AiM – Integration Technical Specifications: Purchase Order Invoice

Functional Description

The University of Connecticut’s (UConn’s) Facilities Operations and Building Services (FOBS) organization selected AiM, an Integrated Workplace Management Solution (IWMS) provided by AssetWorks, as the software to manage Operations and Maintenance (O&M).  In addition to utilizing the AiM software, UConn also decided to execute the hosted solution offered out of their Wayne, PA data center. In order to accurately track costs, perform maintenance, route work, etc. AiM needs to include all purchase orders associated with work orders that are managed by FOBS.

Currently, the System of Record (SOR) for UConn’s Purchase Order Invoices is Kuali Financial System.

Impact

This function will allow purchase order invoice data to be entered in the Financial SOR by the department charged with keeping that data accurate and up to date.  The data will be pulled in near real-time to the O&M software.  This makes sure the financial control process is followed properly, funds are allocated and managed and encumbrances are reflected while properly associating costs with the work done.

User Story

System of Record (SoR)

Purchase Orders invoices are generated in KFS once a purchase invoice is receivied.  An example an Purchase Order Invoice record from KFS is shown here:

 

Integration Point(s) for SoR Data

Once a PO is created and the Purchase Order Doc Status is “OPEN” the PO should be created in AiM.

Once the PO is invoiced and paid in full, the Purchase Order Doc Status is “CLOSED” in KFS.  This should be pushed/pulled to the corresponding AiM PO.
