What is a RET? • An “internal” transactions between two of the below entities: • Associated Students, Inc. • CSUCI - Campus • Foundation • Financing Authority • Site Authority • University Glen Corporation
RETvs. Invoice / Check Request • The RET is an “internal” transaction • An “external” transaction is between one of the previously mentioned six (6) entities and an outside customer • If “external,” the originally established business process will continue (i.e. the issuance of an invoice or check request)
Examples of Use • The RET is used to process: • Banquet Event Orders • Monthly Administrative Charges • Photocopying/Photocopying/Postage Charges • Grant and Contract Transactions • Student Fee Reimbursements • Reimbursed Activities (ZZ Funds)
Why Create the RET? • Created as a tracking form that will be sent to each entity whereas the transaction can be recorded on the financial ledger of each entity • Will ensure that all entities have the transactions recorded at the same time, during the same month, and for the same amount
