Creating Non-Catalog Requisitions
From a Quote:• In addition to providing the quote # in the item description,
include specific item details. [e.g.. Dell Computer, model #ABC123].
For items requiring property management data entered:• It has been previously communicated that users should not
create requisitions with 8 or more lines requiring property management data. It will result in a problem submitting the requisition.
• To reduce the chance of this problem occurring, it is recommended to list larger items separately as individual line items and group smaller items together .

““Managing HoldsManaging Holds””
“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
• Invoice Buckslip Hold
– Additional information is being requested by Accounts Payable. A response should
be submitted via “Hold Resolved” 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
Step 4- Decide if the invoice is okay to pay
““Managing HoldsManaging Holds””Step 4- continued
15
After reviewing the hold reason, invoice and purchase order line, is the invoice okay to pay?…
YES-Apply the “PO Creator Approved stamp” to release one or all of these holds:
– Qty Ordered– Max Ship Amount
NO-Apply the “Holds Resolved stamp” [include a note of why invoice should be canceled]
Not sure yet -In “dispute” with supplier? You can apply the “Blue sticky”. Add a note: Currently in dispute with supplier. Awaiting resolution.This sticky note is “For View Only” – Does NOT transition document to Accounts Payable.
Once the supplier responds and an agreement is made, proceed with actions to pay or cancel the invoice.
Using Using Markups & StampsMarkups & Stamps
• Arrow- De-select active mark-up tool
• Yellow Highlighter icon- Highlights the specified region

– This should be a short term transitional process and should only occur for “service” POs. Supply POs should be fully exhausted once the final invoice is processed
– There should be a combined effort from [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
“Managing Holds ProcessManaging Holds Process””[Continued][Continued]
“A PO Manager transfers to another department and the original PO Buyer retains PO Manager access in their new role.”
• Run the 501. Matching Holds report– Report retrieves ALL invoices on hold for a specific
Buyer, an entire Org or for a single Fund entered in the parameters.
– Report also provides detailed information including how long an invoice has been on hold.

“For a PO Buyer who leaves the University OR Transfers within the University and

Submitting Invoices for PaymentSubmitting Invoices for Payment• To ensure timely payment to suppliers and within the
specified terms, ALL invoices should be sent directly to Accounts Payable by the supplier.
• DO NOT use a highlighter on an invoice. Once scanned in the system by Accounts Payable, the data can not be read in MarkView.
• Invoice holds should be managed on a regular basis without waiting to receive an Oracle alert. Alerts are ONLY received if a new invoice goes on hold and there are no existing invoices currently on hold in your working folder.

Invoices on Qty Rec HoldInvoices 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= 25,879There 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

“I entered a receipt and applied the PO Creator Approved stamp to the invoice. Why is the hold notification still in my working folder”?
Remember:• Qty Rec holds are released in nightly batch
processing. The hold will be released the night that receipts are entered in BEN. Therefore, it’s not necessary to apply a PO Creator Approved stamp IF invoice is on Qty Rec hold ONLY.
Why we receiptWhy we receipt……
• University’s 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.

Impact of ReceiptsImpact of Receipts
36
• What’s 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.

• The report provides a preview of all accrual entries that will be posted to your school/ center’s 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)38

900 Uninvoiced Receipts Report900 Uninvoiced Receipts Report• To better manage accruals, this report should

• PO has been “cancelled”• PO has been receipted but not yet billed
(invoiced)• An account segment on the purchase order
has been disabled

“What if an encumbrance still exists after the PO has been final closed?”[This is a question that’s 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 PO has been final closed.
