Centralized Billing Overview
The goal of the Centralized Billing Initiative (a pillar of CDM) is to develop the proper functionality of the billing systems in SAP (and related systems) to allow automation of all contractual invoicing. The use of UFS to generate contractual billing is a risk to the company due to weaker controls around the completeness (contractual terms) and accuracy (tax rates/rules) of what is invoiced. Related SAP enhancements to strengthen controls around existing billing processes will be developed to build an improved system. Post project closeout, this new functionality will be utilized to convert the field billing at roughly 1,000 cost centers from UFS to SAP. Project Deliverables Modifications to the SAP Billing (and related) Programs – enhancements to make SAP billing more dynamic and capable of automation Census Information Delivery Mechanism – a method for field managers to transmit statistical billing information to SAP utilizing SAP Fiori technology Reporting Changes (Current and New Reports) Design Tollgate Presentation (v )

Contractual Billing Controls
Bringing UFS Contractual Invoicing to SAP will result in: Time Savings for Unit Managers – Unit Managers won’t need to invest as much time in creating contractual invoicing which can be spent on other value added activities with their clients. More Accurate Invoicing – Using SAP’s GL-based billing materials will ensure that all reimbursable Operating Expenses are properly billed. Likewise, by relying on supporting software such as Taxware, amounts billed for sales tax will be more accurate. Consistency in Billing Practice – A common set of billing practices and procedures will be used for all contractual billing. All contractual invoicing will be setup consistently across cost centers.

Summary of Invoice Status Look Up Application Updates
Phase 1: Current Application was deployed January 2015 Currently utilized by both Sodexo (internal) and Vendors (external) Functionality allows for researching for one vendor number and one invoice number at a time.

Enhanced search capabilities allow for ranges and multiple invoices to be searched at a time. Enhanced security allows for multiple vendor numbers to be searched at a time (i.e. Sysco has many vendor numbers, their sign-on will allow access to all the vendor numbers they need at the same time.) Ability to export results (i.e. if a vendor lost a remittance stub, allows search by check number, then ability to export the results showing invoices paid by said check.)
