23. 23 Sample “PO Listing By Fund” 5/1/2015

24. 24 If you are entering purchase orders in the system and are encumbering you should periodically check to be sure outstanding purchase orders balance to general ledger. The next few slides will discuss reports that can be used to aid with the monthly balancing of purchase orders to general ledger. 5/1/2015

25. 25  The “Purchase Order Balancing Report” is a good report that should be printed at least monthly and used as an aid in balancing purchase orders to general ledger.  The report is located in Accounts Payable, Purchasing, Purchase Orders, and is labeled “Purchase Order Balancing Report.” 5/1/2015

26. 26  Division: Specify the general ledger division of the purchase orders you are balancing.  Fiscal Year: Enter the fiscal year you are printing.  Use the Beg PO Number and End PO Number fields to limit the purchase order type and/or number range that you are checking.  Use the Beg Date and End Date fields to limit the purchase order date range that you are printing. This will typically be for the fiscal year. 5/1/2015

27. 27  If you want only the ledger accounts that are out of balance to be printed enter “Y” in the Print Errors Only field.  If you want the program to read the year-to-date file and unprocessed packets, enter “Y” in the Process Y-T-D File”. This will typically be Y.  Use the Beg Ledger and End Ledger fields to print the report for a range of general ledger accounts. If they are left blank all ledger accounts for the division and fiscal year being printed will be listed. 5/1/2015

28. 28 The “Y/D Amount” and “G/L Amount” will show what has been processed in general ledger. 5/1/2015

29. 29 The “P/K Amount” designates the total, by ledger account, from unprocessed encumbrance packets. 5/1/2015

30. 30 The “I/V Amount” designates the total, by ledger account, from outstanding invoices that have purchase orders. 5/1/2015

32. 32 The “P/O Amount” is the total of outstanding purchase orders to the listed general ledger account. 5/1/2015

33. 33 The “Difference” is the difference between Total G/L and P/O Amount. When the Difference is 0.00 that lets you know that the ledger account is in balance. Any ledger accounts that do not have a difference of 0.00 should be further researched to see why it is out of balance. 5/1/2015

34. 34 Another check to make when balancing outstanding purchase orders to general ledger is comparing the Current Year Encumbrance general ledger account to the outstanding purchase orders listing… 5/1/2015

35. 35 Balance Sheet from general ledger: 5/1/2015

36. 36 Outstanding Purchase Order Listing by Fund: 5/1/2015

37. 37 When all packets have been processed the totals should agree. If they do not, further research should be done to see what is out of balance. 5/1/2015
