How to Run Service Billing Reports

Browser Requirements

 Please use Internet Explorer 7 - 10 on Windows and Safari 5 or 6 on Macintosh. OBI is compatible with Firefox 3.5 and higher on all platforms.

Please see the Browser Recommendations page for a complete list of supported browsers.

Because services transitioned in 2013 to the new IT Services ordering system, billing reports now reside in both the old and new formats. Use the Billing & Reports Summary Table to find your report.

BI Reports are available online on the fifth business day of the month reflecting detailed month-end close transactions for Order IT.

  1. Go to bi.stanford.edu.

  3. The Oracle reporting environment opens when the browser check completes successfully.
