Agenda
Overview
An Invoice Reconciliation (IR) begins when a invoice is entered into MFMP.
There are two ways to create an IR:
Invoice eForm (agency creation) Using the paper invoice, the agency enters the invoice into MFMP. Department of Financial Services (DFS) requires a scanned image of the
invoice to be attached. We recommend attaching any supporting documentation.
eInvoice (vendor creation) Also known as a PO flip or ASN invoice. Vendors can submit invoices electronically. DFS does not require a paper copy of the invoice.
Finance and Accounting (F&A) then audits and rejects or approves the IR for payment.

Overview
Exception Handler Invoice Manager
Normally the first F&A Approver Ensures the invoice should be approved.
Responsible for reconciling all exceptions. Ensures the transaction date is accurate.
Ensures the invoice matches the terms of the order.
Ensures that all accounting information is accurate.
Ensures goods were received or services were approved.
Last agency approver of the invoice.
Ensures that the transaction date is accurate. FLAIR username and password are recorded in FLAIR when the IR is approved.
Ensure that all accounting information is accurate.
If DFS returns the IR for additional information, the Invoice Manager is added to the approval flow.

An IR includes six tabs: Exceptions: Performs the match and displays the discrepancies. Approval Flow: Defines who is required to approve and who has approved. Invoice: Details the invoice. Order: Offers direct access to the purchase order (PO). Receipt: Captures all receiving reports (If purchase order is for a service, this
tab will be blank.) History: Details and records all activity on the IR
Overview
8-30-10 Page - 8
Discrepancies or differences between the order, invoice, and receipt (if applicable) are listed on the IR as exceptions.
All exceptions must be reconciled before the IR can be approved for payment.
MFMP handles services differently than commodities. MFMP performs a three-way match for commodities: invoice compared to
the order and the receipt. MFMP performs a two-way match for services: invoice compared to the
order.

Header Level exceptions are differences for the entire invoice.
Amount Variance• The total cost of the invoice is different than the total cost of the purchase
order.• This variance occurs when you have a partial payment for an order.
Auto Reject Amount Variance• The invoice's amount, $128.04000USD, does not match the purchase order's
amount, $0.00000USD.
Invoice Reconciliation Already Exists• An IR with the same invoice number and supplier already exists. This could be
a result of the vendor having already sent an electronic invoice.– If this occurs, the IR will be placed into auto-reject status
PCard Order• Invalid invoices created from PCard orders are not accepted.

Reconciling an IR
Dispute: You can place a line on the IR into Dispute status in lieu of rejecting the
entire invoice.
• This allows for the partial payment of the invoice.
In order to dispute a line, the line amount must be brought to zero.
The Summary view allows you to validate the invoice total is reduced by the line amount being rejected.
Step-by-step instructions are available in the MFMP Buyer Manual.

Agenda
Reconciling an IR: Auto Reject
When MFMP creates the IR and goes through the matching process, the system marks the IR as Auto Rejected if: Invoice number is duplicated Invoice amount or quantity exceeds the amount left to pay The requester marked the requisition to be paid with a Pcard and the
vendor sent an eInvocie.
Verify to determine if the invoice should be rejected or paid. If it should be paid, reject the rejection, and process the invoice for
payment. If it should be rejected, approve the rejection and the invoice will be placed
in Rejected status. (Both Exception Handler and Invoice Manager will have to approve this rejection.)
