Mission Statement

The mission of Data Entry is to accurately and expeditiously process (key enter) the following accounting transactions:

Workflow

Although a small unit, consisting of four individuals, Data Entry plays a key role in supplying The University's Payroll, Accounts Payable-Purchase Order (APS-PO) and Financial Accounting (FAS) systems with timely and accurate data. Daily, this unit receives "batches" (groups of like documents) from NSD, Data Control and CPS. Payroll submits batches every other Friday, Monday and the final batches on Tuesday. Each individual transaction is audited at the departmental level, prior to submission, for compliance with University policies, Federal and State regulations. CPS, Data Control, NSD, and Payroll are responsible for batching the transactions and submitting them to Data Entry. Data Entry then manually logs in the batches, gives each batch a unique batch number, "key enters" the data, and verifies the entries for accuracy. At the end of each workday, completed batches are downloaded to the University's mainframe and fed into the appropriate financial system(s).
