Recovery of Certain State Agency Overpayments
Disposition of Overpayment Credit Memos
USAS coding instructions
When an agency receives an overpayment credit memo from a vendor, the agency determines if the recovered amounts are state or federal funds (receipts) and records the credit memo in USAS. Then, when an agency makes a purchase using an overpayment credit memo identified under the program, the state’s 50 percent share and the payment to the consultant — by amounts equivalent to the transactions that would have processed if a cash overpayment refund had been received — will be recorded in USAS.
Refer to these instructions:
Step 1: Record the credit memo
Enter a purchase voucher with a Document Type 9, Batch Type 4 using this coding block:
T-code/Title | Appropriation Number/Title |
COBJ | Appropriated Fund/Agency Fund/PCA |
---|---|---|---|
248/Vouchers Payable – Credit Memo | *Same as overpayment | Same as overpayment | Same as Overpayment/Same as Overpayment/ Determined by Agency |
* If the original appropriation is no longer available, transfer to a similar appropriation. | |||
Note: When using T-code 248, the payment distribution type (PDT) for this transaction and the corresponding payment voucher should be DD. |
Step 2: Transfer 50 percent of the credit memo
Transfer 50 percent of the credit memo amount for state funded overpayments, the proportional state amount necessary to pay the consultant’s fees, and the proportional amount of federal fund (receipts) budget and cash necessary to pay the consultant’s fees.
Note: The transfer of federal fund (receipts) amounts in excess of the amount due the consultant is not required as federal guidelines will determine the disposition of the federal funds.
