Invoice Overview

• MyFloridaMarketPlace routes invoices based on commodity codes.

– Service orders, orders beginning with a “70-94" route IRs to the requester.

– Commodity orders, orders beginning with a number other than “70-94" require the completion of a receipt in MyFloridaMarketPlace.

• To process payment on an invoice, Finance & Accounting should look for receipts for commodities and approved IRs for services

Invoice Overview

Invoice Reconciliation Basics

Defining Invoice Reconciliation (IR)

• Invoice Reconciliation is an action MyFloridaMarketPlace must take to process an invoice for payment.

– The process reviews and approves invoices for payment

– It is an “audit” of invoices


IR Status

• Reconciling is awaiting approval by the requester or Exception Handler.

• Approving is awaiting approval by the Invoice Manager or DFS.

• Rejected is rejected by the Exception Handler or Invoice Manager.

• Paid is processed completely.


How MyFloridaMarketPlace Processes IRs

• Electronic invoices, PO- and Contract-based invoices create IRs.

• Invoice Reconciliation pre-audit

– Commodities – MyFloridaMarketPlace three-way match

– Services – MyFloridaMarketPlace two-way match

– MyFloridaMarketPlace lists discrepancies or differences on the IR as "Exceptions“

• Invoice Reconciliation workflow

– Commodities IRs route directly to Exception Handler

– Service IRs route to the Requester or the “On Behalf Of”

Invoice enters MFMP

MFMP pre-audits invoice &

creates IR

Exception Handler “Audits” “Submits” IR to

Invoice Manager


Reconciling means to “audit” the IR

• Verify that for service based invoices, the service Start and End Dates are on the invoice. If not, add the information to the comment section of the IR.

• Review the Header Level exception and the Line Level exceptions.

• Verify:

• The requester or OBO completed the receipt for the commodity,

• The transaction date is valid,

• The accounting information,

• There is no confidential information on the IR.


Invoice Reconciliation Workflow


Defining Roles• Exception Handler

- Normally the first Finance and Accounting Approver

- Responsible for reconciling all exceptions

- Confirms the invoice matches the terms of the order

- Confirms agency received goods or approved services

- Confirms the transaction date is accurate


Defining Roles

• Invoice Manager

– Confirms the invoice should be approved

– Confirms the invoice is in compliance with Florida Statutes, Rules, Department of Financial Services (DFS) Expenditure Guide and all relevant Chief Financial Officer Memos

– Confirms the transaction date is accurate

– Last agency approver of the invoice

– FLAIR records Invoice Manager’s FLAIR username and password in FLAIR upon IR approval

– If the Department of Financial Services returns the IR for additional information, DFS adds the Invoice Manager to the approval flow


Invoice Reconciliation Tabs- Exception performs the match and displays discrepancies

- Approval Flow displays approvers

- Invoice details invoice as originally created

- Order displays information from the order with a link to the requisition

- Receipts documents agency receiving

- History tracks all changes and edits


• Two Types of Exceptions

– Header Level, which applies to the Invoice Reconciliation as a whole.

– Line Item Level applies to each line.


Header Level Exceptions

• Amount Variance

- Total cost of the invoice is different than total cost of the purchase order.

• Auto Reject Amount Variance

– Invoice amount does not match the amount remaining to pay on the PO.

• Invoice Reconciliation Already Exists

– An IR with the same invoice number and supplier already exists.

• PCard Order

– To prevent duplicate payment, MFMP does not allow customers to process invoices against orders marked on the requisition as a PCardorder. Process these invoices in FLAIR.


Line Item Exceptions

• Accounting Verification – Common to every IR

• Quantity Variance – Quantity on IR differs from quantity on PO

• Price Variance – Unit price on IR differs from unit price on PO

• Received Quantity Variance - Received quantity on IR differs from received quantity on receipt

VPT Overview

• Vendor Performance Tracking (VPT) is the tool agency customers use to enter and monitor vendor performance on a per transaction level

• MyFloridaMarketPlace (MFMP) generates a survey after an invoice reconciliation (IR) moves to ‘Paid’ in MFMP

• Surveys generate for the following transactions:

– State Term Contracts (STC)

– State Purchasing Agreements (SPA)

– Agency Term Contracts

– Other transactions equal to or above $2,500 (including governmental entities)

VPT Surveys

• Surveys pre-populate with transaction-specific information

• Customers rate vendors across four categories ranging from 1 (Fails to Meet Most Requirements) to 5 (Exceeds Most Requirements):

– Performance to Specifications – e.g. compliance to contract specs

– Delivery – e.g. on-time delivery

– Invoicing – e.g. accurate billing

– Customer Service – e.g. prompt/courteous customer service

• Comments may be entered for a survey

– Vendors have the ability to view comments relating to their ratings

• Completion of the survey is optional

• MFMP displays the cumulative VPT ratings during the vendor selection process

VPT Ratings

Ratings display to the right when

selecting a vendor. To see the

vendors rating by category, click
