In Define, you can create and process payment vouchers. These are a type of electronic document that processes payment to vendors, reimbursement to employees, and reconciles procards. The various types of voucher payments are listed below with more information on each one. The VPE example training video includes some basic info on using Define and what steps to follow after submitting vouchers in Define to ensure the document is fully processed and approved.
Section on VPE:
VPEs are used to pay vendors for goods, for entertainment related purchases, and employee reimbursements (except when related to travel). They tend to be the most common voucher payment type that we process. The resources linked below can give you a better understanding of VPEs and how they work.
This VPE example video will walk you through the step-by-step process on how to process a VPE and how to submit the documentation that goes with a voucher. This video also contains basic info on Define including how to login in and understand the screens you will be reading.
Section on VP1:
VP1s are another form of voucher payments. This type is used when the purchase includes alcohol and/or there was a Purchase Order for the purchase.
This VP1 example video will walk you through how to process a VP1.
Section on VP2:
VP2s are used to pay for services that do not have a purchase order or alcohol. Some examples of these are:
- Copier machine payments
- Academic membership payments
