The University’s calculated fEC rates for 2019-20
The University’s calculated fEC rates for 2019-20 are showing a significant decrease compared to 2018-19. This is believed to be an anomalous result arising from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The University believes this may be an issue for the sector and has requested that the TRAC Development Group investigate the issue once OfS has received and analysed all the TRAC Returns for 2019-20. As a consequence the University is taking the option in the TRAC Guidance to continue to use the 2018-19 rates for up to six months after the TRAC submission. Therefore, all rates (Indirect, Estates lab and Non-lab and Facilities) will remain the same, until further notice.

Accounts Receivable – AstraZeneca/Coupa Supplier Portal Reminder
AstraZeneca are moving to mandatory use of the Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP) from 31st March 2021. From that date all invoices issued to AstraZeneca from the University will need to be submitted on this portal, they will no longer accept invoices sent by post or email.
The University already has a central Coupa registration (managed by Bernadette Parsons in Credit Control) to which we can add users from all our departments and the Research Office if they need to transact with AstraZeneca, we want to use this registration rather than have separate registrations set up for individual departments.
Please contact Bernadette Parsons (Bernadett.Parsons@admin.cam.ac.uk) Tel: x765872) if
-
you wish to be registered as a user on Coupa
-
you have already completed a Coupa registration (we can merge the accounts)
-
you have any queries on the new process with AstraZeneca
-
any of your other customers mention a Coupa connection going forward.
