The supplier BP invoice entry function is used to manage the supplier invoicing process outside of the typical sales cycle.
This function cannot be used to manage the order or the receipt note for the stock receipt (etc.). When issuing the invoice, the data required for accounting is recorded.

As for customer tracking (open item statements, payment management, etc.), the process is similarly carried out for invoices that come from the complete cycle or that come simply from the entry of a BP invoice.

  • In this document, the term 'invoice' has a generic meaning: it can be an invoice, a credit note, a debit note or a credit memo.
  • Invoices generated from recurring invoices cannot be deleted if the invoices are used as the reference template (first/original recurrence).
    Additionally, the invoice should not be modified if it is also used as the reference invoice.

For Swiss legislation: Refer to the Swiss localization how to guide for detailed information on setting up and using ISR (Inpayment Slip with Reference) or QR-bills.

Specificities linked to supplier intercompany invoices

If the company is set up for intercompany invoices, a reference to a target company, site, and the dimensions for each line can be entered.

If the target company does not match the source company, the general ledger accounts associated with the target company will be used along with the target company dimensions.
The following occurs if the target company entered on the line is not equal to the source company:

  • The first account column is linked to the COA of the target company main general ledger.
  • For the subsequent COA columns, an entry is made only if there is a COA for this ledger type in the accounting core model of the target company.  If not, then the column will be skipped. 
  • Only the dimension type codes associated with the displayed/entered ledgers can be entered. If the ledger is not displayed, then the dimensions for the target company cannot be entered. 
    SEEWARNINGAn error will occur if dimensions are required for the analytical ledger and the source company does not include an analytical ledger, but the target company does.
  • For the column name, the COA name of the source company ledger will always display even if it is different than the target company.

When the invoice is posted, separate journals are generated in the source and target companies using the designated debit and credit accounts from Intercompany account mapping.

Prerequisites

SEEREFERTTO Refer to documentation Implementation

Limitations

When the invoice is entered in tax-inc. mode and an additional or special tax code is present (entered or automatically loaded from the account), the amounts of the three tax levels must be entered manually.

Deleting intercompany invoices is allowed only if the SIVSUP - Invoice/journal deletion parameter (TC chapter, INV group) is set to "Yes" for all companies (source and target).

Screen management

Posting customer BP invoices involves three tabs containing the characteristics of each part of the invoice body.

Header

First, the key accounting information of the invoice must be entered:

  • The site
  • The invoice type
    SEEREFERTTO See the documentation on the customer invoice type
    This information determines the category of the document (invoice/credit memo/debit note/credit note), the automatic journal, the journal and the journal type that will be used when posting the document,
  • The document number (where a manual numbering range is authorized)
  • The document posting date, by default that of its receipt in the folder
  • The identification code for the supplier and the control account on saving the document.

This information defines:

  • The invoice header
  • The invoice lines
  • The invoicing address

After this data has been recorded, click Post to:

  • Pass the invoice in accounting. Click Journal to view the accounting document generated on the validation of the invoice.
  • Automatically create an expense for each supplier BP invoice line, when the Fixed assets module is managed in the folder and when the conditions are met, the  expense creation modalities are detailed below. 
    The Linked expenditures selection list displays the expenditures created that way and is used to access the management function of the selected expenditure by tunnel.

Intercompany invoicing example

One company (source) pays health insurance for itself and another company (target). A portion of the invoice is an expense of the source company and a portion of that invoice is due to the source company from the target company. When the invoice is entered in the system, the invoice lines in source Company A is as follows:

Tab Header

Invoice characteristics

Some fields in the header are used to complete the invoice:

  • Amount-tax and Amount +tax fields
    The entry is optional. Upon entry of the amounts in the invoice lines, these are automatically displayed in the corresponding fields in the header. The following warning message displays during creation if the header fields have not been entered: 'Totals different from header'.
  • The link between a credit memo and the original invoice via this invoice number, or the link between the credit memo and the credit memo request number from the customer, etc.,
  • A service period that indicates by start and end date ranges, the part of service to be taken in advance for the next period or fiscal year. These fields are only activated if the SVC - Periodic accruals activity code is active. The expense or revenue to be taken in advance are generated in the Closing accruals (CPTSVC) function.
  • The default analysis that is applied to the payments for the BP accounts. It is possible to define the default dimensions in the invoice header (see the Default dimensions).

Open item characteristics

The remaining fields are used to characterize the payment conditions for the invoice:

  • Pay-by BP
  • Choice of the payment due date
  • Payment approval level (accessible based on the FLGPAZ - Management of payment approvals parameter value)
  • EU invoice flag, used to condition the generation of VAT entries on an intra-community acquisition. If it is an EU invoice, the Tax inc. amount calculated in the invoice lines is always equal to the Ex-tax amount, but VAT postings are generated.
  • For the 1099 form (specific to the United States), if the 1099 check box is selected, the invoice will include the elements to be declared as per the 1099 declaration. There is no control on the value. This check box is only available if the supplier is selected for 1099 management,
    SEEREFERTTO See the documentation on suppliers for further information
  • For the management of open item statements

Once the invoice has been saved, you can click the Open items action to view the open items and the payment stage.

The Status field indicates the status of the invoice with respect to the accounting validation. The Pending status can be selected in order to disable the access to the Validation action and to the invoice selection in the global process.
The status must be set to Pending for the invoice to be posted manually or globally. This modification is carried out either manually, on a case-by-case basis, or in a more global manner via the appropriate processing.
SEEREFERTTO See the documentation on Invoices on hold for further information.

Tab Lines

This grid displays each of the invoice lines from an accounting point of view:

Nature

If the account is subject to dimensional accounting, it is necessary to define its nature. At general accounts level, it is possible to define a nature linked automatically to an account. The nature field cannot then be modified.
SEEREFERTTO See the documentation on General accounts for further information.
On the other hand, if a nature screen has been defined, it is possible to choose a different analytical nature conforming to the screen.

Dimension types

If the accounting amount is not distributed over several analytical dimensions, the 'Allocation' field cannot be assigned. The entry is achieved directly in the following columns, in the dimension concerned, for each of the dimension types.

Default dimensions can be defined at the level of the nature, but those defined by the default dimension processing have priority.
SEEREFERTTO See the documentation on the default dimensions.
