The Disbursement Voucher (DV) document is used to reimburse employees and nonemployees for expenses incurred while conducting university business and to pay other vendors for performing a service, or providing material goods for the university. Most often this payment is in the form of a check although direct deposit (ACH) and wire transfer options may be available.

The disbursement voucher may be used in situations in which a payment is not processed through another procurement method, such as purchase order or procurement card.

Institutions may have different rules for the processing of payments, but the following are some instances in which a disbursement voucher might be used:

·         An employee needs to be reimbursed for the purchases of supplies for a project that were paid for out of personal funds.

·         A department wishes to purchase a subscription to an academic journal.

·         An honorarium is needed for a guest speaker.

·         Research participants need to be compensated for taking part in a scientific study.

·         An employee needs to register in advance for a work-related conference.

A disbursement voucher requires more information than most financial documents. Each disbursement voucher must include the following information:

·         Who is to be paid (the 'Payee')

·         Why the payee is being paid (the 'Payment Reason')

·         How much the payee is to be paid and how the payment is to be made (the 'Amount' and 'Payment Method')

·         All information on the Contact tab.

·         Users must also keep the following points in mind about DVs:

·         Some payment reasons, such as travel payments, may require that additional information be entered.

·         Payments that are to be disbursed via check or ACH (direct deposit) will be passed to the KFS Pre-Disbursement Processor (PDP) for additional processing and disbursement.

·         Because the KFS does not have check writing capabilities, fully approved disbursement vouchers must be passed to an external check-writing program for payment after they are processed in the PDP.

Document Layout

The DV document has several unique tabs - Payment Information, Contact Information, Special Handling, Nonresident Alien Tax, Wire Transfer, Foreign Draft, and Pre-Disbursement Processor Status - in addition to the standard financial transaction tabs.

 

 

In addition to the Document Overview and Accounting Lines tabs, two DV-specific tabs, Payment Information and Contact Information, are always required.

·         The Payment Information tab contains information regarding the payee, payment reason, payment method, documentation location, and attachments.

·         The Contact Information tab contains information relating to the initiator and contains the text to be included on the check stub.

Other tabs may be required based on the selections made in the Payment Information tab.

Payment Information tab definition

Title

Post Code

 

After you select the payee ID from the Payee lookup searchicon, the system automatically fills in the address information.

Check Amount

Required. Enter the total amount of the disbursement for this document.

Due Date

Required. Enter the date or select it from the calendar cal. The default date is the earliest date that a payment can be made (assuming the KFS is processing batch transactions nightly, this is typically the next business day). If you wish the payment to be made as soon as possible, do not change the default date. If you wish to delay a payment until a future date you can set the due date forward. Payment information is not extracted from the KFS until the due date.

Payment Type

Optional. Display-only. The payment types are determined by the payee selected for the DV. These values apply only to DV payees, which are established through the use of the Payee Type document. Each Payment Type attribute from the Payee Type record that is evaluated when the DV is submitted may have an impact on the ability to process a particular payment on a DV, and how it routes for approval.

Is this a foreign payee? If the payee is a nonresident alien, select 'Yes'.

Other Considerations

Optional. Special Handling: Indicates that the payment should be mailed to a person other than the payee. For example, a check needs to be returned to the document initiator so it can be express mailed or picked up by the payee. When selected, a message asking you to add a note explaining the need for special handling is displayed and complete the special handling tab.

Payment Method

Required. Select the method in which the payment should be made from the Payment Method list.

Check/ACH: This selection generates a check or, if ACH information exists in the disbursement processing system for this payee, an Automated Clearing House direct deposit is initiated.

Foreign Draft: This selection indicates that the payment is to be made in a foreign currency. When you select Foreign Draft as the payment method you are prompted to complete the Foreign Draft tab. In this section, you indicate whether the DV is stated in foreign currency or US dollars, and what currency the payment is to be made in. For example, the DV could be stated in Euros and paid in Euros, or the DV could be stated in US Dollars converted to Euros for payment.

Wire Transfer: This selection indicates you wish to have the disbursement wired to the recipient. To do so you are required to provide additional banking information on the Wire Transfer tab. Some institutions may charge a fee to the initiating department for processing a wire transfer. Wire transfers may be made in US Dollars or foreign currency, similar to Foreign Drafts as described above.

Documentation Location Code

Required. Will default as SA - Scan and Attach Documents.

Check Stub Text

Required. Enter the information regarding the payment itself, intended for the payee. This commonly includes what the payment is for (invoice number, for example) or other information to assist the payee in identifying the source and reason for the payment.

The payee ID is required on the Payment Information tab. This identifies the person or business the disbursement is paid to. Payees must exist in the system in order to be selected on the disbursement voucher. The KFS uses the Vendor table and the KIM Person table for reference. If the payee already exists in the system, you can identify it by searching for it by using the Payee lookup.

Several KFS parameters exist to control which types of payees can be selected for a given payment reason. After clicking search, the restrictions for the selected payment reason are displayed at the top of the lookup.

Contact Information Tab

When the DV document is first initiated, the Contact Name, Phone Number, and the Campus Code default to those of the initiator's.

http://int.kfs.kuali.org/kfs-int/static/help/ImagesExt/image45_78.jpg

The Contact for a DV is typically the initiator, thus the contact information is typically the name and phone number  of the initiator.

Institutions may create their own restrictions for object codes and payee type based on payment reasons.

 

Payment Reasons

When processing a DV document, users must indicate a payment reason by selecting a Payment Reason Code from the Payment Reason list in the Payment Information tab. The payment reason identifies the nature of the disbursement and determines what restrictions the disbursement is subject to.

Choosing a payment reason may restrict the other choices you can make on the document. For example, most payment reasons only allow certain object codes and some restrict whether the person being paid can be an employee or nonemployee.

The current payment reasons for using a disbursement voucher are explained below as typical examples:

Routing

The DV document must route through a series of approvals before the disbursement is actually made based on the rules set up by the institution. Due to its unique nature, the DV document has some special routing issues which are explained below:

The DV document first routes to the fiscal officer for each account in the Accounting Lines tab.

After it has been approved by all required fiscal officers, the document routes, as specified by the institution's rule, to the organization review routing level.

After the document has been approved by all organizational approvers, the DV document goes through any special routing as required by business rules surrounding the attributes of the transaction and the payee.

The document status becomes 'FINAL' when the required approvals are obtained and the transaction is processed by the institution defined process, which might include the Pre-Disbursement Processor.
