Article summary

Interface Description 

The Enter and Process Vouchers business process encompasses all activities required to capture disbursement requests, including generating Vouchers, attaching related documents, performing editing, submitting approvals, Budget Checking, and voucher posting. Agencies enter/interface vouchers in Florida PALM and are routed for approval using Voucher Workflow. If the voucher has passed approval and budget check, the Post Voucher process runs, and the voucher is staged for payment. The Process Pay Cycle business process encompasses all activities where vouchers are scheduled for payment and included in daily payment processing during the Financials Wave.

When the voucher is posted, an accounting entry is generated to recognize an Accounts Payable (i.e., a liability) to the supplier, and to recognize the associated expense/expenditure accrual. The accounting entry is recorded in the Actuals Ledger (i.e., General Ledger).

With this outbound interface, all the voucher statuses, voucher accounting, and payment information that was distributed to General Ledger will be interfaced to source systems. The deleted vouchers will be extracted as well for the source systems to get the deleted vouchers information. This interface will extract voucher accounting information that was added/updated after the last batch run. 

This custom interface process will consist of the following 2 core functions:

  1. Generate an “Outbound Voucher and Payment Extract” flat file.

  2. Transfer the generated “Outbound Voucher and Payment Extract” flat file to the pre-defined file server location.
