Screen management

The entry screen is made up of a header displaying the expense identification information and one to three tabs, according to the level of detail required and the entry screens set up in the Job object transactions.

The three standard tabs are the following:

  • The Main tab contains the different characteristics as well as the valuation and account allocation information for the expense.
     
  • The Allocations tab is used to enter the geographical, analytical, economic and budgetary allocations for the expense.
     
  • The Other info tab is for free fields.

The left list contains several lists:

  • Expenses displays the list of all the existing expenses or those corresponding to the selection carried out,
  • Grouped expenses only displays the expenses that have been grouped with the expense currently being viewed, in order to construct a fixed asset,
  • Capitalized expenses displays all the expenses available to generate an asset.

Header

The header contains the expense identification information, such as the financial site to which it is allocated, its reference, its line number, and its description.

Tab Main

The main tab is used to enter:

  • Descriptive information including the object of the expense: the references for the supplier, product, order, date, types and invoice references as well as the transaction currency,
     
  • The accounting group as well as the info linked to VAT management: activity sector as well as the various coefficients used to infer the deductible VAT coefficient.
    Note: for companies which are not subject to the French legislation, only the deductible VAT coefficient is used and thus displayed.
  • The valuation amounts for the expense expressed in the transaction currency and converted into the company currency.
     
  • The account allocation of the expense in the CoA plan and if it is managed, in the IFRS plan. The CoA plan is used to specify the allocation retained in the company accounts (national accounting standards). The IFRS plan is used to specify the allocation retained in the consolidated accounts (IAS/IFRS).

In the case where the Field associations are set up for the Expense object, the Group can determine the different field values, including the account allocations.

Tab Allocations

This tab is used to enter the different allocations for the expenses:

  • Geographical allocations by specifying the site and location.
     
  • Analytical allocations by describing the recipient of the expense and, either the distribution key that determines these allocations, or directly the analytical sections for the defined axes.
     
  • IAS/IFRS allocations by entering the UGT as well as both IFRS sectors on which the expense is allocated.
     
  • Budgetary allocations. These allocations can be specified for information purposes.
     
  • Subsidies: it is possible to specify is the expense is subsidized. In this case, when the investment project, which the expense is posted to, benefits from one or several grants, the grant amount allocated to the expense is filled automatically by the Grant calculation processing. When the expense is linked to a financial asset which subsidy depreciation plan was closed and the Reconsideration of the previous subsidy is prohibited (GRTPRVUPD parameter to No), the process of the fiscal year closing of the Accounting and fiscal contexts activates the forcing flag of this amount in order to prohibit its update (and the update of the depreciation base of the asset on the subsidy plan).
     
  • Otherwise, the Source section specifies if the expense comes from a supplier BP invoice, purchase invoice, or stock issue, in which case the ..\FCT\GESLOF_01.jpg button is used to go to the management function of the element from which the expense creation originated.

Tab Other info

This tab is dedicated to the management of free fields. The number of free fields managed, their titles, the miscellaneous tables assigned to the control of the Code-type free fields and the currency for each Amount-type free field depend on the setup carried out at Free field properties level.
These free fields are to be used according to the management requirements, to store the data not covered by the Main and Allocationtabs.

It also displays information useful to the expense tracking: origin of the creation (transaction entry, import or split, etc.), code of the user at the origin of the creation followed by the creation date, and finally the code of the user who carried out the last modification followed by the date of this modification.

A button displays a window presenting the journal of the events generated for the expense.
