Transaction List
To review a transaction, click on any part of the
trans. to go to the transaction detail record.
The Transaction List screen will automatically
display. The most recent transactions are
displayed at the top. You can sort many columns
by clicking the heading, once for ascending,
again for descending.
8
Transaction Detail Record
The transaction detail record shows the default
chartblock (speedtype, account, subclass).
Change it where needed. It can be split between
several chartblocks. Include trans. notes,
click Reviewed and SAVE to save changes to
this detail record!
Descriptive transaction notes are required, and
are provided to assist the approver BYU to
understand the business nature of the transaction.
9
Transaction Notes

• Transaction notes are REQUIRED
• Provide sufficient note detail so your approver
  and administrators understand the transaction,
  its business nature and purpose, etc. (For
  meals, federal requirements also include
  documented business purpose and names of those
  hosted)
• Remember, your approver assumes dual
  responsibility for this transaction!

10
Utah State Sales Tax

• Utahs tax rate 6.25 (Restaurants 7.25)
• BYU speedtype 11890096 account 1200
• If purchase is made from Utah, and merchandise is
  shipped to Utah, and sales tax is charged, almost
  100 of the time it is Utah sales tax and is
  refundable!
• If physically out of state while making purchase,
  any sales tax paid is not refundable, and if
  charged is part of the purchase price.
• Tax is not to be calculated unless invoice
  specifies sales tax is included in total!

11
If sales tax is included on your receipt, click
the use sales tax calculation button. It
will prompt you for the tax. Note all Utah
restaurants, grocery and super stores charge
sales tax!
12
Since BYU is only tax exempt in the state of
Utah, state/zip information (built for Church) is
n/a for BYU. Enter Utah sales tax in the
Estimated Sales Tax box. This amount will show
on your Trans. List screen and will be deducted
from the transaction total when posted to BYUs
G/L.
Insert transaction note, and SAVE!
13
Sales Tax Split Transactions

• If you split the transaction between multiple
  chartblocks (speedtype, account, subclass) and
  Utah sales tax was charged, one row in the
  PaymentNet split must be for Utah sales tax!
• Speedtype 11890096 Account 1200
• DO NOT USE THE ESTIMATED SALES TAX FIELD ON SPLIT
  TRANS!

14
You can SPLIT the transaction total between up
to TEN chartfields (speedtype, account,
subclass). If, as in this case, sales tax was
charged, it must be a ROW in the split, charged
to 11890096-1200. Otherwise it will not be
deducted from your split transaction. SAVE split!
15

either Est. Sales Tax or included in Split
fields!
16
Electronic Dispute

• PaymentNet enables cardholders to dispute
  transactions online, where you
• Disagree with a posted transaction
• Disagree with the transaction amount
• You should first try to seek resolution with the
  vendor. However if satisfactory results are not
  obtained, or the vendor is not cooperative
  Dispute!

17
Electronic Dispute
After contacting the vendor (telephone usually
provided!) click Dispute. There is a fee assessed
to the vendor, so use good judgment.
18
You must select a reason for disputing the
transaction. Provide additional information
(names, explanations, etc.) to enable JPMC to
process the dispute on your behalf. BYU does
not pay for timely-disputed transactions!
Cardholder will need to print, sign and fax a
provided form to JPMC launching the dispute.
Click Save button!
