Utility/House bill payment

I work for a public entity and would like other peoples opinions who work for/have worked for/have consulted for other public entities.
I work for a county government who utilizes eBusiness Suite applications for their day to day operations. We currently are utilizing iProcurement, Purchasing, and Payables to pay for goods and services and to encumber funds. So for purchasing office supplies or contractor services, I feel that the method of creating a requisition and PO is sufficient and the best practice. However for bill paying such as utility payments I find it kind of redundant for the department to enter the invoice as a requisition, send it through approval, and then have the AP department enter the invoice again in AP. How are other public entities handling these Invoices in which a PO is not really necessary? Our requirement is that somebody with approval authority(currently setup by position in Purchasing) approves the req. It just seems like we are utilizing the iProcurement system as a bill pay system instead of its intended functionality. Thoughts?

  • Biller Direct Electronic Bill Payment and Pool User

    Hi,
    We have an internet front end system that will encapsulate the Biller Direct pages. This system contains the user management engine.
    Biller direct can utilise pool users to connect the web server to biller direct. Would it be possible to have bills viewed and paid for using a pooled user rather than individual unique userids.
    I was then planning to implement the logic to restrict viewing by customers in the web server.
    Thank you.

    Re: Bill Payment Fees
    I do not understand why I have to pay a fee of $2 to pay my account at the post office. You are using a bullying tactic to make me do something that I am not comfortable with. You will charge me a late fee if I do not pay by a certain date but you do not even consider dropping the $2 fee when I pay my account within 2-3 days of me receiving my account at the post office. What has happened to loyalty to the customer. I have had an account with you for many, many, many years.
    I pay all my bills at the post office (house rates, water rates, power, gas and even my home phone) and am not charged for any of these. It is so, so wrong. I have rung and talked to someone but got no satisfaction. I am so upset about this. It is not just the $2, but the principle of it all. It is soooo wrong.

  • What is the difference when you enroll in your bank's on line bill payment program?

    This is really more of a general question that doesn't specifically have anything to do with Verizon Wireless.  Somebody here mentioned that it's possible to have your bank involved in paying your bills on line?  What exactly does that involve?  Does that mean all of your vendors send their bills to your bank and then the bank automatically takes the money out of your checking account? 
    Here is what I do and I'm just trying to understand the difference:  Right now, each individual vendor that I do business with routinely notifies me via email each time my bill is ready for viewing on line.  I view the statement on line first to make sure it's correct and then I charge the payment to my checking account with my bank routing number and checking account number listed and verified.  Then about 2-3 days later, the transaction hits my checking account in the form of an "e-check", I guess.  I need to be sure that I am making the payments on my own and that I am documenting all of my transactions accurately in a paper ledger book that I still use.  It still comes in handy for me to keep a manual record and check that against my monthly bank statements so I always know what my balance is.  I still balance my checkbook.  The only difference now is that I'm no longer handwriting a paper check, using up postage, or using the mailbox every time.
    The way I'm doing it now is very quick and convenient but with your bank's on line bill payment program, what exactly is the difference? 

    Thank you.  I think I'm going to leave my existing arrangement alone but that's good information to know.  I don't like any of my routine bills with the same amount per month getting paid automatically besides my gym membership fee.  That's just something I am anal about.  I usually get accused of being "fussy".  lol...But everyone is different and obviously it depends on your needs.
    I didn't realize some banks charge a fee for their bill pay system but that's definitely something I would ask about before enrolling in something like that.  I went to my bank's website which I use anyway for viewing my statements and all it provides is an on line form for enrolling in on line billing.  It doesn't give any information.  Oh well.  I'll just call my bank's customer service line or speak to a banker at my local branch in person if I change my mind and decide to look into it later on.
    So far the difference from what you described seems negligible in my case and that I really wouldn't gain much.  But then again, I just started with paying my bills on line so it's still a new routine for me.
    Thanks again.

  • Switched to Monthly Full Bill Payment and no bill

    Hopefully a mod will pick this up and look at it.
    I updated my payments before my February 2015 bill so I could pay full bill each month, the bill was generated and reports my next bill is in May 2015 not March 2015.
    When contacted BT they confirmed that I was now on Monthly Full Bill Payment, yet I have not received any bill for February to March.

    Keith_Beddoe wrote:
    I would wait a few days, as it seems to take a while to generate the latest bill, meanwhile the billing date moves forward on MyBT.
    Also, if you had been paying quarterly, you would still be in credit, the same would apply if you were on MPP.
    my billing date is the 12th of each month, it doesn't matter if i was in credit or not, i still expect a bill for this month, especially as I changed from the monthly payment plan to the monthly full payment prior to my bill on the 12 February.
    I was told that my billing had been switched over as requested, yet according to BT my next bill is 12 May, not 12 March. I don't want to receive a bill in May asking me to pay for the next quarter up front because BT can't sort out their invoicing systems. 
    I have Sky and called them up after my first payment and got the payment date changed, I have also done this with EE, T-Mobile, Virgin and other service providers in the past, yet it seems you can't do this with BT unless you are willing to pay 3 months rental in advance by going on their monthly payment plan.
    If I'm in credit with any of the other service providers I use, I still get a statement/bill advising of this and as I have some charges that are on my account for Feb-Mar with BT, then I expect to receive a bill

  • How to add a verizon gift card/credit to automatic bill payment

    How do you add a verizon gift card/credit to automatic bill payment?

    I think you can just go online and pay your bill with the gift card/credit card prior to your due date or the date the automatic payment comes out.  The remaining balance, if any, will then be taken out for the automatic payment.

  • Why is my country code is incorrect and indeed it is correct in my billing payment info?

    May I know why is my country code is incorrect and indeed it is correct in my billing payment info. I can't purchase anything from the AppStore.

    Hi,
    I had the same problem, it was asking for my security code and never was accepted. What I did is:
    Open iTunes - Go to Store -> View my account -> Enter the password
    Click Edit in the Payment information section
    It will ask for your security code, click on the NONE button and then DONE. It will say that you do not have any credit card on file anymore.
    Click Edit again in the Payment Information secction and enter the correct credit card and click DONE.
    It will store the new information and then you can use the correct security code in your IOS devices.
    I hope this works also for you. Good luck.
