Transcript Payment Plus training info



Payment Plus is new payment method where pre-determined vendors will be sent
payment instructions to process a credit card payment to pay specified invoices,
similar to an ACH. This service is provided by US Bank. Once a vendor relationship
has been established, the vendor will receive all accounts payable payments via a
payment instruction file from US Bank. The vendor will process a credit card
transaction using a predefined credit card number (single use account). The credit
card transaction will post to our Payment Plus account. Monthly, US Bank will bill
us for all the processed credit card transactions. We will issue one payment to US
Bank for all credit card transactions that posted during the cycle period.
None of our current UPS processes will change – logging invoices, receiving,
matching, disbursing, and creating a planned payment record. When the check
jobs are processed by the Treasurer’s Office, the system will determine the
appropriate payment type for the vendor (check, ACH, or Payment Plus). For
Payment Plus payments, we will use a new payment type of AP (AP Payment Plus).
A payment transmission file will be created to send to US Bank for processing.


The Payment Plus payments will continue to relieve the accounts payable liability
established when the expense was posted, but instead of creating the off-setting
bank entry (via explosion code 45) a new explosion code will be used with offsetting entries to a clearing cost center.
With the new payment type of AP, check accounting will use a new explosion code
(explosion code of 69) that will continue to relieve the AP liability for the
appropriate cost centers and create a new liability account for a clearing cost
center. A new accounts payable liability account code (00220101 – Payment Plus
Supplier Payable) will be used to distinguish it from the normal AP liability.
When payment is made to US Bank for all credit card transactions posted within
the billing cycle, the new liability account will be relieved by the payment amount
with an off-setting bank entry.
Additionally, the AP payment records associated with the US Bank payment will
need to be cleared. Similar to our check clearing process, either manually or
automatically via a file from US Bank. The remaining liability balance should equal
the total of the outstanding AP payment records.

This explosion code creates an accounts payable liability in this Business Affairs
clearing cost center.
This cost center will be reconciled monthly using the outstanding AP payment records.
A payment (via UPAY) to US Bank will need to off-set the accounts payable liability
account and cost center listed above.

The vendor must be set up in
EVID in order to create a
payment plus payment.
The external system code is P
(Procure 2 Pay).
The vendor id must match the
id given to US Bank for
enablement within its system.
The relationship must be set
up for each unique
name/address (remit
address) number.
A vendor advantage is
changing the net days
(payment terms) to pay
as soon as possible.


For certain vendors, the
customer id is critical. It
determines how the payment
is applied within the vendor’s
system.
By adding an attribute of CUST
to the vendor, the payment
instruction file will substitute
the customer id in place of the
vendor’s invoice number.
Thus, the vendor’s email will
contain the customer id.
The CUST attribute will also require that a customer
id be entered on ILOG when logging the invoice.

Payment (check) run – the Treasurer’s Office submits the jobs that extract all
planned payment records with the appropriate payment due date.
The job determines whether a check, ACH, or Payment Plus payment is issued.
A Payment Plus payment is identified where the vendor id-vendor namevendor address match the same relationship created as an external payment
plus vendor. This relationship is established in EVID and vendor id must match
exactly.
Payment Plus payments will have a payment type of AP (AP Payment Plus).
These payments will be listed on the Accounts Payable Check Summary report
as Credit Card Payments.
These payments will be included in the Payment Plus Payment Instruction File
that will be available for upload to gizmo with eventual transmission to the US
Bank’s data distribution site.

created via the check run
process. This file must be

If the need arises where the Payment Plus payment
needs to be resubmitted because the email was
never received, the single use card expired, or any
other reason.
 Access Online allows for the resubmission of the vendor
email provided the credit card has not expired.
 Access Online allows for the extending of an expiration date
provided the credit card has not expired.
 If the credit card does expire, Access Online has a facility to
recreate the payment instruction file.

If the payment has to be reissued in BASIS, a paper
check will be issued and sent to the vendor.
◦ Please notify the BASIS team or Financial Affairs as a journal
entry will have to be processed to correct the accounting
(switching from payment plus to check).

If the payment has to be canceled in BASIS, all invoices
associated with that payment must also be cancelled.
◦ Please notify the BASIS team or Financial Affairs to make sure
the payment is still outstanding.
◦ You must verify that the payment is still outstanding on the
Bank’s side.

Once confirmed that the payment is still outstanding,
you may cancel the payment using CPI (Cancel
Payment Id). Since the system creates a new payment
id, you must cancel all invoices associated with it.
Note: the new payment id is copied from the canceled
payment so it has a payment type of AP. The system
will not generate a payment for this payment type. The
system determines the type of payment in the check
job. All accounts payable payments originate with a
payment type of AC.
