Frequently Asked Questions

University Deposits

When settling our credit card machine, we ran out of paper before printing the settlement report. Can I get a copy of the settlement report elsewhere?

toggle

Contact University Deposits with the merchant account number and amount. We will search for the batch settlement report on the Global Payments website and fax it to you.

We made a deposit but cannot find it in our Banner clearing account. What happened?

toggle

Contact University Deposits with the Banner fund, amount, date of deposit and payment types (cash, check, MasterCard/Visa, Discover, American Express). We will check our deposit sign in sheet and the Loomis delivery log to ensure that the bag was received by us. Then, we will look for possible errors. If we made a data entry mistake, the error will be corrected as soon as possible and you will be kept informed of the progress.

How do we get more deposit bags?

toggle

Contact University Deposits with the name of a person in the department and their mailstop. We will put some in Campus Mail.

We need a copy of a deposit and the backup that was with it. Can you send us a copy?

toggle

Best practice is for departments to make copies of checks and documentation and retain them for their records. If the TC document is not in Xtender, contact University Deposits with the date of the deposit, the TC number and the amount. We will search our un-scanned batches for your deposit and will email you a copy of the DDIS form and documentation. Note that University Deposits does not make or retain copies of the checks in a deposit.

Where can I find a DDIS form for making a deposit?

toggle

The form is available on our website under Forms or we can email it to you.

How do I make a deposit to reimburse a P-card charge?

toggle

Fill out the DDIS form using the clearing fund and account set up for your department. After the deposit has posted, remember to take the steps necessary in your department to move it to the same FOAP as the charge.

I mailed a check to one of our vendors to pay all of our recent invoices but the vendor said the check was not received in their office. How do I find out if the check has cleared the bank?

Our department deposited a check from one of our customers several months ago. Now we are being audited and need to provide a copy of the check we received. Where can we get that copy?

toggle

We cannot provide copies of any checks that were made payable to Texas Tech and that you have turned in for deposit in the bank (due to the large volume of checks deposited each day in University Deposits, we are not able to make and retain copies of each check). If you will need a copy at some point down the line, you must make a copy of the check when you receive it and before you turn this in to University Deposits.

One of our department employees paid sales tax on a P-card purchase to a local office supply store. I am told that this employee must reimburse the amount of sales tax. The employee has given me this check; how do I handle this transaction on a DDIS form?

toggle

Deposit the check as a separate item on your regular DDIS form; you may add a description if you prefer on the space next to the check. After your P-card transaction has processed in Banner, you will move the deposit out of your clearing account and credit your FOP plus the account code used for the P-card transaction. You will want to reference the Banner Document # used for the P-card transaction. For more information, contact your fund accountant in Accounting Services

One of our customers contacted us and said they sent us a wire transfer last month; how do I find out if the payment has been received and recorded to our department FOP?

toggle

In reviewing the outstanding items in our department clearing account, I see several deposits that I do not recognize. How can I find out more information about these deposits?

I have questions about various credit card fees that were charged to our department FOP last month. How can I find out more information regarding these fees?
