Pennsylvania Finance Transformation 3 TomorrowToday Summary of Changes in SAP Related to Finance Transformation – Invoice Processing Agencies had to call the Comptroller to find out the status of an invoice Employees only use the SAP Portal for HR and Procurement activities Invoice Processing is currently a paper- based process & invoices are received at various locations Invoices will be scanned into SAP by the Dept of Revenue, and users will review the scanned images in SAP Users may log into SAP Portal or SAP Core to view a report that shows where an invoice is and how long it has been there Employees will use the SAP Portal to view invoice images, enter payment information, and attach documents Invoice routing takes place outside of SAP via movement of paper Invoices are routed electronically within SAP to agencies based on location codes The first Go-Live date for Invoice Processing changes was May 11 th. Some agencies will also experience changes July 6 th and August 31 st.

Pennsylvania Finance Transformation 4 TomorrowToday Summary of Changes for SAP-Posted Revenue Agencies print multiple copies of paper documents and send them in to the Comptroller. Agencies use SAP Transactions ZF_SAPTORIS and ZF_SAPTORISAM for Revenue Transactions. These two transactions will no longer be available. Instead two new transactions should be used: ZF_DEPOSIT and ZF_CANCEL. A new form, the Deposit Transit Slip, will replace previous paper documents. One copy of this document will be sent to Central Commonwealth Depository Facility at Brookwood for checks and money orders only. For deposits without checks or money orders, the Deposit Transit Slips are printed automatically by the Comptroller (the agency does not need to print and send paper). The Go-Live date for Revenue Changes is June 8th.

Users may discover when they log in after a 'Go-Live' Date Bulleted text Call DriverDescriptionHow to Resolve Missing transactionRevenue users may expect to see the transactions ZF_SAPTORIS and ZF_SAPTORISAM ; however, on June 8 th, those transactions will no longer be available. Refer them to training materials on Comptroller Website; they need to use ZF_DEPOSIT now. Role AssignmentsNew roles in SAP were created for this project. Users may indicate that they can’t ‘see’ or ‘do’ something in SAP that they need to. This is likely a role assignment problem. Refer them to your agency's HR staff to request a role assignment Unable to See Images To see scanned images in SAP, users need both a role assignment in SAP AND a special permission set up by OA- OIT. If the user reports that their only problem is seeing images, they likely need to complete the User Security Authorization n Form or their PC is missing Java or Adobe Acrobat. Refer them to your agency's HR staff to complete a USAR form Or Create ticket for Java or Adobe Acrobat install Receiving wrong work items Users will now receive electronic copies of invoices in Employee Self Service and SAP. If they are set up incorrectly in SAP workflow they could receive the wrong invoices. Create a Remedy ticket for the User with Category SAP- Finance/Accounting, Type Workflow.
