Purchases, travel, any disbursement of funds, hiring and exiting employees, and payroll transactions must be made in accordance with the State of Texas laws, applicable statutes and regulations, the State Comptroller's guidelines, Texas A&M System Policies and Regulations, and Texas A&M Rules and Standard Administrative Procedures. This website, the AABS Customer Reference Manual, is derived from these sources.
This manual is intended to provide basic information and, more specifically, procedures for departments serviced by Academic Affairs Business Services (AABS). There are several main menu items in the "Section" dropdown box at the top of this page. You may go to any of these areas by clicking on one of the items. Each main menu item has sub-menu sections that are listed in a vertical menu on the left-hand side of each page.
