17 Recording the return of received items Purchasing and Accounts Payable Process The following lists and describes the overall process involved in using the Purchasing and Accounts Payable product. The process shown below is an example and is not intended as policy guidance. Your institution's Purchasing and Accounts Payable process may vary. 1. The Purchasing Manager: Reviews approved requisitions to determine appropriate vendors for each Optionally assigns buyers to the approved requisitions by station number 2. The Buyer: Assigns approved items from the requisition to a purchase order Issues the purchase order to the selected vendor 3. The System: Creates an encumbrance for each account Creates a Receiving record for each item and account 4. The Receiving Clerk: Verifies received items were ordered Enters confirming information into the Receiving record 5. The Accounts Payable Clerk: Matches the invoice to the purchase order item Submits the invoice for payment 6. The system: Generates a check to pay the invoice, based on the invoice due date Updates the general ledger accounts Creates a Fixed Asset record for fixed assets Purchasing and Accounts Payable 5 Getting Started

18 Status of Purchase Orders and Invoices Jenzabar CX tracks where a document is in the process flow of a purchase order or invoice by its status code. The following diagram shows how status codes change as the document flows through the process. Below the diagram is an explanation of the different status codes. Submit Document No approval required S C N Submit Document Approval required I Approved A Query and Submit approved document Denied N S C N - New is the status code for a newly created document and for a denied document. A document can be modified and submitted while its status is N. If a document is denied during the approval process, the system will change the status back to N so that the user can make modifications and re-submit it for approval. You should delete the document if it is not going to be re-submitted. Note: You cannot query a document that has been deleted. S - Submitted is the status code for a document when processing is complete. If a document requires no approval, the system changes the status from N to S when you select the Submit command. If a document requires approval, you are notified by when the document reaches final approval. At that time you must Query the document and select the Submit command. The system then changes the document status from A to S. I - In process is the status code for a document when it is in the approval process. When you select the Submit command for a document that requires approval, the system will change the status from N to I. A - Approved is the status code for a document that needed approval and was approved by all approvers. When the last approver marks the document as approved, the system changes the status from I to A. Getting Started 6 Purchasing and Accounts Payable

19 Form Types C - Closed is the status code for a purchase order after the encumbrance has been relieved. Other Status Codes There are different status codes for deleted documents: T - A Terminated status is assigned when you Delete a submitted purchase order. This document can be queried and reviewed. V - A Void status is assigned when you Delete a submitted invoice. This document can be queried and reviewed. X - A status code of X is assigned when you Delete a new purchase order or invoice. This document cannot be queried and reviewed by the end user, but the system maintains the associated records behind the scenes. R - A Replaced status is assigned for the purpose of maintaining an audit trail when you Backout an invoice or create a Change Order for a purchase order. These document records are stored behind the scenes. There are four basic form types in the Purchasing application. These form types are as follows: Blanket Purchase Orders (PB) Invoices (PI) Open Purchase Orders (PO) Purchase Orders (PP) The selection of the purchase order type affects the following: Which fields are active on the current screen The sequence for the numbering of purchase orders Prerequisite Tasks Use the following checklist to ensure that you have reviewed all required tasks before you begin using Purchasing and Accounts Payable.
