NEW TRANSITION PLAN AWAY FROM PURCHASE ORDERS:
To: Key Device Contacts (KDC)
Subject: Change to the Xerox invoice process
This communication is to inform you that effective with the May 2021 billing cycle, PSO will no longer require a purchase order (PO) to apply the monthly Xerox charges to your departmental account code. Starting May 21st, PSO will begin cancelling all open Xerox PO’s, at which time you may receive an Oracle notice of this action. Any outstanding encumbrance for your Xerox POs will be removed from your account statement. However, please note that each department’s original lease obligation remains unchanged.
No action is required by you or your department. All Xerox expenses will continue to appear on your departmental financial statements as they always have.
At this time, PSO is unable to distribute itemized invoices for each individual printer. If you have questions about your printer charges, please reach out to PSO, who can provide detailed information on request. Another option to review your monthly usage reports is to configure Paper Cut for your department which will allow you to receive monthly reports on print usage. To setup Papercut for your department, please see the following Knowledge Article:

If you need to request a change to the distribution account being used for your printer, please reach out to PSO, who will coordinate this request with AP. Please feel free to contact Jennifer Fichtner jsfpur@rit.edu with questions.
