9.2 Performing Voucher Build

Purpose: Use this document as a reference for performing voucher build, view process messages, and review build errors in ctcLink.

Audience: Accounts Payable staff.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

ZZ Voucher Processing

You must also set these User Preference Definitions:

User Preferences: Voucher Processing

If you need assistance with the above security roles or User Preference Definitions, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

Regardless the data source, the same Voucher Build process is run. For example, Payment Vendor Payment, SF Student Refunds, and AR Refunds.

It is recommended to establish each user with the specific access associated with their job duties and is not recommended to simply copy one user's access to another user as this could lead to overallocation of access. However, there are situations where a group of staff within a single department all require the same access to perform similar work. In that case, the COPY function provides the ability to apply all Process Group definitions from one user to another without having to search and enter each Source Transaction and Process Group combination.

Please refer to the QRG 9.2 FSCM Security - Process Groups
