Accounts Receivable and Billing (ARB)

Overview

Two modules, Accounts Receivable and Billing (ARB), allow the University to bill, record, and track payments for sponsored research and centralized general receivables. The M-Pathways ARB modules replace the legacy central Accounts Receivable system.

The M-Pathways ARB modules improve the University's cash flow by reducing invoicing time. They also integrate with other M-Pathways financial modules, resulting in improved reporting capabilities. The ARB modules provide new and enhanced reports for those departments receiving revenue from sponsored research and/or from general receivable activity.

ARB Presentations and Report Samples

Two presentations and report sample packages describe the benefits of the ARB modules and illustrate the type of ARB report information you can obtain. The report samples are numbered and highlighted to match the explanation of the report in the presentation.

If you receive revenue from sponsored research:
The Accounts Receivable and Billing (Sponsored) presentation, along with the ARB Sponsored report samples, explains the ARB modules using Project/Grant examples.

If you receive revenue from general receivables:
The Accounts Receivable and Billing (Department) presentation, along with the ARB Department report samples, describes the ARB modules using Fund/Department/Program examples.

Within MAIS, the Accounts Receivable and Billing (ARB) modules are supported by the Financial Systems Division.
