Purchasing Accounting Reporting Information System
PARIS 5.12 (Full Version)
PARIS (GE Corporate Payment Services' Windows T -based, transaction review and reporting software) is the software used at Ohio University to update Purchasing Card transactions and to generate reports of those transactions.
Authorized reviewers access the PARIS system to review and edit transactions for their designated cardholders. This process is completed within 10 business days of the post date of the transaction.
In this process, the authorized reviewer provides a readily identifiable description of the item purchased and allocates the charge to the appropriate accounting codes. After 10 business days have elapsed, the transaction posts (maps) to the general ledger in Oracle FMS.
The PARIS system also provides functionality which allows the authorized reviewer to generate reports of these transactions using either a predefined report or by creating their own report. these reports may be viewed, printed, or exported to another program on the PARIS reviewer's computer.
Updates to your P-CARD transactions may be completed using the web-based version of PARIS, called PARIS Review. You can access PARIS Review from any computer, on the Ohio University campus, with an Internet connection using any web browser such as Internet Explorer 5.5 or greater. There is no software installation required.
PARIS Review accomplishes the same task as the full version of PARIS under the Purchases Review, Modify, and Notes screens. The choice of which version of PARIS to use is based on personal preference.
When applying for an Ohio University Purchasing Card, you may request access to PARIS by completing the pertinent section of the application. You may also request access by completing a PCard Addendum form.
