CNR Profiles in ARC:
Supplier IDs with a prefix of CNR were created as part of the implementation for the upcoming Travel and Expense System CONCUR. CNR profiles were created for all existing EMPLOYEE, STUDENT EMPLOYEE and STUDENT profiles in ARC - for Reimbursement Payments ONLY ie TBER vouchers in ARC.
EMPLOYEE and STUDENT EMPLOYEE CNR Vendor/Supplier Profiles in ARC have Direct Deposit/ACH Bank Account Information that was automatically transferred from Payroll (PAC) direct deposit information to ARC. (Note- the AP reimbursement will go to the same ACH account as payroll check).
STUDENT CNR profiles have Direct Deposit /ACH information that was automatically transferred from SSOL.
Note, The CNR file runs nightly, to bring over the ACTIVE students from SIS (SSOL) - it will only pick up students who are ACTIVE for the CURRENT semester.
What if there’s NO CNR Profile in ARC?
If soomeone doesn’t have a CNR Profile, please reach out to the ISERP Business Office as to why they are not Active in the CU PAC Payroll System. You must be ACTIVE in the CU PAC Payroll System to have a CNR Profile ID for Expense Reimbursements.
Why don’t they have a CNR Profile, or Why is the Profile Inactive?
The Student must be registered for the Current or Future semester and they must have a local Address in SSOL in order to be Active in ARC for use. If they need more information, please contact the Student Service Center for investigation.Note, the Student employee will need to be set up as an OutSide Vendor.
RETIREES and NYP Employees,will not get a CNR Profile. Both need Vendor Requests to be submitted for them to be set up as Outside Party Vendors/Suppliers for Reimbursement payments.
