Business Service: Turnaround Standards

Turnaround time is defined as the receipt of request, either through e-mail, phone call, and/or campus mail, from the customer until it is approved by UBSC. Please note that some e-docs require approval outside of UBSC before they go to "Final" status and are posted to general ledger, which does not include lag time. Lag time, is defined as any time spent waiting for the customer or vendor to supply additional information and/or clarification.
