PeopleSoft

Help Desk
While in the process of filling the vacancy left by Linda Turley, we have established a PeopleSoft help desk line.  Please call extension 859 with your PeopleSoft  questions and concerns and someone from Finance will get back with you.  

Budget checking vouchers
We are now encouraging the department personnel to "budget check" their vouchers. Budget checking locks in the cost center, account and accounting date. It also decreases the budget for that cost center immediately.

Running the UGL01050 report
If you choose to run this Revenue/Expense Transaction report through PeopleSoft, you need to be aware of the requirements on the Process Scheduler Request. From Process Journals, navigate to Report - Balance Sheet and Rev/Exp. Enter your cost center information and click on run (stop light icon). You need to choose Printer. Make sure you have entered a printer name and have selected the UGL01050. Then click OK. If OK is grayed out, either the printer name is not entered correctly or you have not selected a report.


Travel Updates

Brenda Bolle attended a travel training class at University of Houston Main Campus to assist with UHV travel regulations and procedures.

UHV uses similar procedures; however, UHS has some time-saving techniques which may  be implemented. Look for E-mail updates and perhaps new procedures.  

Hotel Lodging state rates can be obtained from the Texas State Travel Directory  at www.gsc.state.tx.us/travel/index.html also mileage should be off of the Texas Mileage Guide at www.window.state.
tx.us/comptrol/texastra.html
.

Remember all travel request must be approved before travel occurs.

If you did not attend one of the travel training courses please visit Brenda Bolle.  If you ever have any questions please call Brenda.

Finance News

The Finance Office greatly appreciates  everyone's efforts on entering  vouchers correctly.  It helps the auditing and approving process to be more efficient.   

Credit Memos
We would also like to remind you that it is not necessary to hold invoices while waiting for credit memos.  Please process the voucher as normal then process the adjustment voucher when you receive the credit memo. 

Voucher Reminders
Here is a list of reminders of common errors found during the auditing process.
 

1.      The name and address on the voucher must match the invoice exactly.  Changes can be made in the Addr field on the Schedule Payment-Dept Use panel.  If the address is not found in PeopleSoft, the UHS Accounts Payable and Purchasing Vendor Setup Form needs to be filled out and forwarded to the Finance Office.  Contact Debbie Jozwiak if you have questions.

2.      Remember to type in a short description on the Line Information and Charges panel.

3.      Membership vouchers must be  signed by the President.  Refer to the UHV Administrative Policy and Procedures in the General section A-11 at http://www.uhv.edu/fin/
policy/index.htm

4.      Reimbursement vouchers to an employee must be signed by a person of higher authority.

5.      UHV should process vouchers from invoices only.  If you receive a statement that references an invoice number, contact the vendor to request a faxed copy of the invoice.

6.      Scheduled Due field on the Schedule Payment-Dept Use panel needs to be changed when an earlier payment date is desired.  This happens when processing vouchers for library materiels, subscriptions, maintenance agreements,  memberships, registrations, telephone and utility bills.  Refer to the Purchasing Manual for other prepayment requirements at http://www.uhv.edu/fin/
