Process:
This job aid will take you through the process of creating a CEC transaction to Decrease the Closed Amount and Increase the Open Amount of an award (PO/CT) transaction without impacting the total awarded amount. This is primarily used to correct 2-way-match awards where payment was incorrectly made on the award. Special case-by-case handling is needed for awards with 3-way-match or retainage, please contact CORE Help Desk for assistance.
To ensure that the Invoice and Payment Requests sections match each other in the MATA table and future payments can be processed, an Inverse IN should be processed before the creation of the CEC transaction.
Note: The IN and CEC transactions should be finalized on the same day to avoid PRN being created from the IN.
Create IN by entering INSRCH in the Global Search Bar
2. Enter the appropriate award information i.e.: Transaction Code, Transaction Dept, and Transaction ID
3. Click Apply. The transaction should appear in the grid.
4. Click the 3 Dot Menu on the right side of the award line > Related Pages > Select Lines to Invoice
5. Check the box next to the line that should be adjusted and click Invoice in the upper right-hand corner.
6. Invoice Target Transaction page appears. Enter Transaction Department, Unit (if applicable), and check Auto Numbering then click continue.
7. On the IN transaction page, enter the Vendor Invoice Number (for example if this amount was paid by GAX then the GAX Transaction ID could be referenced here), enter Invoice Date if different from the auto populated current date, and make any changes to the Transaction Name and/or Transaction Description as needed.
8. On the Vendor Tab General Information section, click on the spy glass icon in the Address Code field to search for the appropriate Vendor address code to populate and click OK on the correct selection.
9. In the Disbursement section, enter the Handling Code, Disbursement Category, and the Disbursement Format should be WARR
10. Move to the Commodity Tab. Enter the amount of the adjustment needed. In this example, we are going to decrease the amount that was paid on this award in error by entering -5000 in the Invoiced Service Contract Amount field. Ensure the Reference Type is Inverse for this negative amount.
11. Click Validate. The SC amount is negative. Overridable (A646) Warning is populated. Submit.
ONCE THE IN TRANSACTION IS FINAL:
12. Open the IN transaction and click on the 3 Dot menu in the upper right hand corner. Select Copy Forward.
13. Select CEC as the Target Transaction Type.
14. In the Target Transaction Section of this same page near the bottom, enter the Transaction Department, Transaction Unit (if applicable), and check the Auto Numbering box. Click OK in the upper right hand corner.
15. In the CEC Transaction, click Validate. The transaction should validate successfully. Submit and ensure processing to Final.
16. Verify in MATA Table or Award on the Open/Closed Amount to ensure processing successfully updated the amounts.
