Overview

Expense Management gives the User the ability to easily view Charges and discrepancies from Vendor Invoices. The User is able to define tolerance levels based on dollar amounts and percentages. Along with audit the invoice through reports.

Defined Tolerances and Expected Charge Codes

Users can set Threshold Percent, Threshold Amount, and Threshold Status Days by the Service Catalog Type. These Thresholds are used to compare the Charge Codes on the Imported File records to those set up within the Import File Record Format to determine discrepancies. The User can also define tolerances by Charge Code. Such as Amount, Ignore, Optional, and Allow Dups.

Ignore flag is used to suppress warnings for the specified charge code and exclude from the Aggregate Report.
Optional flag is used to suppress the Expected Charge Not Found warning for the specified charge code while still checking the other Amount Thresholds.
Allow Dups flag is used to suppress warnings for duplicate charge codes.

Reports

PCR-360 offers two ways to verify Vendor Invoices: The Audit Report and Aggregate Reports.

A User can also specify the optional Retention value on the Import File Format. This is a number of days to keep the Import Files and Records that are imported with this Format. Imported records imported beyond the Retention value will be deleted from the Vendor Logs and Aggregate Data. If the value is left blank, these records will not be deleted.

Audit Report

The Audit Report will allow Users to easily view each discrepancy found, along with the Audit Code, Services Identifier, Invoice Amount, and Expected Amount based on the Thresholds the User defines. Navigate to Admin>Billing>View/Report>Vendor Charges Audit>Audit Report.

Navigate to Admin>Billing>View/Report>Vendor Charges Audit>Aggregate Reports to view the Aggregate Reports. There are three Grids available for display. They are the Import Files Grid, Service ID Grid, and Charge Codes Grid.

The Import Files Grid gives a summary of each imported Vendor File. The User can select the Import File Format they want to be displayed by using the Vendor dropdown field. The Graph shown on the Import Files Tab is a reflection of the data from the Grid below it. When filtering the Grid data, the Graph will update to reflect only that data displayed on the Grid.
