Rate methodologies. Beginning with 2015-2017, DAS SFS has adopted a rate development process that enables the successive refinement of budget planning and rate development. Charges for DAS SFS services are based on the projected needs in terms of DAS SFS full-time (FTE) positions, services and supplies and current legislative approved program. The objectives included: To develop rates that represent the true cost of delivering a service, progressively eliminating previous subsidization of costs. To develop documentation that is transparent so that rates can be scrutinized internally and externally. Customer charges will be based on: Accounts Payable “transactional hits” in past biennia. Accounts Receivable transactional “hits” in past biennia. SFS accountant hours for accounting and budgeting services in past biennia. Note: An Accounts Payable transactional hit is defined as a specific SFMA transaction resulting from allocating or posting an AP/ payable transaction such as a VP (voucher payable document used to pay a vendor), or a BT (balance transfer for payments among state agencies) to specific Fund or PCA codes already defined in an agency accounting structure. If one payment is allocated to 2 different PCAs it is computed as 2 AP transactional hits. Similarly, an Accounts Receivable transactional hit is defined as a specific SFMA transaction resulting from allocating a revenue transaction (such as creating an invoice or posting a cash deposit) to a specific Fund or PCA code already defined in an agency accounting structure. If a cash deposit or an invoiced amount is allocated to 2 different PCAs it is computed as 2 AR transactional hits.
