Payment Entry Old System New System Department fills out 910 form and sends paper and $ to: Treasurer, who matches $ to 910 & keys into CSM Comptroller get 910 and keys revenue into Munis Daily and Monthly reconciliations New System Department keys receipts into Munis batch Workflow moves to Treasurer, who matches $ and makes deposit Workflow sends to Comptroller to verify, figures already in Munis New: Departments use charge codes, which track to Cash and Revenue codes. Bring deposits to T/C with payment proof, paper now, electronic in the future? Recreation and Schools make their own deposits. Bug in Workflow, cannot use now. New, interim: Treasurer uses Tyler Cashiering to key in department receipts. T/C uses wands to scan in receivables, just like lockbox.
