BUSINESS OPERATIONS - SEPTEMBER 2016
INTRODUCTION
The functions of the Business Operations Unit are both numerous and complicated. The aim of this booklet is to provide a general insight into these processes by giving a brief overview of the work carried out in our offices. Our hope is to help broaden the understanding of some of the Business Operations processes among staff and process users. The booklet is designed to focus on some of the areas that staff require the most information about and help explain the process. Business Operations operates in a highly regulated environment and regulatory compliance is imperative. Further information on these regulations and other areas are available in the Business Operation section on the HSE intranet.

Is it within our funded workforce plans?• Did we exhaust all alternative options such as redeployment, reassignment of work etc.?• What would happen if we did not fill it?• Did we address grade drift and management delayering considerations?• Does it comply with Public sector pay policy/norms and standard terms and conditions?• Do we need to harvest position if the focus is on filling an existing/emerging vacancy?• Any other options in delivering this work?
2. Step 2. Draw up business case/rationale for filling in line with the questions set out in Step1 above. Prepare any other associated documentation to support the approval to hire e.g.Job description, person specifications etc.

FINANCEREVENUE PURCHASE ORDER PROCESS
The following briefly outlines the procedure for purchasing goods using the Revenue Purchase Order process (ref flowchart). Initially when a staff member identifies a specific business need they must go to their line manager to request the goods or services are ordered. The line manager has the option, based on business need and budgetary considerations, to either approve or decline the request. On approval, the member of staff can then proceed with the next stage toward purchasing the item, adhering to all necessary local and national procurement policies, providing tenders or quotations where required. Once the correct supplier is identified a completed requisition form is then submitted to the relevant authorised approver. It is at this stage that the order is measured against the approval limits in the National Financial Regulations http://www.hse.ie/eng/staff/Resources/Financial%20Regulations/ . The signed requisition form is then passed to the Business Operations unit who will create a Purchase Order and this is then returned to the staff member to send to the vendor. If a goods receipt or service receipt is available this should be returned to the Business Operation unit who can process it. Finally, when the invoice is received and verified the goods are paid for.
In Summary
• Identify need• Go to line manager with request• Line manager approves or declines request• Line manger checks budget is available• Tender or quotation sought• Correct supplier identified in line with local and national procurement policies• Order checked for financial regulatory compliance• Approved in line with HSE approver limits• Order sent to Business Operations• Purchase Order created and returned to member of staff• Goods purchased• Receipt followed by invoice sent for processing• When invoice approved order paid for and closed

CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE / CORPORATE PURCHASE ORDERSThe OoCIO Project Manager can only create a requisition when they have an approved DPER Capital Project. Finance will create an internal order for this project which must be on all documentation/communication. It is the Project Manager’s responsibility to ensure that the budget is sufficient for the purchase. When the Infrastructure Project Manager needs to order goods/services for this project they must complete the Capital Requisition form and email it to [email protected] or send it in via their local Business Operation team. When this is approved the requisition is emailed to [email protected]. Corporate Capital orders do not need to go through Infrastructure Capital and can be emailed directly to [email protected] No hand written requisitions will be processed.
Each requisition will need the following information before it can be processed.
a. Supplier name and address: The name and address of the supplier must be completed on the requisition.
b. Internal Order number: A six-digit number for the Capital Project is required for SAP. This is called the internal order number(IO) This will be supplied to the Project Manager when the project receives approval. No orders can be raised without this number.
c. Capital GL code: The Project Manager must choose the relevant CMOD description for the project. The list is on a drop down box on the Requisition sheet.
d. Product/Item Description: A product description must be filled in for the items to be ordered
e. Quantity: The quantity of items required must be completed.
f. Price: The unit price of the item must be filled in.
g. Complete delivery details including contact number: Complete delivery address must be given for the goods. We also require a contact phone number so the supplier can ring if necessary.
h. Final destination is required for each: There are two fields for delivery addresses. The first is the delivery address. The second is the final destination of goods. If the delivery address is not the final destination for goods this must be completed. As this is requirement for the Asset register if applicable.
On receipt of the fully completed requisition form the requisition will be input into SAP and a purchase order will be generated. The relevant Grade will then release the purchase order and it will be sent back to the Project Manager and [email protected] in the case of Infrastructure Orders. Corporate Capital Orders will be emailed directly to the Project Manager. The Project Manager then issues the order to the vendor. A copy of the Purchase Order and a printed copy of the requisition will be kept in Admin in Dr Steevens’ Hospital.

CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE/CORPORATE GOODS RECEIPT PROCESSAs soon as the goods are received the Capital Goods receipt Form and the delivery docket must be emailed to [email protected] to be processed on SAP. Failure to do so may result in prompt payment penalties. If the purchase order is for services then the Capital goods receipt form must be completed by the Project Manager and emailed to [email protected]. The GRN will then be input into SAP. and the invoice will be processed automatically if it matches the purchase order. It is imperative the Goods Receipt form is signed off only if the goods/services are in order for payment.
CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE/CORPORATE INVOICE PROCESSOnce the goods/or services are delivered, the Vendor can issue an invoice. This invoice should be sent to the HSE Scanning Centre, Accounts Payable, Parkgate St Business Centre, Dublin 8. A copy of this invoice is then scanned and received through Workflow for payment. At this stage a Goods Receipt Note(GRN) is requested from the Project Manager if it hasn’t’ already been sent. Until this is received the payment cannot be processed. It is vital that this is received promptly as interest will incur if there is a delay.

TRAVEL & SUBSISTENCE (DOMESTIC)If a staff member is required to travel for work purposes the first thing that is needed is a decision from their line manager. Once this has been received a copy of the insurance cert, vehicle registration cert and letter of indemnity must be submitted.
When a staff member has travelled they need to complete the Travel and Subsistence form and must include all receipts for any expenses incurred, ie parking tickets, toll receipts.
This is then checked in line with travel and subsistence rates etc. and signed by the relevant line manager and the Admin Office and is sent to Payroll for payment.
