Special Payment Scenarios

The following transactions are not traditional “deposits” but will be recorded using the ROC functionality.

•Bank Adjustments – Debit•Bank Adjustments – Credit•Zero Dollar Deposit•Unidentified ACH or Wire Transfer•Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF)•Correction Deposit

17

Bank Adjustments – Debit

• Occurs when Treasurer of State (TOS) receives a Bank Debit• TOS assigns an Adjustment Sequence Number to the Bank Debit• TOS sends the Bank Debit to the Agency• Agency enters the Bank Debit as a payment in a deposit

– Debits may be combined with other payments or entered separately as its own deposit– When debits are combined with other payments, the deposit total cannot be 0.00 (ZERO)– Payment ID = Adjustment Sequence Number– Amount field - should have a negative number– Payment Method = Debit– Journal Directly Box = Checked

• Agency prints ROC Report and submits to TOS for approval• TOS approves the deposit• Agency AR Entry User enters accounting entries

– Books the amount as a debit to revenue – thus reducing revenue• Agency AR Approver approves the entries

18

Bank Adjustments – Credit

• Occurs when Treasurer of State (TOS) receives a Bank Credit• TOS assigns an Adjustment Sequence Number to the Bank Credit• TOS sends the Bank Credit to the Agency• Agency enters the Bank Credit as a payment in a deposit

– Credits may be combined with other payments or entered separately as its own deposit– Payment ID = Adjustment Sequence Number– Amount field - should have a positive number– Payment Method = Credit

• Agency prints ROC Report and submits to TOS for approval• TOS approves the deposit• Agency AR Entry User enters accounting entries

– Books the amount as a credit to revenue – thus increasing revenue• Agency AR Approver approves the entries

19

Zero Dollar Deposit

• Enter a Zero Dollar Deposit for the purpose of correcting Accounting Entries. This replaces the Journal Voucher.

• Payment 1 entered as a Negative amount• Payment 2 entered as a Positive amount

– Payment Method = same as the original payment– Description = “To correct chartfields for deposit xxxxxxxx”

• Agency prints ROC Report and submits to TOS for approval

Zero Dollar Deposit continued

20

• TOS approves the deposit and enters a TOS Deposit ID of ZERO– Approval is required by TOS in order to push the deposit through the system so that

accounting entries can be entered and approved by the Agency – TOS does NOT review or approve accounting entries

• Agency AR Entry User enters accounting entries– Entries for the Negative Payment will take the activity out of the incorrect chartfield string– Entries for the Positive Payment will put the activity into the correct chartfield string

• All correcting entries for AR must have the current BUDREF (put information to correction in Description field)

– A payment may have multiple accounting entries– Accounting entries may be interunit or intraunit

• Agency AR Approver approves the entries

NOTE: All ROC related accounting entries, including corrections, MUST be entered into the AR module.

21

Unidentified ACH / Wire Transfer

• Occurs when TOS receives an Unidentified ACH or Wire Transfer– TOS will hold unidentified ACH or Wire Transfers for 30 days before entering a

deposit for unclaimed funds– If the Agency claims the unidentified ACH or Wire within 30 days, the Agency will

enter the deposit by following normal ROC procedures

• TOS enters a direct journal deposit for BU 00048• TOS prints ROC Report and approves the deposit• TOS enters and approves the direct journal accounting entries

– Debit to Cash account– Credit to Unclaimed Funds account for BU 00048

22

How does an Agency claim the funds after the 30 day holding period?• Agency contacts TOS• Agency enters a Zero Dollar Deposit

– Payment 1 entered as a Negative amount – To take the funds out of BU 00048 unclaimed funds– Payment 2 entered as a Positive amount – To put the funds into Agency’s revenue account

23

Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF)

• Occurs when Treasurer (TOS) receives NSF check• TOS enters the NSF as a direct journal payment in a deposit under the

Agency BU• TOS prints ROC Report and approves the deposit• TOS enters and approves the direct journal accounting entries

– Debit to Returned Check expense account for Agency BU– Credit to Cash account

• TOS notifies the Agency of their returned checks

24

Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) continued

• Agency receives a new payment– Agency may or may not know the new payment is a replacement for an NSF

• Agency enters a new payment in a deposit according to normal ROC procedures– Enter new payment using the correct payment method (i.e. Cash, Check, etc.)– When entering the accounting entries, record the new payment to the appropriate revenue

account

• If a new payment is identified later as a replacement for an NSF, then a Zero Dollar Deposit can be entered to clear out the Returned Check expense account– Negative payment entered as a Debit to Revenue– Positive payment entered as a Credit to Returned Check expense account

25

Correction Deposit

• Occurs when TOS discovers error on an ROC that was approved in ENCOMPASS but was not yet entered into the TOS legacy system.

Review Deposit Accounting

27

• Navigation: Accounts Receivable > Payments > Direct Journal Payments > Review Deposit Accounting

• The Review Deposit Accounting page displays all of the accounting entries for a direct journal deposit including the system-generated Cash Control entries.

• Upon TOS approval of a deposit, an entry is made behind the scenes to debit Cash and credit Cash Control. This entry ensures that approved deposits are accounted for in the GL at the end of the day.

• The Cash Control entries will be reversed once the Agency enters and approves their direct journal accounting entries and the Cash Control Reversal process is completed.

• The Cash Control Reversal process is run nightly by GMIS.

Import Payment Deposits

28

• Navigation: Accounts Receivable > Payments > Direct Journal Payments > Import Payment Deposits

• Payment information can be uploaded from a data file if it is in the correct format.

• The data file can be uploaded from a file on the server or as an attachment. For the server option to work, you must have access to the directory.

• Balanced entries can be created for any deposit. However, if a row in the data file contains an invalid or missing chartfield, balanced entries will not be created.

• Only non-AOS deposits can be marked as Complete. AOS deposits must first be approved by TOS. Then, the AR Agency Approver must mark each payment Complete individually.
