AGENDA

Dan AldenDirector of Procurement and Strategic Sourcing

Lisa BraunDirector of Accounting

Please join Financial Services in congratulating our new directors!

New Employee Introductions

The new billing number and current account number are built into the reservation when completed through the SAP Portal.

Billing and account numbers are needed for call-in reservations for vehicles not available through SAP Portal, i.e. trucks and vans.

Should unforeseen travel events occur, billing and account numbers are needed to rent a vehicle directly from an Enterprise location.

Use the SAP Portal or direct bill options whenever possible in order to save the department money. These options have built-in discounts, for example, including the insurance rate in the rental price.

‘Personal Use’ rentals have the same rental rates, but will not include insurance. Do not mix business and personal use with direct bill.

Q & A

14

Must process Expense Report if Company Paid Airfare was purchased.

Identify Travel Requests for trips that did not occur after approval.Review each of your employee’s open trips listing and, if the trip

did not occur, email the Travel Office at [email protected] to cancel the Travel Request.

This will remove the trip of its “past due” status and release any unused encumbrance money.

The trip will remain on the employee’s trip list, but will be in a “closed” status and unencumbered.

15

TRAVELTracks:Review & Close Travel Requests

Please process ASAP any Expense Reports that have been returned for corrections but not resubmitted.

Make sure the corrections required by the Travel Office are made before the Expense Report is resubmitted.

Once the corrections are made and the traveler has resubmitted, email the Travel Office at [email protected] to re-audit and process the Expense Report.

This will clear the trip of its “past due” status and release any unused encumbrance money.

16

TRAVELTracks: Expense Reports

Currently, the Travel Office manually emails past due Expense Report notices when the trip includes a travel advance and/or company paid airfare, car, and lodging.

The Travel Office manually sends the first notices and Assistant Director sends the escalations for further past due trips.

The Travel Office is in the final stages of systemically sending these notices for ALL past due Expense Reports. This will be more timely as notices will be sent on the day the trips age to the next past due level.

17

TRAVELTracks: Email Notifications on Past Due Expense Reports

Effective immediately, all current Texas State students, employees, and guests of employees must complete one of the T-4 forms for University-sanctioned foreign trips.

The T-4, T-4G, or T-4M Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk for Foreign Travel form(s) must be completed in its entirety by the traveler, guest, guardian, or Travel Assistant.

The traveler or guardian (if the traveler is under 18 years of age) listed on the form must sign the completed form.

The form(s) must be attached to Travel Requests or Travel Funds Commitments for foreign travel.

18

Foreign Travel Form T-4 Update

19

NEWT-4 Forms Continued

The T-4 must be completed for all current students and employees, with the exception of minors, which requires a separate T-4 form.

20

NEWT-4 Forms Continued

The T-4G must be completed for an employee’s dependents, family members, or guests of traveling on the same itinerary, with the exception of minors, which requires a separate T-4 form.

21

NEWT-4 Forms Continued

The T-4M must be completed for students, dependents, family members, or guests under 18 years of age.

The total travel open encumbrances for FY 2017 are currently at $2.9 million. 25% of last year’s actuals!!!

Use the ZOPEN_ENCUMBRANCE transaction in SAP GUI to review open travel encumbrances.Note that this report will display all open encumbrances, not just

those related to travel, unless you specify the Travel GL Matrixnumbers in the “Commitment” field, and include the estimated cost GLs: 710096, 710097, 710098.

The document numbers will begin with “73” for Travel Requests and “2014” for Funds Commitments and 31 or 45 for POs.

If you use the Travel GL numbers in the Commitment field you will only get encumbered Travel documents.

22

Travel FY 2017 Encumbrances

If you run the report “wide open” without any specified GL numbers, you will get ALL of your open encumbrances, not just Travel.

For TRAVELTracks documents, close out the expense report to clear the encumbrance or email [email protected] to cancel the trip/encumbrance.

For Funds Commitments you will need to email [email protected] to close those encumbrances.

Use ZNOPO2 to review open e-NPO travel documents.

See Travel RSS 062817A for more details or this link for procedures Close Travel Encumbrance Instructions .

23

Travel FY 2017 Encumbrances

In preparation for fiscal year-end, please be sure to check your Open Encumbrance Report via the ZOPEN_ENCUMBRANCE transaction in SAP and request closures from the Procurement Office as necessary.

Instructions for running this report are posted on the Purchasing Office’s Open Encumbrance Reportwebpage.

Ensure the vendor’s name and address listed on the FS-03 form matches the vendor’s address in SAP.

Ensure that both the vendor and Account Manager have signed and dated the form.

The FS-03 form must be attached to your e-NPO.

The e-NPO will route through the approval process, which includes Purchasing/Contracts.

Do not send a paper copy of the FS-03 to Purchasing or AP if you have submitted an e-NPO for this payment.

Look for a new FS-03 form to be available September 1st.Will be more streamlined for your payment requests!

37

FS-03 Form and e-NPO Process

See AP RSS 060617A for additional details. Department creates PO for services - GL 727700.

Staff member dropping off item(s) should provide vendor with their name, PO number or form, and department name.

Victory Cleaners will include the PO number, employee and department name on each invoice.

Vendor will use a single invoice format and email invoices to AP ([email protected]) instead of the vendor sending invoices to various campus departments.This will eliminate the unrealistic burden of using various billing

formats and submitting to different email addresses across campus.38

Standardized Payment Processfor Victory Cleaners

If paying by P-card, no further action is needed.Vendor will provide a receipt for the P-card log supporting

documentation. The expense will appear in the department’s GL 727700 when the P-card transactions are processed.

If no PO, payment must be made via P-card OR request an invoice be emailed to [email protected] with “NPO” as the PO number.The name of the department and employee dropping off or

picking up the item(s) will still be provided to the vendor, which will then be included on the invoice.

AP will send the invoice to the department listed, who will create an e-NPO for the charges using GL 727700. Do NOT create a PO after the fact. 39

Standardized Payment Processfor Victory Cleaners Continued
