  10. Current World

  11. New World: Agreement Payments • Agreement payment: a payment to a vendor based on an agreement with a State agency.

  12. New World: Formal & Informal Agreement Payments • Formal agreement payment: a payment to an individual or organization based on a formal agreement (i.e. above the threshold) • Informal agreement payment: a payment to an individual or organization based on an informal agreement (i.e. below the threshold)

  13. New World: Non-agreement payments • Non-agreement payment: all other payments

  14. Additional Key Messages • We want to eliminate redundant data entry by storing appropriate information. • We want to enable consistent, accurate reporting regarding those with whom the State does business and/or makes payments.

  15. Anticipated Benefits to Agencies • More accurate information regarding payment status • More complete payment history • Facilitate discounts for expedited payments

  16. Key Points about Business Models • Proposed new world • Logical models – not physical • Business models not technical Models (i.e. not a database Model) • Look at the world from specific points of view • Process • Information/Objects • All of the models were reconciled to ensure that we have a comprehensive view of the business

  17. Scenarios for Payments • Payment request for an informal agreement: • submit 1st invoice for a vendor • Submit 2nd invoice for a vendor • Payment request for a formal agreement (contract with Carter Equipment for $2,000,000) • Payment request to pay a managed non-vendor (School aid payments to local school districts) • Funds are appropriated, banking information is on file • Payment request to pay a non-managed legal entity (Tax refund to be paid electronically) • Non-appropriated payment • Payment request to a vendor or agreement with a claim (e.g. lien, hold, offset)

  18. Business Process Model • See handout.

  19. Business Object Model • See handout.
