Creating and Submitting a Voucher
 
CPSEPortal
In this article, you will be given step-by-step instructions on how to create a voucher. 
 
Recalculation: This screen introduces a concept known as recalculation of billing items.  You can recalculate pending vouchers individually, or all of them at once.  The recalculation process determines monthly billing amounts for any enrollments that 
match the criteria for the voucher contents.  These billing items are summarized to a single item for the month.   NOTE:  Attendances must go through the recalculation and summarizing in order to be added to vouchers.  It will also add any new attendances to a voucher if the enrollment month is already on the voucher.  
 
Create Voucher: The first step in creating a voucher is to enter its important information, including specifying the billing criteria that the voucher will contain (which county, enrollment type, and school year session).
 
Voucher Info:  Clicking the "Info" button will bring up the same screen as the "Create Voucher" button, but with the voucher's information pre-entered for you allowing you to edit some information.
 
Voucher Details:  This screen is used to add new monthly billing items (and their corresponding attendances) to a voucher, you use this screen.  On the left are monthly items that are ready for billing, but not on any voucher yet.  On the right are monthly items currently on this voucher.  Note: Attendances won't be shown in the "Unassigned" grid until they are signed or co-signed, if applicable.  Check which items you would like to move, the click either "Assign" or "Unassign", depending on what action you would like to take.  The "Amount Billed" will update accordingly.  These changes do not take effect until you click "Save".
