Using Control Groups

 

 

Step

Action

1. 

The Business Unit defaults in. The Control Group ID will default in as NEXT. Once the group information is saved, Core-CT will generate an ID for this Control Group.

 

Click the Add button.

2. 

The Status defaults to Open. There are six options for Status but Core-CT only uses four. Entry Set Aside and Supervisor Set Aside are not advised.

 

When a control group is created and saved, the status will automatically update from Open to Assigned so that the Assigned To voucher processor can create the related vouchers.

 

After all vouchers are created for the control group, the status will change from Assigned to Ready for Review.

 

Once the vouchers are reviewed by the Supervisor, the control group must be changed from Ready for Review to Verified. This will allow the vouchers to proceed to payment.

3. 

Running a tape is optional, but advisable. This will verify that the correct dollar amounts were used when creating the vouchers. The total here must agree with the total amount from the vouchers created.

 

Click the Run a Tape checkbox.

4. 

After checking the Run a Tape checkbox, an Adding Tape group box will appear. This is where you enter the total amount to be paid for each voucher in the control group. Every voucher amount entered here will sum in the Gross Amt in the Control Total groupbox Gross Amt field (to the left).

 

Enter 5.00 in the Adding Tape field.

5. 

Click the Add button to add a new voucher.

6. 

Enter 6.00 in the Adding Tape field.

7. 

Click the Add button.

8. 

This control group will have three vouchers for these three total amounts. This controls what is created and for how much.

 

Enter 15.00 in the Adding Tape field.

 

9. 

Enter the UserID of the voucher processor you are assigning the control group to in the Assigned to field. This person must enter the vouchers for this group.

 

Enter Ives-ParisiJ in the Assigned to field.

10. 

This control group is for 3 vouchers totalling $26.00.

 

To verify/update the accounting details of the Control Group, click the Accounting tab.

11. 

Vouchers in a control group will not automatically post when ready unless Post Group is checked.

 

Click the Post Group checkbox. This will post the vouchers when they are ready for Voucher Post.

12. 

Verify that all other fields on the Accounting Page are as shown.

 

Click the Assignment tab.

13. 

Checking the Reserve Voucher Numbers option in the Voucher Numbering groupbox is optional. Doing so will reserve the voucher numbers for this control group.  If checked, the Assignee cannot create other vouchers until those reserved for this control group are completed. (This is very controlling)

14. 

Click the Save button.

15. 

Click the Yes button to update this control group's status to Assigned.

16. 

A Group number is now applied and the group is in Assigned status.

 

The Gross Amount Difference is 26.00 and Voucher Totals Difference is 3.

 

An Assigned date/time is applied as well as a Due date/time.

The vouchers for this control group will now be created by the Assigned To voucher processor listed.

17. 

The voucher processor who was assigned this control group is responsible for creating the related vouchers.

 

This page shows the summary of the vouchers created and amount totals.

18. 

This image shows one voucher has been created and two are pending.

 

Click the Vouchers tab to view voucher details.

19. 

Once all the vouchers are created, the Difference will be 0.

 

Click the Assignment tab.

20. 

Click the Status list.

21. 

Click the Ready for Review list item.

22. 

Once all three vouchers are created, and the control group is Ready for Review, click the Save button. The supervisor should now review each voucher for approval and update the control group's status.

 

Click the Save button.

23. 

Once you have reviewed and approved the vouchers in this Control Group, you should update the Status to Verified.

 

Click the Verified list item.

24. 

Saving the Group with a Verified Status allows the vouchers to proceed through payment.

 

Click the Save button.

25. 

Saving the Control Group populates the Assigned Date/Time and calculates the Due Date/Time for the Assignee.

End of Procedure.
