the invoice has been placed on hold for insufficient funds.

 CREATE CREDIT MEMO

A credit memo can be created for PO Matched or Direct Pay invoices. A Credit Memo
Invoice is created using the same forms that are used to create an invoice. A credit
memo is setup against the Supplier for deduction against a future unpaid invoice. When
a credit memo is entered, the distribution account is credited. The funds go back into
the distribution account at that time. When any department issues an invoice for a
supplier that has a credit applied (from any department), the payment is funded by
either cash or open credit memo. It is recommended, if possible, that the
department hold the credit memo received until the department has a payment to
be made to that Supplier. By doing this, it will insure that the credit is applied to
that particular department’s invoice.

Setup your invoice batch.

 Please protect the circulation of any supplier’s Employer Identification Number
(“EIN”). The Accounting department has implemented the following procedures in an
effort to eliminate EIN access:

Accounting Division Supplier Payment Document Management

1) The Accounting Division completes a variety of vendor related tasks including

the processing and filing of accounts payable documents and 1099-Misc tax
reporting. Procedures are in place within the Accounting Division to protect
the Employer Identification Number (“EIN”) from unauthorized use.

2) Invoice Payment- If the Accounting Division receives a copy of a W-9

attached with the payment invoice, staff will deliver the W-9 directly to an
approved 1099 Administrator as defined within Oracle responsibilities.

3) Upon receipt of the W-9, the 1099 Administrator scans the W-9 into Oracle for
view by other staff designated as 1099 Administrators only. The original W-9
is scanned, then shredded prior to disposal.

4) Upon payment approval, the Accounting Division will electronically scan all
payment documentation and attach the electronic information to the Invoice
within the Oracle System. The electronic scan should not include a copy of
the W-9.

5) Original copies of invoices, after scanning, are sent to records management

on a monthly basis. After standard work hours, invoices stored within the
Accounting Division will be contained in a locked file cabinet prior to their
delivery to records management.
