TIPS I m in OnBase on the upload screen, how do I know I m uploading documents for the right transaction? Look at the keywords located on the left side of the screen: last 4 digits of card, cardholder name, merchant, transaction amount, etc Compare the keywords in OnBase to the documents to be sure they match I received additional supporting documentation after the transaction is closed, can I add documentation? You can go back and upload documentation at any point, even if the transaction is closed. Simply select Closed for statement status from the Reconcile Statement Search page Do I need to name the file in a specific way before I upload it? NO! When a document is uploaded into OnBase, it receives a new name automatically that helps to identify what transaction it is for. It is currently structured as: PCARD Transaction Documenation MERCHANT TRANSACTION DATE BILLING AMOUNT Uploaded DATE PCARD Transaction Documentation AMAZON.COM 10/17/14 - $42.88 Uploaded 10/24/2014 o o
TIPS CONTINUED Do I have to wait until the end of the month to upload documents? NO! With transactions being loaded daily into PeopleSoft Financials, the reconciliation should no longer be a process you complete at the end of each month. Instead, transactions can be verified, approved, and documents uploaded on a continuous basis. This will help alleviate the workload that has to be done at the end of the month What do I do with the original document after I have uploaded it? Once uploaded, you can destroy the original document o It is important to verify that you can view the documentation for the transaction in OnBase prior to destroying the original o Keep in mind that if you have to return an item, some merchants may require the original receipt
SCANNING TIPS Be sure to scan documents for each transaction separately. If you have multiple documents for one transaction, those can be scanned as 1 document. Scan documents in the order of your transaction list in PeopleSoft Financials. This way, if your scanner uses a sequential naming convention, the documents will be in the same order. This will make it easier to select the right document for upload. Some departments have found it useful to rename the file in such a way that it makes identifying which transaction it pertains to easier, without having to open it. o Many use Konica Minolta multi-function machines: If you have a keyboard attached to your Konica Minolta it will make it easier to name the file as you scan. o Keep in mind that the file name changes once it is uploaded into OnBase, so only change the name if it is helpful while uploading.
