INVOICING PLAN Monthly Payment Plan Course Number: V003
Invoicing Plan Overview • Invoicing Plan (or “Periodic Inv. Plan”) is a type of Purchase Order created in SAP R/3 • Use of this transaction type on a PO will generate automatic, routine payments to the vendor at regular intervals, such as for real estate or equipment leases • The Contracts that these PO’s are referenced against are also created in SAP R/3
Invoicing Plan Overview • There are several Commonwealth-wide Contracts set up in SAP R/3 for use with Invoicing Plan, but this course will only cover Purchase Orders specific to: • 4600013235, IKON Business Solutions Multi-Functional Devices, Lot 3 only (copier lease) • All agencies are now required to use Invoicing Plan when creating Purchase Orders that reference this Contract
Invoicing Plan Overview • Use of Invoicing Plan is extremely beneficial to both the Commonwealth and the Vendor • The Vendor will always be paid in a timely manner per the Purchase Order payment terms set up by the Commonwealth • Manual input and processing of invoices by Comptroller’s will be eliminated • Agency input of goods receipts against the Purchase Order will be eliminated
