How to Obtain an ISIS Detail Code  
 
Summary: Find out how to create an ISIS detail code so you can bill outside entities or students.

Detail codes drive the description on UCSD billing statements and determine where your department receives credit in your ledgers.
What to do How to do it
1 Download the Detail Code form.
  1. Download the form in Word or Excel.
2 Complete these items in Section A to provide ISIS information.
  1. Action code: Check Add to request a new detail code. Check Change to change an existing detail code.
  2. Detail code requested: Enter up to 6 digits. The first 3 identify your department, and the last 3 describe the type of charge.
    Example: BURLTE (Bursars Late Fee)
  3. Short description: Enter up to 10 characters to describe the detail code.
    Example: BillLtFee (Billing Late Fee)
  4. Full description: Enter up to 30 characters to describe the charge or payment that will appear on the customer’s billing statement or on the student's account.
    Example: UCSD Statement Late Fee
  5. Type: (rarely used) Check Payment to create a payment detail code (such as Check Payment) to pay another entity; check Charge to bill an entity.
  6. Effective date: Enter the date the detail code should go into effect.
    • Expired Date: Leave blank when setting up a new code.
    • Application Priority code: For entity charge detail codes enter 000. For student-related charges, contact University Billing Services (UBS) for assistance, or copy the priority code from other student charges your department uses.
    • Application in term: Enter N unless you're setting up a specific student-related charge to be billed for specific quarters.
