Exception Handler Invoice Manager
Normally the first Finance and Accounting (F&A) Approver
Ensures the invoice should be approved
Responsible for reconciling all exceptions Ensures the transaction date is accurate
Ensures the invoice matches the terms of the order
Last agency approver of the invoice
Ensures goods were received or services were approved
FLAIR username and password are recorded in FLAIR when the IR is approved
Ensures that the transaction date is accurate
If DFS returns the IR for additional information, the Invoice Manager is added to the approval flow

An IR begins when a invoice is entered into MFMP.
There are two ways to create an IR:
Invoice eForm (agency creation)
• Using the paper invoice, the agency enters the invoice into MFMP.
• Department of Financial Services (DFS) requires a scanned image of the invoice to be attached.
• We recommend attaching any supporting documentation. eInvoice (vendor creation)
• Also known as a PO flip or ASN invoice.
• Vendors can submit invoices electronically.
• A paper copy of the invoice is not required by DFS.
F&A then audits and rejects or approves the IR for payment.

Advantages for agencies processing eInvoices include:Time: You do not need to create an Invoice eForm.Paperless: No need to scan attachments.No manual processing: Reduce invoice data entry requirements for state
agencies.Instant communication: Vendors are notified systematically if an invoice is
rejected and can view agency comments as to the reason for rejection.Environmentally friendly: Reduction in paper flow.Efficiency: Improved data accuracy (no keying mistakes).
Advantages for vendors using eInvoices include:Reduced costsSave timeManage more effectivelyFaster paymentsEnvironmentally friendly

Invoice Reconciliation: Invoice eForms
Invoice eForms are electronic versions of a vendor’s paper invoices.
Invoices for services
When you create and submit an invoice for services, the IR adds the requester as the first approver for the invoice.
To create an Invoice eForm:
Log in to MFMP with your username and password.Under Create on the shortcut menu, Click ‘Company eForm.’ Select ‘Invoice eForm.’
Page - 9October 21, 2010
Page - 10
Invoice Reconciliation: Invoice eForms
Next, complete three basic steps: Invoice Header Invoice Lines Summary
Invoice Header Title should be completed based
on agency naming conventions. Supplier Invoice # - The last nine
digits will be recorded in FLAIR. Services Start and End Dates
are required by DFS for a service invoice.
Vendor location must match the location on the order.
Page - 10October 21, 2010
Page - 11
Invoice Lines Select ‘purchase order’ Generate invoice
• Ensure the correct line number is chosen.
• Verify quantity, update to match the vendor invoice.
• Verify the unit price is accurate with the vendor invoice.
Summary Enter comments as required to ensure
payment or per agency standards Add attachments as required by DFS
for payment. Common error messages you may receive
The sum of the lines does not add up to the total.
An invoice already exists for this supplier and invoice number.
Invoice Reconciliation: Invoice eForms
Page - 11October 21, 2010
Page - 12
The Invoice eForm or eInvoice generates the IR.
Discrepancies or differences between the order, invoice, and receipt (if applicable) are listed on the IR as exceptions.
All exceptions must be reconciled before the IR can be approved for payment.
MFMP handles services differently than commodities. MFMP performs a three-way match for commodities: invoice compared to
the order and the receipt. MFMP performs a two-way match for services: invoice compared to the
order.
Invoice Reconciliation: Invoice eForms
Page - 12October 21, 2010
Page - 13
Header Level exceptions are differences for the entire invoice.
Amount Variance• The total cost of the invoice is different than the total cost of the purchase
order.• This variance occurs when you have a partial payment for an order.
Auto Reject Amount Variance• The invoice's amount, $128.04000USD, does not match the purchase order's
amount, $0.00000USD.
Invoice Reconciliation Already Exists• An IR with the same invoice number and supplier already exists. This could be
a result of the vendor having already sent an electronic invoice.– If this occurs, the IR will be placed into auto-reject status
PCard Order• Invalid invoices created from PCard orders are not accepted.
Invoice Reconciliation: Exceptions
Page - 13October 21, 2010
Page - 14
Line Item exceptions are differences at the individual line level.
Accounting Verification • Every IR will have this exception; accounting information must be verified
before accepting this exception.
Quantity Variance• The quantity on the invoice line item is different from the quantity left to
invoice on the order line item.
Price Variance• The price on the invoice line item is different from the price on the order
line item.
Received Quantity Variance • The quantity field on the invoice line item is different from the quantity left
to invoice on the receipt line item.

An IR includes six components: Exceptions: Performs the match and displays the discrepancies. Approval Flow: Defines who is required to approve and who has approved. Invoice: Details the invoice. Order: Offers direct access to the PO. Receipt: Captures all receiving reports (If PO is for service, this tab will be
blank). History: Details and records all activity on the IR.

The ‘PO Balance’ shows the current remaining balance of the order. It is reduced when an IR moves to Paid status.
All IRs in Paid status can be tracked in the payment history, including IRs marked ‘Paid in FLAIR.’
An IR in Reconciling, Approving, or Rejecting status is not recorded as part of the payment history.
Cancelled warrants can also be tracked and recorded by using the Payment Update eForm.

If an invoice is not acted on within five days, the supervisor of the active approver in the approval flow receives an Escalation Warning notification.
If the approver does not act or edit the transaction by day 10, the transaction escalates to their supervisor for approval.
Transactions sitting with roles do not escalate.

•You can group items by status, supplier, etc. to assist in prioritizing your work.
•By Clicking the Table Options menu, you can Show / Hide fields, Group, and/or Export to Excel within your queue.
NOTE: •The IR number is comprised of two parts: the invoice number that was entered on the invoice eForm (eInvoice) and a seven digit sequence number.
•When referring to the IR, use the sequence number.

Each time an IR is approved or a Release Encumbrance eForm is submitted, MFMP sends the customer’s FLAIR username and password to FLAIR.
When a password is updated in FLAIR, complete a FLAIR Login Information eForm to record the FLAIR information.
If you do not complete this eForm, approved transactions will not pass FLAIR successfully.

MFMP pre-audits your invoice against the order and receipt (if a commodity).
All discrepancies display exceptions for you to reconcileReconciling is “auditing” the invoice.
By approving the invoice, you are bypassing the requirement to enter the information into FLAIR.
Typical Audit Steps
MFMP Audit Steps
Reconciling an IR
Page - 25October 21, 2010
Page - 26
During the reconciliation process, you can make corrections to the IR: If you select an incorrect line from the order, change it using the Manual
Match function. Reject the entire invoice if it is incorrect. Dispute a line of an invoice instead of rejecting the entire invoice
• If the invoice is an eInvoice, the vendor will receive any comments entered.
Refer the IR to someone else if you ‘Cannot Resolve’ it. Change the vendor sequence number.

The requester or central receiver completes the receipt for commodities.
If receipts are completed incorrectly, negative receiving enables customers to correct a quantity error from a previous receipt.
An error message is initiated to reject the change if payment was made.
If the item was received and paid in error, the receiver will need to communicate that information with their F&A staff.
The On Behalf of or Requester approves the services (orders with commodity codes beginning with “9”) by approving the IR before the reconciliation process begins.

The ‘Edit Accounting’ group allows you to validate/update all accounting including: Organization code Expansion option Object code Encumbrance number Encumbrance line number
Mark the transaction with an ‘F’ in the ‘Final Payment Indicator’ if it is the final payment to be processed on an encumbered order.
Only use the ‘Final Payment Indicator’ for orders encumbered through MFMP.
Insert the grouping character Grouping character has to be entered on each line.
Create ‘Split Accounting’ to pay the IR line from multiple funding sources Updates to the accounting information on an IR created from a requisition are
completed by clicking on the ‘Split Accounting’ button.

Customers with the Invoicing group can delete a disbursement (voucher) before the warrant is issued by completing the Delete Disbursement eForm.
Disbursement deletions must be performed the same day as receiving the Departmental FLAIR confirmation message on the IR prior to FLAIR going down for the day.
Once Central FLAIR approves the disbursement, the disbursement cannot be deleted through MFMP.
A comment will be automatically added to the IR when the eForm is successful.
This will not restore the FLAIR encumbrance nor restore the amount to the PO.
Audit Process

If you need to process payments directly in FLAIR (i.e., JT payments), mark the ‘Payment Completed in FLAIR’ check box.
Update payments that have been completed manually in FLAIR to include the warrant number and warrant date via the Payment Update eForm.
As FLAIR approves a MFMP IR, a message is recorded.
If the IR was not successful, a message will also be recorded.
Additional information about the FLAIR failure is available by viewing the line detail information at the bottom of the IR.

Follow the guidelines of CFO Memorandum 03 2004-2005 and CFO Memorandum 01 2010-2011 for Contract Summary Forms. Contract Summary Forms are not required in MFMP.
Amendment to CFOM 01 in 2007-2008 provides further clarification of the 2004-2005 memo.

Denied requisitions can have an impact on F&A. When a requisition is denied by FLAIR Integration, it is returned to the
requester in their Denied status folder. Withdraw requisitions denied by FLAIR in order to ensure the encumbrance
balance with FLAIR remains correct.
MFMP processes change orders with FLAIR Integration by: Adding new lines (TR 60) first. Updating existing line (TR 61) second.
The updates to the encumbrance might not be a result of the requester making changes if invoices were paid directly in FLAIR without notifying MFMP, resulting in different encumbrance balances.
FLAIR
Page - 34October 21, 2010
Page - 35
MFMP allows an IR to process lines that are encumbered (TR 70) or unencumbered (TR 51), but not both. There are times when you may need to override the disbursement transaction
type.
A transaction can be overridden: By checking or unchecking the ‘Encumber Funds’ box on the accounting
details page. If the disbursement transaction type is changed from encumbered to
unencumbered, it may be necessary to use the Release Encumbrance eForm to release the remaining funds.

Example: An encumbered order was a one-line purchase order for three boxes of building
materials. The vendor ships the three boxes of materials, but also invoices you on a separate line for shipping.
If a change order is not processed (recommended), adding this line to the order and to FLAIR, the shipping will need to be added as a separate line on the IR.
If the IR is submitting two lines to FLAIR (line one encumbered, line two not encumbered), it will fail FLAIR.
• This can be prevented by ensuring both lines are marked as encumbered or unencumbered.
You can manually enter the encumbrance number and encumbrance line number.

Line Item Comment – Password Not On File - This occurs when your FLAIR password has been reset and/or expired and not updated in MFMP.
In order to successfully process this IR you will need to complete a FLAIR Login Information eForm in MFMP to update your password.
Once this form has been completed, you should be able to complete the IR.

Use the CO No Workflow group to make accounting changes to an order without additional approvals.
There are limited changes that this group can make and the workflow will not be generated.
If you make a change other than one of the allowed fields, an approval workflow will generate.
If the order was originally marked with a ‘Delay Purchase Until’ or a ‘Need By’ date that has passed, delete the date.
If you change the ‘Delay Purchase Until’ or ‘Need By’ dates, MFMP will route the order through the original workflow.

There are four ways to update encumbrances in MFMP:
Change order to reduce the encumbered amount can be submitted and is the only method that notifies the vendor of the change in obligation.
Final Payment Indicator is used when approving an IR for payment to unencumber the remaining encumbrance balance.
Release Encumbrance eForm is used to release all the remaining funds associated on an order.
Release Encumbrance Request Form is submitted to the CSD to release the encumbrance if the Release Encumbrance eForm fails.

Complete an IR for all order or master agreement (MA) payments:
Benefit from payment history tracking
One-stop for research
• Payment, procurement, and receiving information all in one location
MFMP and FLAIR remain balanced
Change orders can result in an overstated encumbrance.
• If payments are made directly in FLAIR, MFMP is not aware of those reductions.
• When a change order is sent to FLAIR, MFMP amends the FLAIR balance so that it is in synch with the MFMP total.
Keeping FLAIR / MFMP Balanced

It is important to create and reconcile IRs for MFMP orders to reduce potential encumbrance balance inaccuracies.
When you encumber a requisition and process your payment through MFMP, MFMP updates FLAIR.
If a change order is created, MFMP recalculates the amount and updates FLAIR.

Confidential information is prohibited from being included in MFMP. This includes information in the comments field, line item description and attachments. Including such information in MFMP may violate Section 119.071, F.S., as well as comparable federal regulations relating to confidentiality such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Agency-specific questions about confidential information should be directed to their agency purchasing office or General Counsel office.
It is the agency’s responsibility to redact this information prior to posting it to MFMP. Workflow approvals that are included in MFMP offer the opportunity for multiple customers to identify and take action against a transaction.
If confidential information is found, complete the Confidential Information Purge Request form posted on the MFMP toolkit http://dms.MyFlorida.com/buyertoolkit under MFMP Forms.

Rule 60A-1.032 Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), allows for the following exemptions to the Transaction Fee for vendors.
Tips & Tricks
Agencies can complete a Transaction Level exemption on the requisition or IR.
In order to see the ‘Transaction Fee Exempt’ checkbox a customer must have the ‘Transaction Fee Exempt’ group in their profile.October 21, 2010
Page - 57
In addition to the standard exemptions, Rule 60A-1.032 FAC authorizes that DMS State Purchasing Director can approve a particular contract exempt from the transaction fee in advance of the procurement.
The procurement must meet two elements: Critical to the agency’s mission or necessary for the public health, safety, or
welfare; and Imposition of the fee would prevent the consummation of the transaction.
To request a contract exemption, complete PUR 3778 which is located on the MFMP buyer toolkit.
• PUR 3778 must be certified by the agency head as per Rule 60A-1.032(2), F.A.C.
Agencies should complete the applicable form (either PUR 3777 or 3778) to confirm approval of an ongoing transaction fee exemption.

An IR may split onto multiple vouchers for the following reasons:
The ‘Grouping Character’ was entered on some but not all of the lines.
• The grouping character works as it does directly in FLAIR, allowing you to group certain items together. In MFMP the grouping character has to be entered on each line for the invoice to print out on one voucher.
Were the funding sources different?
• If the lines of the IR have different budget entities, categories, or funds, the voucher will split accordingly.
