You will not be billed for the discount fees by the vendors (MC/VISA/Discover/JCB/AMEX). MC/VISA /Discover/JCB fees are automatically fed into the GL much like the income. This data will appear as a line item with the document code of CCCH. The Office of the Treasurer then pays the total amount of fees for MC/Visa/Discover/JCB to our processor. For AMEX, the Office of the Treasurer initially pays the fees. An Internal Billing (IB) is prepared for each Merchant's fees to reimburse the University according to the card type and fee rate for the payment made. The IB document will direct the expense to the KFS Expense Account number and object code that was provided when setting up your Merchant account. Any time a Merchant wishes to use a different account number or object code, the fiscal officer should submit a request using this form. If you are unsure which object code for expense is most appropriate, you can consult the chart of accounts for guidance.
