Workflows for Purchasing and Accounts Payable e-Documents

The workflows for the most common Purchasing and Accounts Payable e-documents are listed below. KFS users may also optionally choose to ad-hoc route any of these documents to additional individuals though this will extend the time it takes to process the transaction.

Disbursement Voucher (DV)

The Disbursement Voucher document is used to reimburse employees and nonemployees for expenses incurred while conducting university business and to pay other vendors for performing a service, or providing material goods for the university.

  • 1. Initiator - Any active faculty or staff can initiate
  • 2. Fiscal Officer - approves the eDoc
  • 3. Accounting Reviewer - This step is optional for FYI or Approve

Payment Request (PREQ)

The Payment Request document is created in response to receiving an invoice for goods or services requested from a vendor on a PO. This document is restricted to Central Accounts Payable.

  • 1. Accounts Payable or System Generated - The PREQ is generated when an invoice is recieved
  • 2. Fiscal Officer - approves the eDoc or FYI when under $10k

Procurement Card (PCDO)

The Procurement Card (PCDO) document is used to properly distribute procurement card expenses to the correct account number and object code. It is a reconciliation tool for the procurement card transactions.

  • 1. System Initiated - The PCDO is automatically generated by the system based on an electronic feed from the bank.
  • 2. Cardholder - receives an FYI
  • 3. Card Reconciler Group - approves the eDoc
  • 4. Fiscal Officer - approves the eDoc

Purchase Order (PO)

The KFS Purchase Order document is a copy of the UCIBuy+ purchase order and is generated when a requisition is finalized in UCIBuy+. Purchase Orders in KFS have the same document number as purchase orders in UCIBuy+. The purpose of a Purchase Order in KFS is to generate documents for payments and receipt of goods.

  • 1. System Generated - The Purchase Order document is automatically generated by the system when a requisition is finalized in UCIBuy+.

Purchase Order Amends (POA)

Purchase Orders can be amended by completing a Change Request in UCIBuy+. When a Change Request is finalized in UCIBuy+, the KFS system creates a PO Amend (POA) document based on the existing PO.

  • 1. System Generated - The Purchase Order Amend document is automatically generated by the system when a purchase order Change Request is finalized in UCIBuy+.

Requisition (REQS)

The KFS Requisition document is no longer used. It has been replaced by the UCIBuy+ requisition.
