     • If the invoice does not fall into one of the exceptions above and the default Pay Terms exceeds 30 days, select "Net 30" from the dropdown.
     • Correct usage of supplier Pay Terms allows OAKS FIN to calculate late interest charges, early payment discounts, etc. (based on the Invoice Date).

      

There are 5 required fields in the Distribution Lines section. These fields are referred to as “FSSs” and are: Fund, Account, ALI, Department, and Service Location. When using a SpeedChart, it is critical that information is entered in a specific order for OAKS to correctly update the FSS lines.

8. Is a SpeedChart provided on the Invoice/FSS Pre-Processing Form?

   1. YesYes

      • The SpeedChart is used in OAKS FIN as a shortcut to enter frequently used FSS combinations. When SpeedCharts are used, the Distribution Line pre-populates so there is no need for any manual FSS entry.

      If partial coding or an invalid FSS string is provided refer to "Working an Exception Code 96: Invalid SpeedChart/Coding."

      1. Enter the SpeedChart Key in the SpeedChart field.
         • Always look up a SpeedChart on the "Vendor Account Table" for Non-PO vouchers when there is no coding provided on the PPF.

         • If a SpeedChart contains distribution lines, the invoice amount must be entered prior to applying the SpeedChart. Best practice is to always enter the invoice amount when applying a SpeedChart.
      2. The SpeedChart Key will automatically populate the Distribution Lines with the agency pre-determined FSS values.
         • If the SpeedChart was created with multiple FSS lines, the lines will display in the Distribution Lines section. Each line will allocate the amount entered in the Line Amount field based on the percentages set during the creation of the SpeedChart.

      2. Enter the Account.

         • The appropriate Account Code must be used. An Account Code is acceptable if the description of the account code closely relates to the goods or services received.

                • The entire amount of a voucher can be entered into one distribution line or split across multiple lines as applicable (e.g., sharing cost between two different departments).
