Do you have expenses that need to be paid?

When can you start spending money?

You may only use the funds once your project is registered in AU’s financial system.

For all purchases, you must provide:

  • Project number (also referred to as case number)
  • Activity number (also referred to as case task number)

If you are purchasing through IndFak, you must also be registered as a requisitioner.

What can you spend money on?

When purchasing on behalf of Aarhus University, you must always follow AU's procurement agreements.

This applies both when:

  • AU is invoiced directly
  • You pay out of pocket and later request reimbursement

In addition, AU has policies on booking and reimbursing travel expenses, including meals, accommodation, etc.

You must also be aware that the funder may have specified what the grant can be used for.

These requirements will appear in the grant letter or in the funder’s guidelines/standard terms. Contact your project controller if you are unsure about the terms of the grant.

How are expenses handled?

Expenses are typically managed in one of these three ways:

  1. Ordering from a supplier
    When ordering goods or services from a supplier, the invoicing process runs through the SDI-IndFak system (see details below).
  2. Travel expenses and reimbursements
    If you have travel expenses or have paid out-of-pocket (using an AU credit card or your personal funds), reimbursement is handled via the RejsUd system (see details below).
  3. Payments to individuals not liable for Danish tax
    For individuals who are not tax-liable in Denmark, payments are processed using an electronic form in the REEX system.
