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 . 5

25
P2P
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. To access your MarkView working folder at any time, bookmark the following URL:

III. RECEIPTS
27
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= 25,879 There 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, its not necessary to apply a PO Creator Approved stamp IF invoice is on Qty 31 Rec hold ONLY.
P2P
Why we receipt
Universitys 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 Receipts
Whats 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. 36
We highly recommend that the title you create includes the CNAC/ORG parameters used to run the report. These parameters are NOT shown on the parameters page as they are in other reports.

The email should include the following information: Purchase Order Number, PO Receipt number, PO Line number and what the receipted quantity should be This report is a useful tool for managers to identify : End users who have problems setting up purchase orders correctly End users who enter receipts at the time the PO is created or before goods and services have actually been received

AP responds Final Close is NOT an option for your PO Final Close request. Why?
Since the system does not inform AP on the reason WHY a PO can not be final closed, it could be one or more of the following reasons: PO has been cancelled PO has been receipted but not yet billed (invoiced) An account segment on the purchase order 43 has been disabled
P2P
In order to final close a purchase order the conditions mentioned in the previous slides must be met and an email must be sent to Accounts Payable at apsup@pobox.upenn.edu with the following information
Purchase Order Number Buyer Name Supplier Name Reason for final closing the purchase order
NOTE: Requests received and meet the conditions to Final Close, will be processed by 5 pm within 3 business days.

Credit Memos
It is standard Oracle functionality that credit memos received electronically from EDI suppliers are NOT matched {linked} to a PO, but those received via paper are manually matched by Accounts Payable therefore, can be queried in BEN Financials by the PO #.

NOTE: When entering credit memos youre dealing with negative numbers. The lower dollar amount must be entered in your search first. If you enter the higher dollar amount first you will receive the following message: Error: APP-SQLAP-10028: The minimum amount 53 cannot be greater than the maximum amount. Re-enter.
NOTE: Guesstimate the date range. You obviously would not enter a date parameter that is prior to the original invoice date. 54
VI. ENCUMBRANCES
55
MANAGE ENCUMBRANCES
There was an encumbrance on my 100.ORG report, but the dollar amount does not appear on my 163.Open Encumbrances report. Why? Use one of the following tools described to determine if the transaction is an invoice encumbrance. Invoice encumbrances should be created and relieved in the same batch, occasionally they dont. BEN Financials>GL Inquiry Responsibility Rev/ Expense Inquiry
Shows transactions [including Pending status] for Encumbrance, PO Adjustment Encumbrance, and Salary/ EB [which is summarized-no personal information available] Shows the Encumbrance details of the transaction [e.g. PO/Inv #/ Supplier

What if an encumbrance still exists after the PO has been final closed?
[This is a question thats 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. 58
