- Accrual Enhancements
- Accrual process allows for multiple spreadsheets to be submitted, where the most recently received Accrual Amount always wins (even if it is 0, but not if it is blank)
- Do not create Monthly Accrual Request (MAR) atoms to initiate the accruals process. Instead, generate the Accrual Spreadsheet based directly on the VATM records that meet the requirements to be included in the process
- When a populated Accrual Spreadsheet is received, the Monthly Accrual Request atoms are created for any non-blank rows
- In the export, the “Accrued” column is highlighted with a blue background
- Invoices are fully related to Monthly Accrual Request
- Once an invoice is Voided, the invoice is no longer be associated to the Accrual
- Invoice Appeals Functionality
- Client option to enable vendor invoice adjustment appeals, set maximum number of appeals per invoice, and set the number of days an invoice is with the vendor for appeals
- Initial invoice approver has the option to send an adjusted invoice back to vendor for appeal or acknowledgement of adjustments
* Invoices will be associated to the Fiscal Calendar when they are first approved/rejected - not when they initially land. We also have Daily Schedule running nightly to associate any invoices missed during a given day to their applicable Fiscal Calendar.
