1 Purchase to Pay Processes 1.1 Non Catalogue Requisition Process A Non-Catalogue request should only be created if the item cannot be found in the Smart Forms. Any procurement activity should be done following Procurement best practice principles, therefore all non-catalogue requisitions for goods and services are routed to the UK SBS Procurement Teams. Action Note: All categories that do not start ZZ-Funding take this route, so the category appropriate to the type of spend should be selected. A list of all the categories and associated VAT and Account Codes is available on the BIS Intranet. Page 1
1. Non-Catalogue requisitions are created using iprocurement. 2. If the requisition is for Consultancy or Research a CARA Approval reference number must be obtained which must be recorded on the requisition. 3. Oracle will automatically send Non-Catalogue requisitions to the Quality Assurance (QA) Team in UK SBS Billingham to check VAT, accounting and transparency details. 4. Upon QA approval, Oracle will automatically send an email alerting your approver to authorise the order. The approver is your budget holder. The Budget holder will check that: There is sufficient headroom in the budget They have the paper delegation for this request to purchase The Requestor should be asking to make expenditure against this Cost Centre and is authorised to request this purchase 5. When a non-catalogue request has been approved, your requisition will go to the Procurement Team, who are responsible for ensuring that the business need is met following the appropriate procurement process and they then convert the requisition to a Purchase Order. 6. The supplier then will process the order and deliver the goods or services and then invoice your organisation c/o UK SBS in Billingham. 7. Once goods or services are received satisfactorily, you must confirm this by completing a receipt for them in iprocurement. This is the point of consumption of the resource and the expense is recognised on the accounts. The supplier s invoice will not be paid until you have done this. Page 2
8. On receipt of the invoice at UK SBS, the invoice is scanned and attached to the supplier invoice details recorded in Oracle. UK SBS Finance then processes and pays the supplier s invoice, subject to the three way match: All invoices will need to be sent to UK SBS in Billingham so that they can get scanned onto Oracle.

1.2 Smart Form Requisition Process 1. Smart Form requisitions are created using iprocurement 2. Oracle will automatically send smart form requisitions to the Quality Assurance (QA) Team in UK SBS Billingham to check VAT, accounting and transparency details 3. Upon QA approval, Oracle will automatically send an email alerting your approver to authorise the order The approver is your budget holder. The Budget holder will check that: There is sufficient headroom in the budget They have the paper delegation for this request to purchase The Requestor should be asking to make expenditure against this Cost Centre and is authorised to request this purchase 4. When a smart form request has been approved, a purchase order is created automatically and sent to the supplier 5. The supplier then will process the order and deliver the goods or services and then invoice your organisation c/o UK SBS in Billingham Page 4
6. Once goods or services are received satisfactorily, you must confirm this by completing a receipt for them in iprocurement This is the point of consumption of the resource and the expense is recognised on the accounts. The supplier s invoice will not be paid until you have done this. 7. On receipt of the invoice at UK SBS, the invoice is scanned and attached to the supplier invoice details recorded in Oracle. UK SBS Finance then processes and pays the supplier s invoice, subject to the three way match: All invoices will need to be sent to UK SBS in Billingham so that they can get scanned onto Oracle.

1.3 Non-Procurement and Government Funding Requisition Process These transactions are related to work that the Department does as a Government organisation that does not have any procurement requirement. Examples are Grants, Grant in Aid, International Subscriptions. These transactions are often high value and have very specific accounting requirements and the Finance Change Forum therefore requested that the finance teams have the ability to review before they are complete, as they would have done on Mentor with the old KC3 approval point. This approval comes before the Budget Holder agreement in the process. Action Note: For Government Funding Transactions, the category always begins ZZ-Funding. A list of all the categories and associated VAT and Account Codes is available on the BIS Intranet. 1. Government Funding requisitions are created using iprocurement 2. Upon submission, Oracle will automatically send an email alerting your Group Finance Team to review the order 3. When a Government Funding non-catalogue request has been approved by your Group Finance Team, your requisition will go to UK SBS Billingham to perform the QA check Page 6
4. When a Government Funding non-catalogue request has been approved by both Group Finance and the QA Team, your requisition will go to the Budget Holder for approval 5. On approval, UK SBS Billingham will then create the Purchase Order 6. The Funding Recipient will then meet the various milestones and apply for payment 7. Once the Funding Recipient has successfully achieved key milestones and applies for payment, you must confirm that the Funding conditions have been met by completing a receipt for them in iprocurement This is the point of consumption of the resource and the expense is recognised on the accounts. The recipient s request for payment will not be paid until you have done this. 8. On receipt of the AP16 - request for payment at UK SBS or supplier invoice, the request is scanned and attached to the supplier invoice details recorded in Oracle. UK SBS Finance then processes and pays the funding request, subject to the three way match: Page 7
2 Purchase Order Management - Receipting Action Note: Once the goods or service have been received it is the responsibility of the originator to ensure the necessary receipting is carried out within Oracle. Receipting your goods or service on Oracle gives the UK SBS clearance to pay for your purchase. If items are not receipted then the suppliers invoice will go on hold and will not be paid for by UK SBS. The amount you receipt is the amount that you allocate to your budget regardless what the supplier is paid. If you receipt more than what you ve physically received (or been invoiced) then it appears that you ve spent more on your budget than you actually have. To correct this you can correct the receipts see chapter 10.1. If you receipt less than the invoiced amount, the system will assume you have been overbilled and place the invoice on hold. In order for the invoice to be matched and paid, you may need to increase the value of the Purchase Order see chapter 11.2. 2.1 Receipting Tips Always receipt based on the Requisition/Purchase Order line Unit. (E.g. Each, Currency) Receipt items as soon as you receive them - this will ensure Suppliers are paid promptly Never receipt items that you haven t received or aren t yet willing to pay for: Once a receipt is created any invoices received, up to the value of your receipt, will be paid Never over receipt a line Instead create partial receipts as outlined in this guide Receipting the correct amount will also ensure the supplier cannot overbill you Action Note: Agency Staff (E.g. Capita) and Contractors MUST be receipted weekly and by no later than the last working day of the current month, otherwise the costs will not appear in the correct month. Civil Service Learning (CSL) Purchase Orders must be receipted on the date of the course and by no later than the last day of the month. Action Note: The Open Purchase Order report must be run on a regular basis, at least once a month to review what has been receipted and still to be receipted. The Open Purchase Order report is accessed from the responsibility Your Organisation OBIEE Reports PO Page 8

4 Purchase Order Management - Amendments & Corrections The iprocurement Change Functionality allows you to decrease the value, amend the need by date or cancel requisition lines, thus giving you control over the management of your Purchase Orders. Users are responsible for amending and maintaining their own requisitions. iprocurement allows the following amendments: Amend/Correct receipting Increase and decrease quantity/amount Change the Need-By Date Cancel lines You are only able to amend or correct your own requisitions. If you need to amend someone else s requisition you will need to complete a Service Request. The ability to amend a requisition is disabled if your requisition has been closed or fully receipted. On occasion Oracle will not accept any changes using this method if the invoice has been received or if a receipt has been created. A PO line should only be cancelled when there has been no activity (i.e. No Receipts or Invoices). If a line already has activity you must ensure the quantity received is equal to the quantity billed, and then submit a Service Request asking for the line or PO to be finally closed. Action Note: If you need to increase the value of your order it is recommended that you create another requisition with the extra value on it. These requisitions must have a note to buyer, asking them to add the requisition to an existing order. Don t forget to state the original PO number! Page 16
