Approving P-cards in Munis

Overview:

MUNIS > Dashboard > Workflow Approvals Tile
Transactions that are pending approval appear in the Site Administrator’s MUNIS Workflow as type “APC”. Approve transactions by the 15th of each month.
MUNIS workflow refreshes every 30 minutes. Approved items may appear in the workflow after they have been approved. Click the refresh icon, located in the bottom right-hand corner of the workflow, to see which items are still pending approval.
MUNIS and TCM work best in Internet Explorer.

Open MUNIS. Workflow tiles appears on the MUNIS dashboard (circled below).
Click “Approvals”.
From the “Approvals” pop-up, select a P-Card Transactions, labeled “APC”.
Click on the blue APC pending approval link.
The P-Card Statement Screen opens. Click “Transactions” in the icon menu bar to review the transactions within the statement. Or type the letter "t" for faster access.
For each transaction, review the Charge Description, Account Code, and Receipt (via TCM, the paperclip icon; if prompted, select the “Purchase Card Transaction” attachment type). Use the arrows at the bottom of the screen to click through each transaction on the statement.

P-Card FAQSee More

P-Card FAQ

Overview:

MUNIS Dashboard > P-Card Statements
P-Card transactions are uploaded to MUNIS daily.
The answers to several FAQs can be found here.

FAQs:

How do I allocate a P-Card expense to multiple account codes?

When you update the account code on a transaction, tab to the amount column and update that as well. Then tab to the next line, add a second account code, and verify that the remaining amount transferred correctly.

I have more than one MUNIS P-Card statement for a P-Card holder, why?

You will have statements from prior months show up if you are doing an open ended search. Try this:
- Search by Statement ID:
- 122014 - December 5^th Statement and Transactions
- 012015 - January 5^th Statement and Transactions

All of my TCM Transaction receipt titles show up on the left of the TCM window, not just the receipt I selected.

That is correct. The program does this to be helpful for quick searches. When clicking on the TCM title, the receipt information will show up on the right. Select the appropriate receipt.
It is important that each receipt is scanned and attached by clicking on each individual transaction, as MUNIS does assign unique transaction ID numbers and search information to each TCM Transaction receipt.

I made a purchase yesterday, but it is not showing up in MUNIS.

Most credit card payments do not show up in Bank of Montreal for a few days. We pull transactions into MUNIS daily, importing the transactions that posted in Bank of Montreal the day before.

What if I accidently release a statement before I have reconciled it against the Bank of Montreal printed statement?

Are all transactions for the billing cycle included? If so, ask your principal not approve the statement, keeping it in “released” status. As long as it is in release status, you can still update the MUNIS statement. Update account codes, TCM Transaction Receipt, and descriptions. Attach the Bank of Montreal printed statement to TCM. Your principal can now approve.
If the statement is released before the end of the billing cycle, follow #1 (except that you won’t have the printed statement yet). Releasing MUNIS P-Card statements before all transactions have been imported for the billing cycle will result in MUNIS creating two MUNIS Statements for that billing cycle. Attach the Bank of Montreal printed statement to both MUNIS Statements for the card holder. Both MUNIS Statements should equal the Bank of Montreal printed statement total. Call Accounting with questions.

How can I ensure that I correctly attached the Bank of Montreal printed statement to the MUNIS TCM Statement window for a P-Card holder?

Click on the TCM camera icon in the header statement window. The title of the image should be under the heading “Purchase Card Statement”.

Where do I find the that report that shows me how I allocated to a specific code, like Student Activities?

Click on Search, define statement ID for billing cycle (122014 for Dec 5^th statement)
Click on the PDF Report button.
GL Account totals are by P-Card holder.
