"Procurement card interface goes Live at Birmingham City University" - 11th March 2008
Birmingham City University, formerly the University of Central England (UCE), currently use procurement cards for the purchase and payment of low-value goods and services. An expansion of the existing card programme was undertaken that required improvements to be made to the post-billing process. The process was originally manually administered however this has now been replaced with an automated interface into the University's Accounts Payable ledger within the COA Solutions E5 financial accounting application.
elexa Consultants prepared a detailed program specification identifying where the new source files should be placed within the application. The data translation and controls via a user defined portal into the application were then developed and tested before assisting with comprehensive testing using data sourced from the back-office systems. The live process is expected to now be submitted on a monthly or ad-hoc basis.
