4 Enterprise Portal New Look and New Billing Number for Call-in Reservations (Trucks and Vans) The new billing number and current account number are built into the reservation when completed through the SAP Portal. Billing and account numbers are needed for call-in reservations for vehicles not available through SAP Portal, i.e. trucks and vans. Should unforeseen travel events occur, billing and account numbers are needed to rent a vehicle directly from an Enterprise location. Use the SAP Portal or direct bill options whenever possible in order to save the department money. These options have built-in discounts, for example, including the insurance rate in the rental price. Personal Use rentals have the same rental rates, but will not include insurance. Do not mix business and personal use with direct bill. 4

14 14 Q & A

15 TRAVELTracks: Review & Close Travel Requests Must process Expense Report if Company Paid Airfare was purchased. Identify Travel Requests for trips that did not occur after approval. Review each of your employee s open trips listing and, if the trip did not occur, the Travel Office at travel@txstate.edu to cancel the Travel Request. This will remove the trip of its past due status and release any unused encumbrance money. The trip will remain on the employee s trip list, but will be in a closed status and unencumbered. 15

16 TRAVELTracks: Expense Reports Please process ASAP any Expense Reports that have been returned for corrections but not resubmitted. Make sure the corrections required by the Travel Office are made before the Expense Report is resubmitted. Once the corrections are made and the traveler has resubmitted, the Travel Office at to re-audit and process the Expense Report. This will clear the trip of its past due status and release any unused encumbrance money. 16

17 TRAVELTracks: Notifications on Past Due Expense Reports Currently, the Travel Office manually s past due Expense Report notices when the trip includes a travel advance and/or company paid airfare, car, and lodging. The Travel Office manually sends the first notices and Assistant Director sends the escalations for further past due trips. The Travel Office is in the final stages of systemically sending these notices for ALL past due Expense Reports. This will be more timely as notices will be sent on the day the trips age to the next past due level. 17

18 Foreign Travel Form T-4 Update Effective immediately, all current Texas State students, employees, and guests of employees must complete one of the T-4 forms for University-sanctioned foreign trips. The T-4, T-4G, or T-4M Release of Liability and Assumption of Risk for Foreign Travel form(s) must be completed in its entirety by the traveler, guest, guardian, or Travel Assistant. The traveler or guardian (if the traveler is under 18 years of age) listed on the form must sign the completed form. The form(s) must be attached to Travel Requests or Travel Funds Commitments for foreign travel. 18

19 NEW T-4 Forms Continued The T-4 must be completed for all current students and employees, with the exception of minors, which requires a separate T-4 form. 19

20 NEW T-4 Forms Continued The T-4G must be completed for an employee s dependents, family members, or guests of traveling on the same itinerary, with the exception of minors, which requires a separate T-4 form. 20

37 FS-03 Form and e-npo Process Ensure the vendor s name and address listed on the FS-03 form matches the vendor s address in SAP. Ensure that both the vendor and Account Manager have signed and dated the form. The FS-03 form must be attached to your e-npo. The e-npo will route through the approval process, which includes Purchasing/Contracts. Do not send a paper copy of the FS-03 to Purchasing or AP if you have submitted an e-npo for this payment. Look for a new FS-03 form to be available September 1 st. Will be more streamlined for your payment requests! 37

38 Standardized Payment Process for Victory Cleaners See AP RSS A for additional details. Department creates PO for services - GL Staff member dropping off item(s) should provide vendor with their name, PO number or form, and department name. Victory Cleaners will include the PO number, employee and department name on each invoice. Vendor will use a single invoice format and invoices to AP (payables@txstate.edu) instead of the vendor sending invoices to various campus departments. This will eliminate the unrealistic burden of using various billing formats and submitting to different addresses across campus. 38

39 Standardized Payment Process for Victory Cleaners Continued If paying by P-card, no further action is needed. Vendor will provide a receipt for the P-card log supporting documentation. The expense will appear in the department s GL when the P-card transactions are processed. If no PO, payment must be made via P-card OR request an invoice be ed to payables@txstate.edu with NPO as the PO number. The name of the department and employee dropping off or picking up the item(s) will still be provided to the vendor, which will then be included on the invoice. AP will send the invoice to the department listed, who will create an e-npo for the charges using GL Do NOT create a PO after the fact. 39

Personalized items less than $100 are valued at zero. If issued to non-resident aliens, items valued at $.01 or more are reportable. Contact the Office of Payroll and Tax Compliance (5-2543) before proceeding. Gift cards are not an approved form of payment to nonemployees. Per the IRS, these payments are treated as cash and must be reported regardless of the amount. 40

AP will monitor for IRS 1099 reporting if required. Expense to GL Promotional Items Items valued at less than $100 are de minimis and not tax reportable. These do not require a W-9. 41

42 Non-employee Awards, Prizes, or Gifts Continued Recipients of cash awards, prizes, or gifts via check or direct deposit must be set up as a vendor in SAP. The payment will be expensed to GL Awards. The issuing department must provide a valid business purpose, e.g. unpaid guest speaker, contest winner, etc. If there is an on-campus contest to which the award or prize relates, attach to the payment request a scanned copy of the flyer detailing the what, when, where, and how the winner was selected.
