AR Partnership with the RSC

We are excited to announce that Accounts Receivable (AR) has partnered with the RIT Service Center (RSC)! This collaboration means that users can now find AR-specific knowledge articles and helpful information through the RSC portal.

What does this change mean for you?

The RSC is now your primary contact for AR-related inquiries including:

How to gain access to the receivables responsibilities in Oracle
How to view, add, or change your customer information
How to view, create, print, or adjust your invoices
How to pull receivables reporting from Oracle to manage your outstanding invoices

IMPORTANT: AR credit memos or adjustments to invoices must be submitted through the RSC self-service portal. PDF copies of the form will no longer be accepted. Links to the request forms are below.
