BEST PRACTICE • Budget is tight • Take care of outstanding PO’s • Last call to staff • Sufficient budget • Limit last minute PO’s • Gifts and party supplies • Catering guidelines • Rolled PO’s
COPIER OVERAGES ..\..\Copiers\11 copier meter history ELEM up to mar.xls ..\..\Copiers\11 copier meter history SEC up to mar.xls
AP … by the Numbers for 10-11 • Total # of DP’s processed: 31,632 • Total # of PO’s processed: 43,245 • Total $ paid for 74,877 invoices: $150,523,927
Scanning Tips • Attachments smaller than 8x11” need to be taped • Ex: clinician forms • Ex: McAlister’s Deli invoices • No staples • New phone system – scanned documents have legibility issues when faxed; better if emailed to AP
Receiving Tips • 3 way match required for PO payments: • PO + receiving record + invoice = match to pay • F21 – if not all received, be sure to correct lines (3 way match requirement!) • DON’T receive in CIMS if you do not have the item or are going to return it b/c you are not satisfied • Communicate with AP – for auditor & vendors ?’s • Office managers can receive on PO even if not the originator if campus is listed (some exceptions; ex: grant funds must be received by originator)
AP TOOLS Purpose: to help you manage your accounts • Weekly Reports: • Posted Invoice Listing – the BEST TOOL!!!! • indicates thatAP has the invoice for items NOT received yet in CIMS • shows posted invoices: • that are current to overdue • for items that have been delivered to different departments • for expected delivery (some vendors email the invoice same day as mailing items)
AP TOOLS • Monthly Reports: • Open Blanket PO listing • Open Line-Item PO listing • Outstanding Direct Pays • PO’s Received but not Invoiced You will see these more often near the end of the year – please review all your listings!
AP TOOLS Report sent when requested or near end of year: • Open PO Report • Notify AP to close those purchase orders that you don’t need open anymore = $ back to your account • Communicate with AP!!! • Items no longer available = close the PO • Still waiting for items on back order = keep PO open
Account Balances • Watch your account balances carefully • Add shipping when necessary • Be careful with discounts • You will be contacted to correct any accounts that are negative
This and That …. • Invoices – if you have one = AP doesn’t • Packing Slips – attach to your PO for your reference (do not send to AP!) • Direct pay attachments • AP does NOT mail attachments with checks – have check routed back to your site if attachments need to be mailed with check • Donations to charities: • Paid out of 865 accounts only • Must be for non-profit agencies only • Best practice: attach a copy of the agency’s 501(c)(3) exemption form (non-profit status)
