Creating Non-Marketplace Request

Item details such as item description, supplier item #, and price should be obtained from the supplier prior to creating this type of request to reduce invoice exceptions. From a Quote: In addition to providing the quote # in the item description, include specific item details. [e.g.. Product name, model #ABC123,
etc.].

Purchase Orders
Creation Process [continued]

Purchase Orders for Goods/ Services

1. Goods billed by quantity = (Qty * Price) 2. Goods or services billed by amount = (Amount * 1) 3. Services billed by quantity = (Qty * Rate per Unit)

Remember:
To avoid exceptions and problems with invoices being matched incorrectly, a requisition should be created via the Penn Marketplace for suppliers that are a contract supplier [e.g. Fisher Scientific, Telrose/Office Depot, etc.] and for items not available in the hosted catalog, create a NonCatalog item request

Step 4- Decide if the invoice is okay to pay

WHY is the invoice ON HOLD?

An invoice can be on hold for one or more of the following reasons:

Quantity Ordered Hold {QTY ORD} The quantity invoiced for a PO line exceeds the 10% tolerance of the quantity ordered on the PO

Maximum Shipment Hold {MAX SHIPMENT AMOUNT} The invoice line total (Qty x Price) is greater than the PO total (Qty x Price) by $25

Comment Requested Hold Additional information is being requested by Accounts Payable. A response should be submitted via Return To stamp with a resolution

Quantity Receipt Hold {QTY REC} Total quantity BILLED exceeds the Total quantity receipted for the PO line on any purchase order with a total greater than $5K or marked as receipt required 19

Managing Holds Process

Step 5- Apply the markup After reviewing the hold reason, invoice and purchase order line, is the invoice okay to pay?

YESApply the Holds Resolved stamp to release one or all of these holds: Qty Ordered Max Ship Amount

NOApply the Route To Accounts Payable [include a note of why invoice should be canceled in the Comments box]

Not sure yet In dispute with supplier? You can apply the Blue Sticky Note. Add a note: Currently in dispute with supplier. Awaiting resolution.

Managing Holds [continued]

For a PO Buyer that transfers within University and has PO Manager responsibility in their new role?
This should be a short term transitional process and should only occur for service Purchase Orders. Supply Purchase Orders should be fully exhausted once the final invoice is processed There should be a combined effort from [the department where POs were originated and department PO Buyer transferred to] for managing lingering holds Actions the originating department [PO was created from] should take:
Run the Open Purchase Orders by Buyer report to view POs that are still active Run the 501. Matching Holds Report Receipt the PO within BEN Financials. This can be done without receiving an Oracle alert. Therefore, the PO never goes on hold Both departments should come to a resolution on payment of the invoice

In some cases, it may be necessary to change the Buyer on Purchase Orders

The form to request a change Buyer can be found at: http://finance.upenn.edu/comptroller/forms/#BEN

III. RECEIPTS

33

Invoices on Qty Rec Hold

I receipted an invoice in PO Manager, why is it still on hold?

Remember:
When entering receipts, you receipt a quantity or amount against the PO Line. You do not receipt the invoice. There is NO association between receipts and specific invoices.
EXAMPLE: PO created for QTY= 25,879 There are 4 invoices on Qty Rec hold. 3 for $7,327.84 [ea] and 1 for $3,863.92. A receipt is entered for QTY= 21,983.53 [total of 3 invoices] None of the invoices go off hold because the total quantity received must equal or exceed the total quantity billed
34

Invoices on Qty Rec Hold

How can I verify whats been billed and receipted on my purchase order?

35

Invoices on Qty Rec Hold

[Continued]

REMEMBER: Each hold and each receipt is against a

specific line number on the purchase order as shown in the illustration below.

You can also view what was ordered, billed & receipted on a Purchase Order from Inquiry> Invoices.

37

Invoices on Qty Rec Hold

[Continued]

I entered a receipt and applied the Holds Resolved stamp to the invoice. Why is the hold notification still in my web inbox?

Remember: Qty Rec holds are released in nightly batch processing. The hold will be released the night that receipts are entered in BEN. Therefore, its not necessary to apply a Holds Resolved stamp IF invoice is on Qty Rec hold ONLY.
38

P2P

Why we receipt

Universitys Financial Policy #2309 requires due diligence on the part of University employees to ensure the proper receipt and inspection of purchased goods. Departments must receipt goods and/or services for all purchase orders valued at $5,000 or greater before payment can be released to supplier.

Entering Receipts from PO Manager

Why cant I enter a receipt? I get a message Field is protected Against update in the lower corner of the screen when I try to put a check mark in the box next to the Quantity field.

This message means, there are multiple distributions on your purchase order

40

Entering Receipts

Impact of Receipts
Whats the Impact on entering receipts?
Creates an accrual amount at the end of the fiscal year if the qty or amount receipted is MORE THAN the qty or amount billed. The unrecorded liability for goods and services that have been received but not yet billed to the university [invoiced in BEN]. Incorrect receipting can create an error to the Financial Statements. It is important to manage receipted POs throughout the year. To manage accruals, run the 900.Uninvoiced Receipts report. 43

Fiscal Year End Receipt Accruals

900 Uninvoiced Receipts Report
We highly recommend that the title you create includes the CNAC/ORG parameters used to run the report. These parameters are NOT shown on the parameters page as they are in other reports.

NOTE: None of the other parameters need to be entered to run this report

Fiscal Year End Receipt Accruals

Continued

900 Uninvoiced Receipts Report

The report provides a preview of all accrual entries that will be posted to your school/ centers 26-digit account in June as part of year end processing.
The accrual calculation is derived from the quantity receipted less the quantity billed times the unit price of the purchase order line
Accrual = (Qty/Amt Received x Unit Price on PO) - (Qty/Amt Billed
x Unit Price on PO)
45

http://www.finance.upenn.edu/ben/benfin/documentation/reportdoc/quickv/900.shtml

P2P

900 Uninvoiced Receipts Report

To better manage accruals, this report should be run monthly and receipts should be corrected by sending an email to apsup@exchange.upenn.edu. The email should include the following information: Purchase Order Number, PO Receipt number, PO Line number and what the receipted quantity should be This report is a useful tool for managers to identify : End users who have problems setting up purchase orders correctly End users who enter receipts at the time the PO is created or before goods and services have actually been received

FINAL CLOSE PROCESS

47

FINAL CLOSE PO PROCESS

What are reasons a purchase order should be FINAL CLOSED?
To remove a remaining encumbrance balance

Supplier is still issuing invoices against an old purchase order

Note: A new PO should be issued to the supplier

before the existing one is Final Closed

48

FINAL CLOSE PO PROCESS

[continued]

What are steps I need to take prior to Final Closing a PO?

Purchase Order has been fully executed which includes:

All goods and/or services were received All invoices were entered into BEN Financials and all holds have been resolved All checks have been issued to the supplier

49

FINAL CLOSE PO PROCESS

[continued]

AP responds Final Close is NOT an option for your PO Final Close request. Why?
Since the system does not inform AP on the reason WHY a PO can not be final closed, it could be one or more of the following reasons:

PO has been receipted but not yet billed (invoiced) An account segment on the purchase order has been disabled 50

P2P

FINAL CLOSE PO PROCESS

[continued]

In order to final close a purchase order the conditions mentioned in the previous slides must be met and an email must be sent to Accounts Payable at apsup@exchange.upenn.edu with the following information
Purchase Order Number Buyer Name Supplier Name Reason for final closing the purchase order

NOTE: Requests received and meet the conditions to Final Close, will be processed by 5 pm within 3 business days.

VI. ENCUMBRANCES

56

Requisition Encumbrances
With the new version of BEN Buys, Oracle now requires Requisition Encumbrances.

What does this mean to you?

I. Requisition and Purchase Order Approvals there is no change to the approval process. The only change is the addition of the Requisition Encumbrance entries that will be a simple in and out requisition encumbrance when the requisition is approved and purchase order is created. (Please see the note on the next slide for further explanation of the new Encumbrance accounting entries). II. Purchase Orders that are Rejected NEW process. In order to relieve the Requisition Encumbrance resulting from a Rejected PO, the related Requisition needs to be cancelled. Currently, only the Requisitioner can cancel the requisition.

57

Requisition Encumbrances
[continued]

Process for handling a Rejected Purchase Order:

If you need to reject a purchase order contact BEN Helps (215-746-4357) or review the temporary work around instructions which can be found at: http://www.finance.upenn.edu/benknows/browse_topics/po_rejected.shtml
Requisition Encumbrance Accounting Note:
In most cases this encumbrance will be similar to the existing Invoice Encumbrance process; the encumbrance is created when the Requisition is approved and automatically relieved when the Purchase Order is created. If a Requisition and the resulting Purchase Order are both approved (PO released to the supplier) in the same day, these transactions will be transparent (an in and out transaction). The entries net to zero in the overnight processing and no journals are created for the Requisition encumbrance. If the Requisition and Purchase Order are not approved on the same day the system will create a Requisition Encumbrance entry that will be posted to the ledger. Once the Purchase Order is approved the required Requisition Encumbrance relief entry will be automatically created in the overnight processing and posted to the general ledger.
58

MANAGE ENCUMBRANCES
There was an encumbrance on my 100.ORG report, but the dollar amount does not appear on my 163.Open Encumbrances report. Why? Use one of the following tools described to determine if the transaction is an invoice encumbrance. Invoice encumbrances should be created and relieved in the same batch, occasionally they dont. BEN Financials>GL Inquiry Responsibility Rev/ Expense Inquiry
Shows transactions [including Pending status] for Encumbrance, PO Adjustment Encumbrance, and Salary/ EB [which is summarized-no personal information available] Shows the Encumbrance details of the transaction [e.g. PO/Inv #/ Supplier

GL Inquiry Responsibility> Inquiry on Account

Inquiry on Account gives you the ability to DRILL 60 down to view invoice detail

MANAGE ENCUMBRANCES [continued]

What if an encumbrance still exists after the PO has been final closed?
[This is a question thats been asked. This should not be happening, we implemented a process to prevent this]

The automated encumbrance relief process which was implemented 2 years ago will relieve these. This process kicks in during nightly batch processing the night after a 61 PO has been final closed.
