ILOC - Institutional Location Codes

Introduction: ILOCS are codes assigned by departments to represent a specific Bill To, Ship To, and optional Internal Destination Addresses. By having a valid code in CUFS, the data entry operator does not need to key in the addresses, just the code.

  1. ILOC Definition

    2. The ILOC code is a series of 10 alpha numeric characters made up of three digits, then four digits, then three digits. The first three digits are always the area number for the department. The rest of the digits can be anything the department wishes - letters or numbers. Departments are responsible for creating their own ILOC codes.

  2. ILOC Function

    3. The ILOC code is set up by the department in Financial FormsNirvana (FFN) and then an alert is emailed to you that an ILOC request is pending your approval. Once you have approved the ILOC request, enter the requested action into the CUFS ILOC table following normal CUFS procedures.

  3. Fax Numbers in ILOCS

    4. Lastly, make sure that the department's bill-to fax number in included within the ILOC code. Usually, since there is no specific field for this information, we put it in the City line of the Internal Destination field. There isn't as much room on that line as it appears, so make the information as short as possible. Just type it in this format: (F) 6126212345 either alone in the Internal Destination City field or after the City field in the Bill To address. Omit the name of the city entirely.
