US Bank charges late fees on past due purchasing card (PCard) accounts. Agencies are invoiced in the amount of up to one percent (1%) per month on the amount overdue, or a minimum of $2. Late fees are included on your monthly statement from US Bank and available to view in SWIFT. However, the Late Payment transaction cannot be reconciled the same way other transactions are reconciled.
To pay a late fee associated with a PCard statement, agencies must manually add this fee to their monthly PCard voucher by adding a line and entering the information. Make sure to enter Late Payment Charge in the Description field. In the Account field use Expense code 430008 (Interest Pd To Vend Late Pymt). After the line has been added, provide the voucher number to SWIFT Help Desk to have the transaction removed from the PCard pages.
 As a reminder, pay PCard statements on time to avoid potential late fees, take advantage of available rebates, and avoid potential violations of Minn. Stat. § 16A. Purchasing Policy 1b requires that Purchasing Card Coordinators use Access Online to review statements and monitor account activity.
- If you have questions regarding PCards, please contact the SWIFT Help Desk.
- For questions regarding the state contract or Purchasing Card Use Policy 1b, please contact Robbyn Overall.

Refunding customers requires collaboration between Accounts Receivable (AR) staff and Accounts Payable (AP) staff. Refunds are initiated with a maintenance worksheet in the AR module. There is a batch process that shares refund information with the AP module, where a system-generated voucher is created for the refund payment. In order to make a refund payment to a customer, the customer must have a Supplier ID. Customers are set up at the Business Unit level, whereas Suppliers are shared enterprise wide for the State of Minnesota.
Before starting a refund, you must locate the Supplier ID and connect it to the Customer record. The Customer and Supplier must be linked together for this process to work. Once the refund payment has been completed in the AP module, it is important for agency staff to disconnect that Supplier ID from their customer record. If you do not disconnect the Supplier ID, another agency wanting to process a refund, will be unable to connect the Supplier ID to their customer record. Therefore, no further refunds from other agencies can be processed for this customer.
To learn more about customer refunds, please refer to the Processing Refunds Quick Reference Guide.
