FIMM Genomics: Instructions for using HUS funds in iLab

iLab is an online order and project management system that is used across many core units in Helsinki University. The system requires one-time registration. Once you are registered, the system will enable you to browse services, place service requests, provide required approvals and monitor progress.
General information

HUS Group, Helsinki University hospital is established in iLab as an external institution. All HUS Group departments are listed in iLab as groups under that institution. Each group has a functioning invoicing link created by iLab admins that connects the group to a corresponding invoicing address in the Helsinki University SAP-system. Do not create additional new groups under HUS Group, Helsinki University hospital yourself, as these will not have an invoicing link and will not be functional. Only select from existing HUS groups (departments) when you register to iLab or request group access.

Different institute/group memberships represent different invoicing addresses in iLab. Customers can have as many memberships to different institutions and groups as they need – the amount is not limited in any way. Registering to iLab under HUS Group, Helsinki University hospital and/or requesting membership to a group under that institution enables project invoicing from HUS funds.

If a customer has multiple group memberships associated with their iLab account, they are prompted to choose which one they want to use before initiating a service request. Please choose carefully, as this will determine your invoicing address. Note that payment notes will not be visible on the final invoice. Reference number is the only invoicing information you can edit for each individual service request.
