Bulletin Name: Quick Pay Voucher Rejection Change
Purpose: The Quick Pay Voucher process has been changed to allow certifiers to reject and automatically resubmit a voucher to the CAS without re-keying. This change will especially benefit operators who must re-key documents that have multiple payees, charges and/or invoices.

Each batch of Quick Pay and Scheduled Contract Payment Vouchers requires an online certification by a finance officer or designee. The certifier must certify or reject each voucher. The online procedure to review and certify a voucher remains the same. The online procedure to reject a voucher has been changed to allow the certifier to reject and resubmit a voucher, which causes the voucher to be automatically reentered on the next day.

TO REJECT AND RESUBMIT A VOUCHER: With the voucher visible on the screen, type the word 'RESUBMIT' in the command input area at the bottom of the screen and press the PF8 key. Message 916-VOUCHER REJECTED will appear on the screen. The BCL will print with warning message 934-VCH TO BE RESUBMITTED to confirm the voucher has been flagged for automatic reentry.

The next day the voucher will be in a new batch exactly as it appeared in the original batch. The new batch will have a different batch number. A data entry operator can then access the voucher in Quick Pay Correct and make the necessary changes before certification.

A new daily report has been designed to provide agencies with a list of resubmitted vouchers and their new batch numbers. The VOU788 - Resubmitted Voucher Listing - will print on agency printers the day after the voucher is rejected and flagged for reentry. If no vouchers were rejected for resubmittal, a VOU788 will not be printed.
