a database with the animal order in order to provide summary documentation to you. Therefore, animal vendor charges are generally available approximately 10-14 days after the close of the billing month. (December order information will be summarized and mailed around Feb. 21st).
