Supplier and Payment Maintenance (KA)

The Muli system combines suppliers and subcontractors with a common accounts payable procedure for the whole group (i.e. all companies and profit centres within the system). This allows Accounts Payable to be treated as a supplier or subcontractor depending on the nature of the transaction.

03.01 Supplier and Subcontract Maintenance

A common suppliers' file is used for all suppliers and subcontractors across all companies/profit centres. This file acts as a master control providing common information for order writing, accounts payable and system reports.

The Raising and Maintaining of Suppliers' and Subcontractors' Data.

The contractor may deal with the one organisation as both a subcontractor and supplier at the same time, or over a period of time. The only data file difference is that for a subcontractor, we require that additional information is maintained (e.g. Insurances, Superannuation, Withholding Tax).

NOTE: Check before adding a new supplier/subcontractor that the company has not been previously entered.

Add/Change New Supplier

(The supplier may be used to create either an Order or a Subcontract).

When a Supplier is viewed in the Change Mode then his status is displayed - this may only be changed by the System Administrator through Menu 19.

1. Supplier Code 5A#

The code used for each supplier when writing orders and subcontracts.

Particular care is required in establishing the supplier codes as codes cannot be changed, once they are established (while numerics can be used, they are not recommended).

Muli recommend:

2. Full Company Name 45A#

The full legal name of the Supplier (check not just business name, but the legal identity with whom you are contracting) used as name on order, subcontracts and amendments, i.e. Smith's Bricklaying is not satisfactory, it should be B.J. Smith Trading as Smith's Bricklaying.

3. Short Name 15A#

The name used within the system to refer to the supplier.

4. Address 3/25A#

The address to be typed on the order/subcontract.

7. Pickup Address 2/25A#

The address to be used for couriers, etc. where postal address is a box number.

9. Contact 2/25A#

The name and after hours phone number of the normal contacts at the suppliers will appear on the supplies listings. Should a supplier have particular perform- ance characteristics, then he may be noted in second suppliers code with reference to particular individual with company, i.e. "see Bill before use".

12. Phone No. 2/10A#

The second may be used for a fax number.

13. Payment Terms 1A (O-F)

The normal payment terms to be applied to transactions; the default terms applied to Orders and Subcontracts; the duration to payment and prompt settlement discount.

14. Retention Code 1A (A-N)

The normal retention code applied to subcontracts is a rate of deduction to a maximum value of the contract.

15. Allocation 2/4#

The normal workcodes in which the supplier works. Used for listing suppliers by workcodes and providing the default workcodes in order writing.

Default is "WC" for Workers Compensation. A 2 letter code indicating the Insurance Code. The following only codes are allowed:

19. Company (25A)

The name of the insurance company providing the insurance.

20. Policy No. (15 A#)

21. Value (15 AN)

Note: The normal monetary value. Checking does not occur as we allow entry of: "1 million" "unlimited", etc.

22. Expiry Date (6D)

23-27.

As for 18 to 21 except for Insurance type 2. (Default Contractors All Risk).

28. Building Unions' Superannuation No. (10)

The subcontractor's registration number for the Building Unions' Superannuation scheme.

29. Income Tax Number

The income tax file number of the subcontractor.

30. Exemption Certificate No.

If a supplier/sub-contractor has an exemption certificate, (i.e. an 'E' number), then it is entered here. A response of NA (Not Applicable) enters NA to PPS variation certificate, No., 99/99/99 to certificate expiry and 0 to Tax Rate.

NB: Suppliers who will ALWAYS be exempt from the PPS should only be entered as NA i.e. Telecom, Tax office.

31. PPS Variation Certificate No. OR Reporting Exemption No.

If field 30 is null, then field 31 will prompt for a PPS Variation Certificate Number. However, if field 30 is not null or N/A (i.e. where an exemption certificate has been entered), then a Reporting Exemption Certificate Number will prompted.

N.B. Subcontractors who have an 'R' number must also have an 'E' number but often don't disclose it. Fields 30 and 31 must both be filled to exclude transactions from reporting.

32. Expiry Date

This is the expiry date of either the Variation Certificate or Reporting Exemption as entered in field 31.

33. Tax Rate

If field 30 is not null, then the rate will be 0; otherwise the default is 20 but may be overwritten by the supplier's actual rate.

Advice from the Taxation Office has revealed the following:

This will enable you to determine what sort of exemption your subcontractors ACTUALLY have, because they often don't know. From July 1989 the penalty rate is 50.25% and applies when the certificate has expired or there is no tax file number for 'V' certificates.

03.02 Supplier and Subcontract Report

The supplier's file may be printed in either alphanumeric or trade order, which is determined by the Supplier's Allocation Code (the supplier may appear in two locations, thus provisions have been made in Supplier Maintenance.)

03.03 Suppliers by Allocation Report

Not yet implemented.

03.04 Payment Terms Maintenance

The Payment Terms control two aspects of the Accounts Payable:

  1. Due date for payment calculated at invoice entry.
  2. Discount is the discount applicable to prompt settle- ment with full charge made against the project and the discount is credited to Allocation 0980 Discount Earnings in the overhead project.
  3. Letters A to N have been allocated for Payment Terms.

03.10 Subcontract Questions Maintenance

Subcontract Question Maintenance allows the development of schedules and default response to be used with subcontracts.

Generally, this system should only be used for shortened schedules - if general special clauses are required, then they would be added to standard contract documentation. The object is to maintain the schedule on one page.

Each subcontract type used would have its schedule and responses developed in this area. A large repetitive Project may have its own special version.

The schedule on Page One of the Subcontract is controlled by a maintenance code called "COMMON".

03.12 Standard Text Maintenance

A number of standard 21 line text types can be developed, summarised by a code that can be presented to the User at time of Order/Subcontract writing reducing repetitive input.

Text types for all types of orders and amendments are available, including invoices (Accounts Receivable). On selection of the Menu, the type of order test is required.

Entries Correct (Y/N)

Then you have 21 lines which will be the standard text which will appear under the text type.

If you do not use a text type, in other words, a one off order, then you would use the 21 lines as the specification for the order. If you do not wish to use any of the 21 lines allocated, hit return to jump over this phase ("skip" on the old system).
