PASSPort Financials

Contact your Agency Contract Liaison to determine whether your contract is to be managed in PASSPort Financials.

Note: PASSPort Financials is in the process of being adopted by most City Agencies but not all agencies and not all types of contracts leverage the PASSPort Financials functionality yet.

When the Purchase Order (PO) associated with your contract is in Active status, you may submit invoices on the invoiceable items for this contract. See Submit Invoices for step-by-step instructions.

All non-Human services vendors with General Services contracts or Task Orders are expected to begin submitting invoices through PASSPort immediately. Health Human Services (HHS) providers will be required to invoice in PASSPort starting in the Spring of 2024. If you are an HHS provider and interested in using PASSPort to invoice before Spring 2024, please reach out to your contracting agency to request that your contract be made invoiceable in PASSPort.

If you are unsure whether to submit an invoice in PASSPort or HHS Accelerator for a contract budget, we advise getting in touch with your contract manager at the relevant agency. They will be able to provide you precise instructions on how to proceed.

Your contracting agency is responsible for launching the Purchase Orders (POs).

A PO Number is unique to each of your contract's fiscal year purchase orders (POs) and may be used to search for your POs in PASSPort's Financials module. You may find your PO Number in PASSPort by following these steps:

1. Log in to PASSPort.
2. From the top-level navigation menu, click Contracts.
3. Click Manage my Contracts to view a list of your organization's contracts.
4. Click the pencil icon to access the contract aligned with your PO.
5. The contract's Header tab will display.

7. Click the PO Number to view the Purchase Order.

A direct way to access your POs is through the Financials module's Browse Contract Budgets search. Enter the PO Number in the Keywords field, then click Search.

To cancel a POCR Request, you will need to reach out to your contracting agency and state your request and reason. Once you have connected with them, they will be able to process your request.

Agencies may create a milestone budget where some budget lines are not invoiceable until certain milestones are reached.

We void the registered line, because the total of all budget lines must be equal to the fiscal year amount. However, the existing line can also just be edited if the existing unit price was entered as $1.00.

No. You can reduce the remaining amount on a used budget line, but not cannot void it if there are disbursed invoices against it.

No. if the item category is not in the list please select "Other". Keep in mind that for Human Client Service contracts, selecting the correct item category is crucial because the indirect rate calculation is driven by the information entered in the item category.

Budget lines in HHSA will be migrated, however the sub-level details for each budget line will not be migrated.

No, prior to an initial budget being created, the Purchase Order Budget tab will have no details budget.

PASSPort has an Excel budget template available from the Purchase Order (budget tab), that can be extracted to complete and upload budgets.

We have added new item categories in PASSPort to mirror budget lines item categories from HHSA.

PASSPort will be the only vehicle for invoicing for HHS contracts and source of truth for reporting. When invoices are submitted, providers must continue to provide all required back up documentations (stipulated in the contracts) as attachment to the invoice in PASSPort.

No. No need to attach hard copies of the invoice to the PASSPort invoice.

In PASSPort no document is required to be uploaded when creating the budget. However, please check with your agency to see if they have a document requirement.

When making budget modification you can edit the existing budget line directly in the budget tab in PASSPort or download, complete, upload the budget template with the modification. The budget template can be downloaded from the Budget tab.

Budget modifications can be approved as soon as submitted to the agency. The approval time frames vary by agencies – depending on the type of budget (lump sum, line item, or rate based).

For a rate-based budget, budget lines will be created based on the unit price.
