Invoices that are received will be scanned to “invoices”. This will direct them to our electronic software, Docuware. The item will then be forwarded to the appropriate Program Director for approval, and they will indicate the appropriate cost centers / allocations. Bookers will then review the approved coding and entered fiscal software. If there is a question or concern about approved coding by the bookkeeper they will speak with Director of Finance, Ethan Terrio. Once invoices are entered into fiscal software, checks will be printed. The check stub and invoice will be attached to each other and filed in the fiscal department.Paper documents will continue to be maintained in fiscal until we go 100% paperless, then all documents will be stored in Docuware.
