Customer Finance Administrator

Customer Finance Administrators are not required to have their own Stratocore PPMS accounts but are encouraged to create an account and request Group Management access.

Without an account, Customer Finance Administrators (who are listed as a Group Administrative Contact for a Principal Investigator’s group) will still receive emails detailing upcoming charges as well as emails including a final detail of charges and a PDF invoice*.

*PDF invoices are only sent to external non- and for- profit customers.
