Managing Settlements

This chapter provides an overview of settlements in PeopleSoft Services Procurement and discusses how to:

Create invoices manually.
Generate and print invoices automatically.
Manage invoices.
Approve invoices.
Manage invoice approval for suppliers.

Understanding Settlements in PeopleSoft Services Procurement

Managing settlements with PeopleSoft Services Procurement enables individuals who have appropriate permissions to create consolidated proforma invoices. The proforma invoice process can be optionally configured to include or exclude suppliers in the invoice approval process, based on the supplier's setup. Specific timesheets, expenses, or progress logs lines can be added or removed prior to submitting the invoice for approval. Once approved, the proforma invoice is viewed online and printed, or included in a file for export, or both.

You can grant permissions for each of the following functions:

Automatic invoice generation.
Manual invoice creation.
Invoice management.
Invoice approval.
Supplier invoice approval.
Invoice printing and processing.

With Services Settlement, you can:

Manage the invoicing and settlement process.
Invoice at varying frequencies.
Select approved timesheets, expenses, or progress logs for an invoice.
Manage invoice submittal, approval, and processing.

Common Elements Used in this Chapter

Batch Invoice Processing	Invoices that are created using a batch process that can be scheduled to run offline.
Use Flexible Date	One of three options used to specify how the Invoice Date is derived during batch invoice processing. If this option is selected, the user must specify the number of days BEFORE or AFTER the run date that will be used as the invoice date. For example, if the scheduled run date is the 15th day of every month (e.g., May 15) and the user specified 10 days BEFORE the run date, then the invoice date will be set to May 5th.
Use Specific Date	One of three options used to specify how the Invoice Date is derived during batch invoice processing. If this option is selected, the user must specify a date that will be used as the Invoice Date. This option is more appropriate for single batch process runs rather than a recurring batch process run.
Use Run Date	One of three options used to specify how the Invoice Date is derived during batch invoice processing. If this option is selected, the current date at run time will be used as the Invoice Date. This is the default option. This option is appropriate for both adhoc and recurring process runs.

Note. The end date is used to compare different date values depending on invoicing time, expense date, or progress log completion date. For timesheets, the end date is compared to the period end date. For expenses, the transaction date is used for the comparison. For progress logs, the creation date is used for the comparison when the settlement option is Percentage or Rate Based, and the completion date is used when the settlement option is Fixed Cost or Milestone.

Note. To generate invoices for timesheets, expense reports, and progress logs that fall within a specific time-period, you must enter an end date that is equal or greater than the last end date.
