Article summary

Interface Description

This interface was implemented in CMS Wave and will be updated in Financials Wave. The information in this article is the planned design for Financials Wave.

Agencies use Agency Business Systems and/or 3rd party providers to process customer receivable transactions, receive customer payments, and process deposits. Accounts Receivable (AR) Items are created and associated with a customer receivable balance. AR Deposits are matched to an AR Item created in Florida PALM through Payment Predictor.

Florida PALM allows each agency to maintain AR Items. Users will have the ability to create AR Items directly in Florida PALM via the online entry page, interface, and Spreadsheet Upload. The AR Item records include details such as Customer, Item ID, Item Balance, As of Date, Payment Terms and Accounting Entries.

The ARI008 Inbound AR Data Spreadsheet Upload is used to create and update AR Items, which are recorded and posted in Florida PALM. Revenue Budget check is set to systematically pass when revenue Account ChartField Values are present on a transaction to allow revenue to post.  If a non-revenue Account ChartField Value (e.g., Account value not equal to 6*****) is used in the Accounting Distribution Line, these items will trigger approval workflow which will route to the Agency AR Item Approver and require a second level approval from the DFS AR Audit Approver. AR Items must be approved to go through the system jobs (e.g., edit check, budget check, and post to the ledgers).
