ACCOUNTING SERVICES UNC Account Request System Purpose: The UNC Account Request System is designed to request new accounts for the University and it s Associated Entities (Foundations). Please refer to page 6 for types of account requests. This account request process includes the creations of an electronic request supported by imaging of all related documents, approval routing of the electronic document, and upon completion, a retrievable fund authority. Some types of Account Request have limited access and are not available to all campus. See page 6 for detailed descriptions. Requests for Subsidiary Ledger accounts only are allowed in some limited instances and are not available to all campus. Security Access Requirement: Access to Finance Central with your FACSID. Prerequisites: Departments should have internal procedures to obtain the necessary and supporting documentation prior to starting the account request process. The department may complete an AS100 form (Account Request Form) to use as an internal document. This form provides the information requested in the departmental screens and will help make sure you have all the information you need to complete the request. The supporting documentation for the attachment in the system should be available for imaging, since the document is required to complete the departmental workflow. (Do not image the AS100 or internal document in the UNC Account Request System, unless it is a memo or correspondence to support the account request.) Revision Date 11.12.12
