- You will need:
- Itemized receipts or invoices, packing slips, and the business purpose within 7-10 business days
- Fund source guidelines
- Access ECManager.
- Enter your user ID and password.
- Click Review transactions.
- Select a date option from the IFIS posting date drop-down field:
- All
- Specific date
Note: The IFIS posting date is the date that the transactions will post to the operating ledger.
- Select either a Card Suffix or Default Index option.
Note: Selecting ALL in either the Suffix field or Default Index field will return a list of pending transactions for all of your cardholders.
- Optional: Select a dollar amount if you want to limit your review to transactions that meet a specific dollar amount or monetary range.
- Select a Sort By option.
- Select a Sort Order option.
- Select the number of transactions you would like to display on the screen at one time.
- Review each transaction using the information gathered in Step 1
- Match the back up documentation with the transaction email notification
- Ensure the purchase is in compliance with all UC and Express Card policies. If not, take the steps required to correct the violation
- Ensure all required purchase documentation is attached to each transaction
- If a dollar amount displays in the Use Tax field, check the transaction receipt for this purchase to see if the vendor charged tax.
- If the vendor did not charge tax, DO NOT change the Use Tax field. ECManager has calculated the appropriate tax for you.
- If the vendor charged tax at the point of sale, change the amount in the Use Tax field to zero. This change will prevent your department from paying tax twice.
Note: Transactions from out-of-state vendors who are registered with the California State Board of Equalization but do not list sales tax as a separate line item are subject to use-tax calculation.
For more information on use tax, see:
- Change indexes or account codes. The account code should always be changed from the default 638018 to more accurately reflect the type of purchase that was made.
Note: You can type over the existing index or account, or click on the magnifying glass icon to search for and select an index or account.
- Split transactions between indexes or account codes in equal or unequal amounts.
For instructions, see:
- Click the Comment icon if you would like to add a comment.
Note: You can use the comment box to document the reason for the purchase or your changes.
- Click Save.
Note: If you have additional pages to review and have completed the transactions on the current page, click Save/ Next Page.
- Click Print.
Note: Transactions that have been edited will appear in gray. Transactions that have been split will occupy multiple rows.
- Click Return after printing to go back to the main menu.
- Attach the email notification to the back up documentation (itemized receipt and business purpose)
- Sign, date and file
- Ensure that the documentation is retained and accessible for audit review
