Definition of accounts receivable
"Accounts receivable" refers to the revenue brought into UCSD through the billing process for services or supplies that UCSD departments provide to outside entities.
Departments work with University Billing Services (UBS), a unit within Student Business Services, to enter these charges into UCSD's central records system, ISIS (which is linked to IFIS), and to monitor account status.
