Article summary

Implemented in CMS Wave

Business Process Overview

During the CMS Wave, the Manage Revolving Funds business subprocess documents the process by which agencies manage their Consolidated Revolving Account (CRA). Florida PALM imports the bank statement and systematically generates external transactions for CRA activity and creates accounting entries to support the tracking of CRA balances for interest apportionment. This process also includes the agency receipt of bank statements to assist with their CRA account reconciliation, and the request for cancellation of CRA payments.

Business Roles

The Business Process Flow Diagrams use horizontal swim lanes to depict where activities are performed by different parties or systems. Each swim lane is titled with a role, either agency-based or within DFS, and in some cases, are representative of an external entity or system. The swim lanes may change from page to page within a single business subprocess as more or fewer roles are required to execute sections of the business subprocess. 

  • Agency Banking Reporter:  Agency role responsible for running cash management reports (role not shown as a swim lane on flow diagram)  
  • Agency CRA Processor: Agency role responsible for managing and reconciling the CRA
  • DFS Payment Cancellation Processor: DFS role responsible for managing the requests for CRA payment cancellations
  • Florida PALM: Automated system processes for bank reconciliation

Business Process Flows Details

The tables below describe steps in each business subprocess as reflected on the Business Process Flow Diagrams. The tables also reflect information associated with each step describing the intent of the specific process. Florida PALM screenshots are included within the sections to allow connections to be made from specific business subprocess steps to screens within Florida PALM. This information should be read in conjunction with the Business Process Flow Diagrams.

4

Process Automatic Reconciliation

The bank statement transactions are reconciled to the external transactions.

5

Generate Treasury Accounting

Florida PALM generates accounting entries for all transactions in the CRA bank account. This allows the calculation of the average daily CRA balance and apportions interest to the advancing fund following the 70.7.2 Distribute Interest Apportionment business subprocess.

6

Run CRA Activity Statement 

(CMR028)

8

Manage Revolving Fund

The agency manages and tracks its CRA activity outside of Florida PALM.

9

Record Regular Voucher in AP Module

In order to replenish the revolving fund, agencies record a Regular voucher in AP Module following the 30.3 Enter and Process Vouchers business subprocess.

10

Reconcile CRA Activity

Each CRA bank account is reconciled outside of Florida PALM. Agencies follow the 70.1.2 Manage Treasury Correspondence business subprocess to request Treasury assistance with reconciliation exceptions.

11

Submit CRA Stop Payment Cancellation Request Form

(CMF004)

If a payment cancellation is needed on a CRA payment, the agencies submit the CRA Payment Cancellation Request Form within Florida PALM which routes to Treasury via workflow.

12

Cancel Payment

Treasury works with the banking partner to cancel the payment.

13

Notify Agency of Payment Cancellation

Upon payment cancellation, the DFS Payment Cancellation Processor notifies the agency of the cancelled payment via the CRA Payment Cancellation Request Form and routes it back to the Agency CRA Processor via workflow.

Accounting Events

Accounting events originate during transaction processing in the applicable source module. The accounting events impact the source module, Commitment Control ledgers, and the General ledger (Actuals).

  • Source Module accounting entries require user input (I) of the primary line (i.e., expenditure, revenues) with an automated (A) system offsetting line (i.e., payable, receivable) during transaction entry. The source model transaction must pass Edit Check, Budget Check, and Cash Check (on applicable entries) prior to posting the transaction.
  • The Run Budget Check (Commitment Control) process automatically affects balances in the appropriate budget ledger (i.e., appropriation, spendable cash) if the transaction passes the budget check process.
  • After the transaction is posted in the source module, an automated system process summarizes and posts the entries in the General Ledger module to the Actuals Ledger.

The table below provides the most common accounting events applicable to this business process.
