22 WASBO AP Manual, January

Minimum requirements of any invoice: description, detailed pricing, sales tax, freight, etc. 3. Three-way match: PO to invoice to receiving document in the traditional purchase to pay cycle. WASBO AP Manual, January

24 Accounts Payable vendor invoice audits checklist: Three-way match complete Invoice is not a duplicate Total is correct Shipping and handling are correct Sales tax added at the correct rate Is this a public works contract requiring retainage to be held? WASBO AP Manual, January

25 Accounts Payable checklist continued: Current charges with no brought-forward balances. Purchase order encumbrance sufficient to cover the current invoice or within the district s allowed variance (example: ten percent over encumbrance). Invoice pricing matches quote or bid. WASBO AP Manual, January

26 Accounts Payable checklist continued: Account code is correct per the district chart-ofaccounts and state account code requirements of program, activity, and object. Determine the fiscal year for processing. WASBO AP Manual, January

30 Paperless Invoice Processing WASBO AP Manual, January

31 This section answers the following questions: Original invoice? What is an original invoice? Who can tell the difference between an original and a copy? Why do we care? What is acceptable as a source document in the 21 st century? WASBO AP Manual, January

32 Invoices are received in your district by the following methods: 1. Vendor s an image of an invoice (KCDA). 2. Vendor uploads an invoice to a district s vendor portal (new technology developing). 3. Vendor provides a district with a customer portable to upload invoices (FSA, Fisher Scientific, Pitney Bowes) WASBO AP Manual, January

33 Rather than images, you may also be receiving your invoices by software data files: 1. Upload from purchasing card software. 2. Upload from utility management systems. Districts may already be receiving up to 50% of their invoices in an electronic format. WASBO AP Manual, January

34 Still getting paper invoices in the US Mail? Here s an example of adopting a paperless accounts payable process for those invoices: 1. Scan invoice on a desktop scanner. 2. Image is named and filed on desktop or service. 3. Image is routed to user for receipt verification. 4. On-line receiving is verified. WASBO AP Manual, January

35 5. Invoice image is viewed on one computer monitor and second monitor is used to enter invoice data into accounts payable data entry screens. 6. The scanned invoice image is then attached to the accounts payable record within the district s software. 7. The invoice image is viewed by a drill-down of the transaction on fiscal reports run to the screen. WASBO AP Manual, January

36 Technology is available today. Need to complete a DAD application with the Secretary of State (details in AP Manual). Paper invoices are thrown away! Scanned images of invoices are your source document. When your auditor selects an accounts payable transaction for audit, print a copy or the scanned image. FYI SAO is already paperless! WASBO AP Manual, January

37 Charge Cards and Purchasing Cards WASBO AP Manual, January

38 This section garnered a lot of interest from many who previewed the manual. Defines purchasing cards, credit cards, travel and fuel cards. Legal references. Best practices. Some duplication with the Purchasing Handbook. Focuses on payment processing and auditing side in Accounts Payable. WASBO AP Manual, January

39 Best Practices to mitigate risk and alleviate workload in AP: Upload the district s chart-of-accounts into the bank software. Assign default account codes for each cardholder. Utilize the on-line approval process available in bank software. Upload monthly spending activity into the district s software. Upload monthly spending activity in detail, including merchant s name. WASBO AP Manual, January

40 Accounts Payable checklist: Verify that all cardholders with current transactions have submitted the required reconciliations. Verify all appropriate signatures or on-line approvals are included. Verify the account codes are correct per the district s chart-of-accounts, person responsible, and state account code requirements of program, activity and object. WASBO AP Manual, January

41 Accounts Payable checklist continued: Verify that original, itemized receipts are attached for every transaction. Verify that the items purchased have a clear district purpose. Verify that any merchandise shipments went to a district location. Verify that sales tax has been paid, if due, and add use tax if not. WASBO AP Manual, January

42 Accounts Payable checklist continued: Verify that federal excise tax has not been charged on gas credit cards. Determine the fiscal year for processing. WASBO AP Manual, January
