2. Revenue is recorded for the billing unit as per the chart string(s) on the bill.

3. Invoices are printed on standard forms displaying the billing unit’s name, address and phone number.

4. Invoices with a remittance stub are printed, stuffed and mailed centrally.

Payment and Payment Application Processes

Payments are (ideally) mailed to the bank by customers.

Bank sends UVM file with payment information.

UVM applies payments to receivables based on the Invoice ID.

For payments sent to the cashier’s office (or to department and then cashier’s office), cashiers record payments manually.

PeopleSoft Setup for UVM

At UVM, each department is going to be a Business Unit.

There is also one Bill Type for one department/unit.

Every department is going to have a Business Unit and Bill Type of its own.

Invoice IDs are associated with Bill Type and start with the Bill Type.
