Quick Add

Role: Core Administrator

The Quick Add function of the Charge Entry interface allows you to manually add charges to the system. It offers two Quick Add options - one is to create a new service request, the other is to add a charge to an existing request in the status of processing. 

Note

The Charge Entry feature may not be available based on your core settings, please contact iLab support for information on having this turned on for your core.


Add Charges to New Service Request

There are two ways of adding charges using Quick Add: adding them to a new request or adding them to an existing request.

  1. Search Fund Numbers: When you begin typing the fund number, results will start to display below the search, click on the desired fund number once it appears. Once the fund number is selected, you will choose an owner and lab for the request, these fields will only populate owners that are assigned the fund number and labs that the owner and fund number associated with. 

Note
