January 18, 2016 TMC Update Notes UIPS Transition: Summary of TMC Changes Effective January 18, 2016 The Unified Invoice Processing Systems (UIPS) is a central routing system that will receive all electronic invoices from suppliers, and then route the invoices to the appropriate invoice approval system (TMC for TMC units) for reconciliation and approval. For the UIPS implementation, please note the following summary of TMC invoicing changes. For TMC users, all electronic invoices will be sent through TMC (no longer approve in epay). As a result, Some invoice statuses and invoice rejection reasons will change. Invoice Rejection status notification and invoice error status (currently AP status) notification will be handled differently. GL accounts will be predefined and assigned to invoice line items automatically based on Chart of Accounts (COA) governance. These GL accounts will override the GL accounts that are initially assigned to items when placing a TMC order. You will no longer need to add GLs to non-po invoices and cannot override GLs. For the invoice line item exception Item Unmatched, you will only need to select the item and click Accept. When using the Search function to perform an invoice search, you will notice There will be an additional search criteria field added called UIPS Invoice Number. This new field will also be displayed in the search results and is only used for A/P invoice research, if needed. The Status field search filter dropdown list contains the new invoice statuses. Changes for Client Pay Units Client-Pay invoices now come through TMC even if they have not in the past. These invoices need to be reconciled and acknowledged. Reminder: When placing orders that are not client-pay, units will need to select the Client-Pay No radial button on the requisition checkout page before submitting the order. If a client-pay invoice is approved, the final status of the invoice will say Received for Processing instead of Approved. No update is sent to the client and no payment will be sent to the supplier by Sodexo. If a client-pay invoice is rejected, the final status of the invoice in TMC will say Received for AP Review. No update will be sent to the client. There will be a new invoice rejection reason in place called Client Pay Customer# Charged in Error. Although this would be an uncommon occurrence, you should select this rejection reason if Sodexo should pay this invoice.
Changes to Invoice Search New Invoice Search Options: 1. A new search filter called UIPS Invoice Number is a system-generated number that is available for use for troubleshooting an invoicing issue with Accounts Payable. 2. UIPS Invoice Number appears automatically in invoice search results. 3. Status search filter dropdown contains new invoice statuses. See the following page for descriptions of the new invoice statuses.
