AgendaAgenda55110/55120 Coding
55110 used only if the invoice is from another state agency, and it must be a GT.Send it back to AR if it isn’t correct, the invoice needs to start with GT or coded differently
Invoices received from UOC, UHC, CCC and CSU will be an ST or ET and the voucher should be coded to an expenditure account other than 55110.Grants being transferred to UOC, UHC, CCC and CSU should use 55120.DO NOT CODE Purchases of services or goods to account 55110.
55050 CodingAccount to be used for pass through to external entities.This account is used to report pass through funds provided to sub-recipients to the federal government. Incorrectly coded will impact SEFA (Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards).DO NOT CODE purchases of goods and services to account 55050.
OSC Monitors and reconciles grant coding on a monthly basis. If you are notified to correct your coding, you must correct the coding within the month it occurred, or the immediate open period. These corrections should be posted ASAP.
Any questions, please call Tony Torcia 860-702-3354
Grant CodingGrant Coding
AP units the following on grant coding to account 55110: Transfer-Grant-State-Agencies
The colleges (UOC, UHC, CCC and CSU) Federal Grants are lumped into their operating fund. The bill type ST is used in place of GT by them. Anytime an invoice is received from any of these institutions, the bill type should be either an ST or ET. The AP voucher should be coded to an expenditure account other than account 55110. You can either use a specific expenditure account or the more generic account 55120 (Transfer Grant Expenditure - State Agencies). You can refer to the grant section of the January 2011 GL/AR/BI user group http://www.core-ct.state.ct.us/financials/pps/201101_arbigl.pps . You can also share the attached transfer coding sheet with your agency staff.The AP voucher should only be coded to account 55110 if: the invoice is from a state agency, and the transfer invoice is a "GT'' (the invoice begins with GTXXXXX). For other grants being transferred to the colleges (UOC, UHC, CCC and CSU) use expenditure account 55120. DO NOT CODE Purchases of goods and services to account 55110.
Please instruct AP on grant coding to account 55050: DO NOT CODE Purchases of goods and services to account 55050.
Account 55050 should only reflect amount passed through to external entities. (see the Grant Job Aid ) Expenditures for this account will be used to report pass through funds provided to sub-recipients for certain grants to the federal government. Incorrect coding to this account will impact SEFA (Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards) which is part of the State’s single audit reporting.
OSC – monitors and reconciles grant coding monthly to achieve consistent coding. Upon notification from OSC, you must correct grant coding errors in the month they occurred, or the immediate open accounting period. These corrections should be posted ASAP.

When pulling items from the catalog DO NOT populate the vendor, category and unit of measure fields on the Define Requisition page. If you do, the system will pull the standard price for the item and not the current price. This will result in an error in the sourcing workbench if the item it greater than the 10% tolerance.

ePro ePro –– Define RequisitionsDefine Requisitions
The original load process established an item and creates the standard price. (First time the item is loaded).Notice the standard price for this item was $6.51 and the last PO price is $2.70. If the difference between the two prices is less than 10% the line will source to a Purchase order and you may have to do a change order as the vendor will most likely invoice for a different price. If the difference between the two prices is greater than 10% the line will get stuck in the sourcing workbench.

If a requisition line gets stuck in the sourcing workbench because the system has chosen the standard price rather than the current price, a Core-CT Help Desk ticket must be called in to correct the line. Once corrected, the line will source to a purchase order.
The error message indicates that the price on your requisition that was pulled in through catalog management, is 10% more than the standard price and the system would not allowed it to process.

CommunicationCommunicationCommunication is KEY – share the knowledge you gain today with your co-workers. They will appreciate it.
Participate in user groups, user acceptance testing (UAT), andfuture procurement forums.
Please communicate your agencies business requirements.
Continue to participate in user groups and share what you’ve learned. Offer your services to run your processes in our test environments.
The Inventory module would not be as successful if it weren’t for the dialog we’ve established with my end users.
We have several years of useful data stored in the data base to assist agencies better communicate their procure-to-pay requirements.
There are several developed EPM queries to assist capitalize on our investment.

Inventory StatisticsInventory StatisticsInventory module is one of the Supply Chain modules. Almost 900 people currently use the Inventory Module with great success. 25 active Business Units within 8 agencies. Inventory transactions recorded annually:
216,000 in 2008221,903 in 2009 216,892 in 2010
Recorded on-hand value at the end of 2010 was over $23 million
The Inventory module is one of the Supply Chain modules (along with Catalog Management, ePro, PO and Procurement Contracts) and is intended to support a variety of agencies business requirements.
Inventory is used by the following agencies to track supplies and day-to-day commonly used items that are warehoused. D.E.P., D.O.C., S.O.S., D.D.S., D.C.F., D.O.L, D.S.R. & D.O.T.
37

Inventory IntegrationInventory IntegrationItems maintained in warehouses or stockrooms must have
Catalog Management item IDs.
Item IDs contain specific detailed information used throughout the procurement-to-pay process.
Item IDs reduce unnecessary key strokes during the procurement process. It’s simply point and click.
Using an item ID allows the system to move the item quantity on a PO directly into the Inventory module.
An item must be added to an Inventory Business Unit before it can be transacted against.
The use of item IDs in the procurement process is more efficient and eliminates unnecessary key strokes. Point and click eliminates the need for special requests.
Simply adding the Inventory Business Unit to the ePro Requisition’s Accounting Lines will begin the process of moving the item into Inventory.
Using PO Receipt with an item ID allows for batch processes to move the item directly into INV eliminating the need for an Express Putaway where errors can occur with prices and UOM.

Advantages of an Item IDAdvantages of an Item IDAn association to a specific contract and specific vendor or vendors.
Contains purchasing attributes such as Manufacturer, Manufacturer Part Number, Price & Unit of Measure.
One of the best identifiers to capture & analyze proper spend.
Used to negotiate better contracts.
Several EPM queries have been developed based on the use of item IDs.
One of the primary advantages of using an item ID is the item’s association to a specific contract and specific vendor or vendors.
The item ID contains purchasing attributes such as Manufacturer, Manufacturer Part Number, Price and Unit of Measure.
The item ID is one of the best identifiers to capture and analyze proper spend and negotiate better contracts.
Another advantage realized is a reduction in rogue spending. Agencies have been able to better manage spending by reducing the number of options (PENS & PENCILS).
Several EPM queries have been developed based on the use of item IDs.
39
39
Within Core-CT there are Units of Measure which are specific to the applicable modules – Purchasing Unit of Measure and Standard Unit of Measure.
When requesting Catalog Management item IDs, be cognizant of the fact vendors may supply product with one UOM when the agency itself issues it out at using a different UOM.
Ex. A case of glass cleaner is purchased through ePro but the business unit issues it out per can.
Please contact our help desk ([email protected]) if current Catalog Management item IDs have units of measure that do not support your operation. We will work with you to meet your needs.
Units of MeasureUnits of Measure
When establishing Catalog Management item IDs, be cognizant of the fact that vendors may supply product in bulk packages, such as case, but your department may wish to distribute in a smaller unit, such as box.
Setting up the correct Standard Unit of Measure for an item is important because using an incorrect UOM can cause errors on the MSR and during the Demand Fulfillment process.
The Inventory Item UOM Change Request Form can be found on the Core-CT home page (Financials User>Inventory)

Developed EPM QueriesDeveloped EPM QueriesHere are a few of the public queries that have been developed based on agency specific needs:
CT_DAS_ALL_ITEMS_W_WO_BUIdentifies active catalog items associated with a contract or vendor and if items are active in the BU
CT_DAS_CATALOG_ITMS_BY_CNTRCTDisplays all items associated with a contract
CT_DAS_INV_ITEMS_BY_CONTRACTDisplays all Inventory items associated with a contract
CT_DOC_INV_USAGE_INFO_ITEM_IDprovides item usage, shipping and accounting info
DOTOTH_11_STORES_CATALOGList of items and item info by BU
1. Identifies active catalog items associated with a contract or vendor, tells if items are active in BU
2. Displays all items associated with a contract3. Displays all Inventory items associated with a contract4. Item usage, shipping and accounting info5. List of items and item info by BU
During the past few years we have worked with several agencies to develop reports based on agency specific needs.
We have also been fortunate to leverage the knowledge gained and modify existing queries for the betterment of all.

World CafWorld CafééA meeting involving agency staff, DAS Procurement and Core-CT together to discuss “How can we do better?”
Participants were from Department of Corrections, Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Developmental Services, Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services, Department of Children and Families, Department of Transportation
Outcome: a new World Café Group is being formed and we have common themes to begin to work on
The World Café brought DAS Procurement Staff, Agency Staff, and Core-CT together to explore and discuss How can we do better? There were 4 tables and each table had a moderator and recorder of notes, each table explored a different question that the participants discussed and shared ideas on. The participants traveled to each table for a defined period of time. After the participants made it through each table, there was a town meeting to see if we had common themes amongst the groups participating. Yes there was. We now are reviewing the common themes and will be creating a World CaféGroup to discuss the common themes to see how we can make improvements to Contracting and business processes, Training & outreach, and to potentially modifications to the system that will enhance the user experience. Stay tuned for more…and remember if asked to participate Jump at the Opportunity!

Voucher Comments – Explanations must be provided in the comments link identifying the reason for the Adjustment, Reversal, or Journal Vouchers. A point of contact should also be listed. This allows an auditor to contact you directly for more details if necessary. Generally, this link is like a ‘Post-It’ note, reminding you of anything special about this voucher. Adj vouchers resulting from credit or debit memos do not require voucher comments.Closing Vouchers - When a voucher is created in error, and you simply want it 'gone,' you can delete it, as long as it has not been voucher posted.Once a voucher has progressed through the stage of voucher post, and you do not want it to proceed to payment, it must be updated to a 'Closed' status. Both agency AP staff and the Office of the State Comptroller, Accounts Payable Division, take steps to accomplish a voucher closure. Make use of the UPK for the topic, ‘Voucher Closure,’ for detailed steps. The APD staff process voucher closures at the end of each month by locating all vouchers with Payment Note, “TO BE CLOSED BY OSC.” No email is necessary. However, if funds from this closure are needed immediately, send an email to OSC-APD.
Voucher Activity Report – This report was updated earlier this year. We will go over the details in another slide
Bundles 2011 – AP (along with the other modules) is in the midst of testing Bundles #30 – 38. They will be applied to the Production environment sometime in March. This group of bundles has many fixes to Withholding, the Excel Upload process, AP Match, payments and vouchers.

Do not dispatch Contracts
All contracts must have Max Amounts
Once a Contract has been created and saved, you should never make changes to the “Allow for Open Item Reference”checkbox. Changing the checkbox causes the contract to calculate incorrectly, which will cause negative amounts.

Although you can now add funds to fully matched lines, please note:
Never add funds to an over expended line – as always, do a change order to your PO prior to creating a voucher so that encumbrances will be properly reflected. Over Expending a line takes funds directly from the unencumbered funds WITHOUT creating PO accounting entries.
You must have funds available on each distribution that you intend to roll – fully matched lines do not qualify to roll.

Prompt Payment DiscountsPrompt Payment Discounts
Review Contract Award Document to identify prompt payment discounts (i.e., 3%10/net 45) Could vary by Vendor.
Upon Receipt of Invoice, if accurate, work to make payment within discount timeframes.
Huge Opportunity for Savings!
If you’re typically paying in 15 days, and the discount kicks in at 10 days, strive to pay within 10 days of receipt to obtain discount.The state is paying right now at an average of 13 days. Contract payment terms are typically Net 45/ Net 30 for SBE/MBE;Many Contracts have discount structures built into payment terms.DAS will be negotiating more discount terms for prompt payments.
66
66
Invoice DiscrepanciesInvoice Discrepancies
Prior to Making a Purchase – Review Contract to ensure correct contract Price is utilized on PO
If Invoice is less than PO amount, pay the lower amount;
If Invoice is more than PO amount, research before making payment, contact Core-CT Helpdesk to validate pricing and advise of Vendor Invoice breach.
Catalog Contracts – May need to get help desk involved to ensure it’s not user error when creating the requisition.
-Many invoices being paid at higher amount than should; Losing Savings.-Agency Purchasers and Agency Payers should be communicating when discrepancies arise.-When in doubt, contact Core-CT HELPDESK (catalog items) or DAS/Procurement Contract Specialist for Vendor Invoicing issues (non-catalog items).

The APD staff process voucher closures at the end of each month by locating all vouchers with Payment Note, “TO BE CLOSED BY OSC.” No email is necessary. However, if funds from this closure are needed immediately, send an email to OSC-APD.
Voucher Activity Report – This report was updated earlier this year. We will go over the details in another slide
Bundles 2011 – AP (along with the other modules) is in the midst of testing Bundles #30 – 38. They will be applied to the Production environment sometime in March. This group of bundles has many fixes to Withholding, the Excel Upload process, AP Match, payments and vouchers.

SS#s, Client #s, Names, etc.
Discounts -Ensure Prompt Payment Discounts are awarded
Journal Vouchers -Always insert related Voucher ID
Vendor Self Serve –Program is expanding
APD Audit Training –To review repeating errors
Entering ‘Sensitive’ information: We have all heard how the new administration stresses the importance of transparency. This trickles down to voucher processors and how vouchers are set up. Items like social security numbers, credit card numbers, dates of birth, and even client names are information you would not want made public for whatever reasons should not be used; much of what we manage as government employees can be obtained through an Freedom of Information request. This information will be included in a searchable database. Searching for personal information using key words results in data similar to ‘googling’ by a key word. Remember this when creating your vouchers! Discounts: Agencies are urged to take prompt payment discounts. In FY 2010, the average payment time for all agencies was 15.6 calendar days. This is a rapid turnaround time, so reducing the payment time by another few days to those vendors offering a discount shouldn't be too difficult. Generally, the payment terms will default from contracts and POs to the voucher. Only those vendors that have different discount methods (Sysco) should be treated differently. Now more than ever, taking advantage of discounts is our priority. APD has begun reviewing payments with lost discounts.
Journal Vouchers: Agencies are being reminded to always insert the related voucher. You need the original voucher to create the journal voucher, since it doesn’t copy coding like the adjustment voucher and reversal voucher. IMPORTANT REMINDER: A Journal voucher is a correction to ONE original voucher. There must be a one-to-one relationship for any adjusting style voucher. The vendor must be the SAME vendor as was on the original voucher. Creating a ‘group’ journal voucher to reclassify coding on a listing of vouchers (to various vendors) is absolutely not allowed. The audit trail has been lost when this is done. APD will begin citing agencies that do not have a related voucher listed. Expect to be contacted if you create ‘group’ journal vouchers.
Vendor Self Serve: OSC will be expanding the program to all interested vendors. We are modifying our OSC APD website to promote VSS. Agency AP staff is encouraged to direct vendors calling for payment/invoice information to the OSC website to consider enlisting in the VSS program. VSS is a good tool for the vendor to reconcile their payments.
APD Audit Training: Beginning in February, the APD Audit Section will be contacting agencies to attend training sessions. At the training sessions APD will review the specific repetitive errors detected in recent monthly audits and instruct agency users of the required corrective measures. If your agency feels it needs help with specific problems, sign up for this training. Bring your issue details to the training.

AP AP –– Managing PaymentsManaging PaymentsReviewing Vouchers for Discounts
Payment terms for the State of Connecticut default to ‘Due Now.’ This will schedule the payment for ‘today’ when you save the voucher. If you create a voucher from a source document (PO Contract), the term might populate with an incentive pay term. This term should NOT be overwritten unless the processor knows that it should be. The Pay Term field should always be reviewed when creating ANY voucher.The example above is a voucher created on 10/04/2010 with a pay term of 1.0/10-30 (1% discount if paid in 10 days, or net if paid in 30 days).The discount pay term gives incentive for the agency to get the payment out in time for the discount to be awarded, thus reducing the payment.The basis date for determining the discount award is the Invoice Date. The Discount listed on the Payments Page is not what was awarded, it is what will be awarded if the voucher is paid within the parameters of the term.Using the Invoice Date as the basis date, and comparing the Discount Due date to the Payment Date, do you believe the discount was awarded or lost?(Link to Payment Inquiry for the answer)

Analyzing Your Discounted Payments
AP AP –– Managing PaymentsManaging Payments
Compares Vouchers for Invoice Dt to Entered Dt and to Payment Dt
Shows vouchers that don’t agree with Contract Pay Terms
The first EPM query compares the basis date for awarding a discount on a pay term (the Invoice Date) with the date the voucher was entered, and also to the date of the payment. It is so important that a voucher be entered quickly after receipt of the invoice and continue quickly through to payment. This query shows you where vouchers may be held up, or who may be holding them up.
To help agencies push vouchers quickly through AP in CORE and have them ready for the morning PayCycle, we have added an AP_MATCH process at 7AM every weekday.
The query revealing different pay terms between the contract and voucher is important when awarding discounts from vouchers created from PO Contracts, and should be run on a regular basis.

You may want to transfer assets retroactively if they were transferred during a prior accounting period, but are not yet entered in Asset Management. To do this, enter the transaction and accounting dates on the Main Transaction page and enter the appropriate cost information in the Edit Cost Information group box. The system will create correcting entries that back out depreciation from the original department for the period between the transaction date and the accounting date. Prior period depreciation for that same period will be posted for the new department. Denotes the date this transaction occurred. Example: An asset was purchased and placed into service on 15 April, 1997, but was added to the system on 5 June, 1997. The company wanted the add to hit the general ledger for period 5 (May). In this example the transaction date would be 15 April, 1997. The accounting date most likely would be 31 May, 1997.
