ACH Payments

Corporations and donors may wish to make a payment via ACH (direct deposit) rather than send a paper check or use MSB to provide payment to the school/department. In these cases, the school bookkeeper can submit the ACH set-up request using the ACH Request Smartsheet form.

ACH Request (Smartsheet)

• The requirements are: the amount is =/+$5000.00 (for each payment) and is not a GRANT. 
• Accounts Receivable (AR) will process the request. You will receive an email with confirmation that it has been set up, or with any questions, further clarification, or information needed.  
• Do not share the District EIN or bank account with a company prior to following the process.

MSB Equipment (Heartland)

• MSB Equipment (Hardware) Order Form (card reader(s) and other MSB equipment) Complete the order form.  If you place an order for a card reader or for paper you will receive an invoice from Heartland and can follow the instructions on the invoice to pay with your PCard. If you order items that require a PO, you can place the order at the same link and will receive a price quote. Use the price quote to create the PO in Oracle. Once you receive the invoice from Heartland, add the PO number and send the invoice to Accounts Payable (AP) for payment.

Banking Supplies

• Banking Supplies (deposit slips, deposit bags, bank stamps) -  To place an order, please submit a request in the SAF Bank Supply Order Smartsheet. 
• You must provide a Checks Wholesale Payment Authorization Form with your Purchasing Card (P-Card) information. Download the payment form in PDF and complete all sections except for ACH Payments, sign it, and scan and attach it to the Smartsheet entry. Do not fill it out online as it loses the formatting.  If the Payment Authorization Form is not attached, your order will not be processed. 
• The SAF team will fill out the order details (invoice number and amount).  You will be notified with the date that your order is placed.  Please allow 10 business days for your order to arrive once the order has been placed. 
• If you have any questions about your order, please comment on your Smartsheet submission or send an email to MySchoolBucks@dpsk12.org.

SAF Deposit Pick-up/Armored Car Service

• SAF Deposit Pick-up  Armored Knights is the armored car service vendor for DPS. SAF deposit pick-ups can be on an 'as needed' basis. You can submit a request for a one time pickup (if you are not already on a bi-weekly pickup), using the Armored Car Pickup Request (Smartsheet). You will receive an email confirmation when the pickup is scheduled. 
• The driver pickup window is 7:30 - 3:30. Please have someone available during that time.
• Do not send SAF deposits with your lunchroom pickup. 
• For all deposit pickups, have your deposits fully prepared and sealed in a bank deposit bag (no envelopes or zip-lock bags) and available to hand over to the driver. The driver has little to no time to wait while the bookkeeper or the deposit(s) is looked for. Thank you for your consideration.
