Vendor Information
• Review Vendor file to ensure correct Remit to location and Address is used:– Verify the Vendor Remit to Location (i.e .REMIT001)– Confirm the Active address is NOT listed as:
• “No Auditor of State Payment”
• AOS maintains the vendor file– New vendors must submit the a W9 form and Direct Deposit and
return to AOS by fax or mail. – W9 and SF47551: http://www.in.gov/auditor/2340.htm – Vendor must complete and sign both forms.
10
SOIAP008 Query
• Users entering/approving vouchers must run this query to verify accuracy of data entry • Query prompts: Business Unit, Origin (always use %)
• This query includes all information entered on the vouchers along with the statuses of AP batch process: - Doc Tolerance, Budget status, Post status, Scheduled due date,
Vendor ID, etc.
• Voucher status MUST BE POSTED AND APPROVED prior to sending to AOS for final approval
11
What to Verify on the SOIAP008 Query
• Verify before initiating or approving the voucher:
– Doc Tolerance status, Budget status and Post status (V, V, P)– Chartfield values correct– Dollar amount correct– Invoice Number and Date– Description field is completed– Vendor info, Remit to location and address are correct– PO and PO Receipt fields are populated (if applicable)– Project information (if applicable)
12
Approving/Denying Vouchers
• Originator will initiate the voucher• Agency Approver will use Worklist to approve/deny • Vouchers requiring Agency approval are:
– Individual online vouchers– Vouchers created by voucher build process– SDO (pay cycle vouchers)– MulitUnit vouchers
• All vouchers require AOS approval • If Denied, Agency will be notified of the denial
13
Transmittal Form
• Required for every Voucher/Invoice sent to AOS – Exception: Control Groups/High Volume need one transmittal per group
• Agencies determine which user prints the transmittal – Must be fully Approved (Initiator, AP Manager)
• Transmittal Forms can be printed using– Process Monitor, Report Manager
14
AOS Packet Requirements
• After vouchers are approved by the Agency Approver, the agency assembles the ‘Voucher Packet’ to forward to AOS for final approval and payment– Print transmittal form for each voucher and staple to the
original invoice– Retain a copy of all the voucher packet items (SBOA required)– Send voucher packet to AOS for processing
• AOS will only send denied items back
15
• Run the SOIAP008 query to verify the status of the following batch processes:– Doc Tolerance = Valid– Budget Checking = Valid– Voucher Post = Post
• Batch processes run automatically every two hours• Most Agencies run on the odd hour 7am-5pm• BU 50,400,497,502,700,800 run on even hours due to size
Batch Process
16
Doc Tolerance
• Doc Tolerance– PO vouchers only– Process checks line item amounts on the voucher with
the Purchase Order– Tolerances can not exceed the lesser of 10% or $500– If over limit, work with buyer or agency budget analyst
• A change order may be made to the PO
17
Budget Checking
• Budget Checking– Process verifies sufficient funds are in the budget for the
transaction– If voucher has Budget exceptions, review errors
– Verify Chartfields first– If “No budget exists” or “Budget exceeds tolerance”, work
with agency budget analyst to resolve
18
Voucher Errors
• Chapter 4 of the Accounts Payable Manual provides troubleshooting examples and steps needed to correct vouchers
• Once vouchers have been corrected, they will need to be re-initiated back through the approval process
• Advanced AP class is recommended (see Encompass calendar)
19
Voucher Correction
If a voucher is posted, NOT PAID and NOT AOS approved unpost and make correction(s); allow AP batch process to run
If a voucher has been approved by AOS, but NOT paid Contact AOS and request they DENY voucher
If the voucher has been paid A General Ledger Journal Entry must be created to correct the
chartfields and reference the original voucher To determine which chartfields were used on the accounting
entries from the original voucher use Accounts Payable > Review Account Payable Info > Vouchers >
Accounting Entries

Use Caution when Closing a Voucher!!
• If a PO receipt was pulled into a voucher and determined AFTER the voucher is saved that the receipt was wrong in anyway – DETACH the Receipt and reuse the voucher.
• Only Close a PO voucher if the PO is going to be closed. Otherwise, refer to Detaching the PO Receipt documentation
• ENCOMPASS Documents> Training Documents > Accts Payable >MISC Info>E-Pro–AP–BULLETIN 1
• If a voucher is tied to a PO, users will be prompted to select one of these options:
• Click Yes, to restore the encumbrance to the PO • Click No, to close the voucher liability only
• In order to close a voucher it must be Posted and Not selected for Payment
• The Advanced AP Class is highly recommended Note – closing a voucher reverses the accounting entries when the voucher was created
