18. Introduction - OnBase
OnBase is the tool that the University uses to electronically store many different types of documents, including PCard Transaction Documentation.
It is an electronic system that interacts with multiple systems to provide document storage functionality allowing for efficient access to documents
A detailed guide for uploading documentation for PCard transactions can be found on the following website:
NOTE: Please be aware that the Pcard reconciliation process can vary from department to department. Some of what may be covered may not apply to you.

19. Types of documentation to upload
At a minimum, upload:
Receipt
Invoice (if applicable)
Business Food/Meal Purchase Authorization (If Applicable)
Other Documentation:
Proof of Delivery (Highly Recommended)
Approvals
Other documentation that supports the expense

20. The Basics – Uploading documentation
Scan the documentation for each transaction separately
Save files on your computer or other accessible network location (i.e. Bonsai)
Navigate to the appropriate transaction in PeopleSoft Financials
Click on the “Public Purpose” link
Click on the “Documentation” link
This will open OnBase.
If no new window opens, check your popup blocker.
If nothing has been uploaded for the transaction, OnBase will say “No Folder Found”
Click the Arrow at the top of the window to go to the upload screen

21. Uploading documentation Continued
On the left side of the upload screen, click “browse” or “choose file” (varies by browser) to locate the file for this transaction.
Alternatively, you can drag and drop the files from you computer to the Import window. You can drag multiple files at a time (up to 5)
Select the file and click “Open”
This will take you back to the upload page and you will see the file selected, the file format updated, and a preview of the document.
No other configuration is required.
The document you selected has been queued up, awaiting upload. You can queue up to 5 documents at a time
To upload, select the appropriate document in the queue, view the preview to be sure it matches and then click “Import” on the bottom left of the screen
A message indicating “Import Succeeded” will appear next to the document in the queue
Repeat for each remaining document in the queue

22. Count of Uploaded Documentation
On the main “Reconcile Statement” page, there is a column called “OnBase Count” that lists how many documents have been uploaded for each transaction.

23. Viewing Uploaded Documentation
FROM ONBASE UPLOAD SCREEN:
Click the folder icon in the upper left of the window.
FROM PEOPLESOFT FINANCIALS:
Click “Documentation” button on the “Public Purpose” screen
OR, click the number in the “OnBase Count” column from the main “Reconcile Statement” page.

24. Deleting documentation
End-Users do not have the ability to delete
To delete a document, please send an to with the following information and we can delete the document centrally:
Transaction Number
Merchant
Amount
Transaction Date
Document Upload Date
Important! You do not have to wait for the wrong documentation to be deleted in order to upload the correct documentation. It is important to upload the correct documentation as soon as possible.

25. Tips
I’m in OnBase on the upload screen, how do I know I’m uploading documents for the right transaction?
Look at the keywords located on the left side of the screen: last 4 digits of card, cardholder name, merchant, transaction amount, etc
Compare the keywords in OnBase to the documents to be sure they match
I received additional supporting documentation after the transaction is closed, can I add documentation?
You can go back and upload documentation at any point, even if the transaction is closed. Simply select “Closed” for statement status from the “Reconcile Statement Search” page
Do I need to name the file in a specific way before I upload it?
NO! When a document is uploaded into OnBase, it receives a new name automatically that helps to identify what transaction it is for. It is currently structured as:
PCARD – Transaction Documentation – MERCHANT – TRANSACTION DATE – BILLING AMOUNT – Uploaded DATE
PCARD – Transaction Documentation – AMAZON.COM – 10/17/14 - $42.88 – Uploaded 10/24/2014

26. Tips Continued
Do I have to wait until the end of the month to upload documents?
NO! With transactions being loaded daily into PeopleSoft Financials, the reconciliation should no longer be a process you complete at the end of each month. Instead, transactions can be verified, approved, and documents uploaded on a continuous basis.
This will help alleviate the workload that has to be done at the end of the month
What do I do with the original document after I have uploaded it?
Once uploaded, you can destroy the original document
It is important to verify that you can view the documentation for the transaction in OnBase prior to destroying the original
Keep in mind that if you have to return an item, some merchants may require the original receipt

27. Scanning tips
Be sure to scan documents for each transaction separately.
If you have multiple documents for one transaction, those can be scanned as 1 document.
Scan documents in the order of your transaction list in PeopleSoft Financials. This way, if your scanner uses a sequential naming convention, the documents will be in the same order. This will make it easier to select the right document for upload.
Some departments have found it useful to rename the file in such a way that it makes identifying which transaction it pertains to easier, without having to open it.
Many use Konica Minolta multi-function machines: If you have a keyboard attached to your Konica Minolta it will make it easier to name the file as you scan.
Keep in mind that the file name changes once it is uploaded into OnBase, so only change the name if it is helpful while uploading.
