General
The new monthly reports provide significantly more detail than previous reports. Each telephone extension and business authorization code will appear every month on the report whether or not charges have been incurred. This change was made so that departments can easily recognize and report discrepancies in personnel, authorization codes and telephone extensions assigned to the department. Charges will automatically be downloaded to your designated budget line thru the Banner system.

Some departments will find discrepancies in names, extensions, authorization code assignments, etc. To deactivate codes, remove names, or extensions from your bill please email your request to billing@stcservices.com. For charges adjustments please call the Telecommunications office at ext. 7014.

Name
The first line contains the department name. Subsequent lines are used to identify the person(s) using a telephone extension or the function of the extension (e.g, fax). Also, used to identify the individual using a business authorization code. Names will often appear more than once since many employees have a telephone extension and a business authorization code assigned to them. The field has a maximum size of 20 characters.

Ext/PIN
Each authorization code and telephone extension assigned to a department will appear each month whether or not charges have accrued. A 4 digit number with no prefix represents a telephone extension. A 4 digit number beginning with the ìXXXXî prefix represents the last 4 digits of a business authorization code. The beginning digits are stripped for security purposes. Each authorization code should only be used by one individual for maximum security.

Calls
The total number of calls made from a telephone extension with no business authorization code OR the total number of long distance calls made using a business authorization code. Local and toll free calls are included in this total but accrue no charges.

Minutes
The total number of minutes of all calls made from an extension or by using a business authorization code. Local and toll free calls are included in this total but accrue no charges.

Cost
The sum of all billable calls made from a telephone extension or by using a business authorization code.
