2.1. Business Case: Creation of Voucher
Create Voucher Approve Vouchers Do Voucher Posting

The steps involved in the voucher creation process are:

Following is a brief description of the voucher styles, which US Technology would be using. Voucher Style Regular Voucher Description Enter standard vouchers (this is the default setting). This style is also used to enter Direct vouchers and receiving documents. Adjustments Use to enter adjustment vouchers for credit, debit memos or to relate one voucher to another. When entering an adjustment amount, the system calculates whether the adjustment increases or decreases the vendor's balance. Journal Voucher Prepaid Voucher Single Payment Voucher Third-Party Voucher Register Voucher For correcting accounting entries that have already been posted and paid. The Gross amount is not changed. However, the Distribution Line Information is changeable. Use to enter supplier prepayments. Allows a payment to be made to a vendor without an invoice. Enter a voucher for a one-time vendor without having to define the vendor in the system Enter vouchers for charges other than merchandise chargesfor example, freightonly vouchers Accrue an individual voucher for which the expense distribution is not known or not yet approved.

Regular Voucher Entry Typically as part of the laid down processes US Technology will create Regular Vouchers. In case of some utility payments US Technology will use online direct vouchers. This walkthrough will describe the steps that US Technology users would be typically following for Regular vouchers when created online.

select a vendor ID from the dropdown. Vendor Location Default vendor location appears when the vendor ID is entered. Value may also be changed on the Invoice Information page Address Sequence Number The default address sequence no for the vendor entered defaults. Default Vendor Address will be applied in the Invoice Information Page, unless specified here. Value may also be changed on the Invoice Information page Invoice Number Invoice Date Gross Invoice Amount Invoice ID Invoice Date Amount Vendors Invoice ID Date as on the Vendor Invoice The Gross Invoice Amount as it appears on the vendors invoice. Miscellaneous Charge Amount Amount The Miscellaneous charge Amount as it appears on the vendors invoice. Freight Amount Amount The freight charges for the voucher as it appear on the vendors invoice. Estimated No. of Invoice Lines 1 defaults Enter the number of lines to be entered on the invoice. If this is not entered one Invoice line will appear in the Invoice information page. You can then manually add lines depending on the requirement. Note: PeopleSoft uses an Auto-Numbering system, whereby Voucher IDs are system generated and sequentially assigned when a voucher is created and NEXT remains in the Voucher ID field. If NEXT is typed into the Voucher ID field, the Voucher ID will be NEXT. Note that this automatic sequential voucher numbering applies to all Business Units, and is distinct from document sequencing which optionally can be required for individual business units. After entering the above information correctly press button.

2.3.

Business Case: Creation of Prepaid Vouchers

The prepaid voucher creation process mirrors the regular voucher entry with a few minor changes such as applying a regular voucher to the prepaid voucher later. Prepaid vouchers are used to handle cases where there are advances paid out to vendors.

Use prepayments to create payments for vendors before receiving an invoice: 1. 2. 3. Enter and pay a prepaid voucher immediately. Enter it as a regular voucher when the invoice is received. Apply or link the regular voucher and prepaid voucher prior to payment of the regular voucher. The system deducts the payment made on the prepaid voucher from the regular voucher's scheduled payment and remits the balance to the vendor. 4. Post both the prepayment voucher and the prepayment to create the appropriate accounting entries once the prepayment has been made. The voucher and payment posting processes reverse the prepayment entries and charge the final accounts when the regular voucher is posted. The prepayment voucher has all the attributes of a regular voucher, including document sequencing and withholding (TDS). US Technology will do prepayment application manually through the use of Apply Vouchers to Prepayment Component. You can apply multiple vouchers to one prepayment, as well as one voucher to multiple prepayments. To create a Prepayment Voucher select voucher style as Prepaid Voucher at Add a New value page.

Internal and Confidential

Page 15 of 69

Prepaid voucher will be raised without an invoice. But, the voucher creator will have to enter an invoice ID and invoice date. The creator should enter a descriptive invoice ID for this voucher, which will make the search for this voucher easy while creating the final regular voucher.

2.4.

Business Case: Creation of Adjustment Voucher

The Accounts Payable (AP) group will process invoices as vouchers in the PeopleSoft AP module dependent upon specific PeopleSoft business rules. Adjustment vouchers would be used to adjust existing vouchers or to relate two vouchers to each other. For example: If two invoices need to be linked together, you can enter the second invoice as an adjustment. You can also use Adjustment vouchers to enter credit memos. You can enter adjustment vouchers manually, or you can copy the voucher that you want to adjust right into the Adjustment voucher. These Vouchers would be created on the HR vendors for booking credit notes for adjusting the amount paid in lieu of Employees who have resigned within the Claw back period. The adjustment process mirrors the regular voucher entry with a few minor changes such as selecting the adjustment voucher type instead of the regular voucher entry and the addition of entering a reference field to associate the entry with the original voucher(s). Note: Adjustment vouchers are used to record debit and credit memos or to relate one voucher to another. An Adjustment voucher is not used solely to correct accounting entries, but is generally used to adjust existing vouchers (Journal Vouchers are recommended to be used in reference to accounting entry only changes). Adjustment vouchers will typically be used to support credit memo and debit memo processing.

In the Copy from a Source Document section, it is recommended that users use the Copy From Worksheet option to Copy a related voucher.

Once the voucher is selected, click the Copy to Voucher button to copy information from the source voucher to the adjustment voucher. After clicking the button, some fields will populate.

2.5.

Business Case: Creation of Journal Voucher

Journal vouchers are used to adjust accounting entries for vouchers that have been posted and paid and for vouchers whose payments have also been posted. For example, let's say a voucher has been entered using expense account 150100. The voucher has been posted and paid, and the payment has been posted, when you discover that the expense should have used account 150101. To avoid making a manual general ledger entry, which would cause PeopleSoft General Ledger and PeopleSoft Payables to get out of sync, and to avoid unposting the voucher, which involves correcting the voucher and then reposting it for payment, you simply enter a journal voucher. On the journal voucher, you reverse the amount to account 150100 and add the amount to account 150101, keeping PeopleSoft General Ledger and PeopleSoft Payables in sync. Then you post the journal voucher without having to post a payment.

The US Technology user needs to follow the steps described below to create a Journal Voucher.

1.

Select Journal Voucher as the voucher style on the add page for the Voucher component.

2.

Enter your new distribution lines. Journal vouchers are zero-amount vouchers; you cannot copy any source documents. For the above said example Journal Voucher distribution lines should be entered as the following.

Business Case: Creation of Voucher with Withholding Tax

TDS (Global Withholding) Transactions In India US Technology will use PeopleSofts Global Withholding functionality for its TDS payments. The Tax Codes are set up at the vendor level and whenever a voucher is raised for a TDS Applicable vendor a Withholding link appears on the Voucher page. Once you click on the Withholding link, following page opens where you can check the defaulted values for the vendor. You can also change the Withholding Rule if the transaction falls into other category.

You can use the Withholding Basis Amt Override field to enter the basis value on which the system should calculate the withholding amount instead of calculating it on the Gross Invoice amount. Select Rule Override to specify a different Withholding Rule. NOTE: If you change the Withholding Rule at the Voucher, then change the Remit to Vendor for the Withholding payment once the Voucher is posted. When one withholding voucher is posted the system calculates the TDS amount as per the rules specified and creates a separate line in the payment page for the amount to be paid to the IT Authority. The IT Authority vendor is set up with a Payment Term DUE NOW. These values will get defaulted on the voucher payment pages. During normal Pay Cycle run these IT payments will not get created as they will be having a

separate Pay Group code. Only when the Pay Cycle is run for IT Pay Group, on a designated day these payments will get created. Withholding with Works Contract Tax This business case is similar to TDS (Withholding) Transaction. This case applies to the Vendors for which both the TDS and the Works Contract Tax applies. Once you click on the Withholding link, following page opens where you can check the defaulted values for the vendor. You can also change the Withholding Rule if the transaction falls into other category.

2.9.

Business Case: Voucher Posting

The Voucher Posting process creates accounting entries from vouchers. The system uses the accounting entry template and inheritance rules that you set up on the Accounting Entry Template and ChartField Inheritance pages to identify the offset accounts needed to create accounting entries. The entries include the expense distributions entered into the system, as well as additional entries for the payables offset, non-prorated, non-merchandise expenses etc. These accounting entries are then available for generating general ledger journals, using the Journal Generator Application Engine process (FS_JGEN). Vouchers must be entered, approved, and posted before you can send voucher information to the general ledger. Voucher posting process will be a scheduled job which will run on specified intervals for the entire business unit. The user can also run the process manually for a single voucher if required. Following screenshot shows a Voucher Posting run control panel where the user has chosen to post a single voucher.

Navigation: Accounts Payable > Batch Processes > Vouchers > Voucher Posting
Select an existing Run Control id or add a new ID for reference.

2.10. Business Case: Pay Cycle Processing

US Technology will be using different Pay Cycles for different Banks like HDFC and SBI. On the basis of the information defaulted/provided on the Payments page of Voucher component, the different Pay Cycles will determine the payments to be selected. US Technology will run one Pay Cycle for each bank on a predetermined day of the week. Following is a brief walk through about how to create Pay Cycle Payment Selection Criteria.

Navigation: Accounts Payable > Payments > Pay Cycle Processing > Payment Selection Criteria
Dates Tab

Important fields to be maintained in this page: Field Pay From Date Explanation Beginning date of the pay cycle. The system compares this date to the scheduled pay date for the voucher payment schedule. If the scheduled pay date is equal to or greater than the pay from date, the voucher payment schedule can be paid in the current pay cycle if the schedule meets the other payment selection criteria.

Internal and Confidential

Page 32 of 69

Pay Through Date

Ending date of the pay cycle. The system compares this date to the scheduled pay date for the voucher payment schedule. If the scheduled pay date is on or before the pay through date, the voucher payment schedule can be paid in the current pay cycle if the schedule meets the other payment selection criteria.

Payment Date

The system tags all payments created in the pay cycle with this date and prints it on checks or shows it on other payment methods. It can differ from the pay through date. The scheduled pay date has to be between the pay from date and the pay through date so that it is included in the pay cycle.

Accounting date

Determines the fiscal year and period to which the payment accounting entries are posted. There are three options for the date that the system uses as the accounting date for the payments created in the pay cycle: Current: The current date. Payment: The value in the Payment Date field. Specific: The specific value that you enter. When you select this option, the date field next to the Accounting Date field is activated. Enter the specific date in the date field.

Withholding Date

Date that determines the reporting period in which a withholding amount is reported for a vendor. There are three options for the date that the system uses as the withholding date for withholdings associated with payments created in the pay cycle. This date is important for US Technology Indias TDS payment processing.

Field Use Vendor Pay Group

Explanation Includes vendor pay group information as part of your pay cycle selection criteria. Selecting this check box enables the vendor pay group information on the Pay Group/Netting page. The fields on the Pay Group/Netting page are not enabled unless you select this check box. US Technology can use Vendor Pay Group for their India Business Unit. This will be used to segregate Income Tax authority TDS payments and normal vendor payments.

Approval

Identify whether approvals are necessary, and if so, by whom: User or Certifier. There are three values: Certifier, None, User. Choosing Certifier or User makes the pay cycle remain in Unapproved status until the pay cycle is approved on the Pay Cycle Approval page. Note: Once the payments are created all the payments together can be accepted or rejected if this option is used.

Credit Vouchers

The value will be set as Process Credit Vouchers. This will apply credit vouchers automatically during the Pay Cycle process.

2.13. Business Case: Recreate Checks

India US Technology will use HDFC and HSBC bank continuous check stationery for check printing. The stationery will be having preprinted check numbers printed on it. If during check printing the paper gets stuck, some of the check may have to be reprinted. If you print the same check file on a new series of check paper then payment reference number (check number) recorded in the system will not be matching with the new numbers in the hard copy checks. PeopleSoft gives you the flexibility of recreating the check file with a new range of numbers or with the old set of numbers. You should use this functionality in the scenarios described above.

After you generate the first check file Recreate button appears. Once you press the Recreate button the following page opens

2.16. Payment Posting

The Payment Posting process creates accounting entries from payment-related transactions, such as systemcreated payments, manual payments and canceled payments. The Payment Posting process also creates realized gain or loss offsets when a transaction is entered in a different currency than the base currency and the rates have fluctuated between the invoice and payment dates. These accounting entries are then available to the Journal Generator process to pass to your general ledger.
