The New Ledger Reviewer Presented by: Minerva Nelson
Why Replace Ledger Annotator and Reviewer? • For improved data integrity • To handle large numbers of simultaneous users and sets of data • To allow for additional functionality in search and results screens
How will this impact you? • The New Ledger Reviewer will replace the current Annotator and Reviewer to provide one application for your reconciliation needs. • Users will need to launch all enpets from this new application.
New Ledger Reviewer Advantages • Provides a sound and defensible reconciliation process. • Recommended tool for SAS 112 Compliance. • Tracks error types and error rates - providing departments with statistical information which may alert them to problem areas. • Allows for different methods of reconciliation. • Reconciliation available daily, weekly or monthly.
Other FinancialLink Tools To Consider • Projects • Overdraft Profile System • Index copy screen - Warnacct (E & W) - Tracking costs via sub index - EII (Early Index Inactivation)
Navigation Will many people access? Group id’s are specifically owned by one department. Once you leave or transfer to a new department, do not continue to use.
New Selection Screen - view options Display max rows = 41 Unchecked = 14 rows
View Options - paging Unchecked = 14 rows
View Options - max rows Checked = 41 rows
100% Reconciliation • New feature allows users to view transactions that have not been reconciled. • What is the difference between the “OK” and the check box? • New feature provides check off history.
Review Process - 100% Items marked as “OK” have disappeared and items marked with problem codes remain
Selection Screen - 100% checked only All Sampled transactions For global profile
Result Screen - 100% checked only CHK is an internal control feature for departments
Transaction Sampling Reconciliation • Sampled transactions now appear with an S icon in a column named Sampled. • Sorting capability on items that have been sampled. • Sampling profiles run at ledger close.
Selection Screen - Transaction Sampling Not checked
Enpets • Enpet’d transactions now appear with a pink check mark in a column labeled with a check mark. • Sorting capability on items that have been enpet. • Using the enpet “check all” feature with paging.
Enpet - Check All Once user selects Enpet All they still need to launch enpet
Enpets * All items that are enpet should be assigned a problem code. * This includes any previous items that have already been marked as “OK”.
Review Process - Enhancements • New*warning to save. • New drill down feature onaccount code. • Add a note for action taken. • New mouse over functionalityon many items.
Assigning Problem Codes • If the charge is allowable, allocable, reasonable and the amount is correct, it isOK. • If the charge is on the wrong index or fund the problem code would be:INDEX/FUND. • If the account code is incorrect the:WRONG ACCTproblem code should be used. • INCOMP DOCshould be used if there is no drill down available and the proper paper back up cannot be found. • If the transaction has occurred outside the project period for the fund/award use:EXP DATE.
Assigning Problem Codes Cont…. • TheKEY ENTRYproblem code is for other errors that appear to be due to data entry mistakes. • SALES TAXshould be used when sales tax is incorrect in any way, amount, application etc. • EMF-PENDcode used by EMF (OPAFS) to indicate a follow up with a department. • JUSTIFICATIcan be used by either OPAFS or the department when there is an inadequate explanation on a transaction. • VENDOR ERRcan be used when a mistake has been made by the vendor that needs to be corrected.
Correction Process • Once the problem codes have been saved the correction process can begin. • After the transaction is correct the problem code should be changed to OK. • One transaction can have multiple problem codes assigned.
Problem Code History Box • History box shows the userid(s) that assigned the problem code(s). • For items that are sampled with a global profile, the history box will initially display the userid for Debbie Rico or Lyle Kafader.
Custom Finds • Ledger Reviewer allows for the “custom find” of many types of transactions. • Users can pull up all Express card transactions by using a specific IFOPAL or Project and rule class combination. • Users can use this approach for many other types of transactions (marketplace orders, account code, description, etc.)
Custom Find - Express Cards Rule class XXCD = Express card transactions XCRD = Express card use tax
