4.2.15 Purchase Invoice Clearance (PIME)
4.2.15.1 Update Lot Costs when Clearing Invoice (SR4042)
Purchase Invoice Clearance now updates the cost of related lots so they reflect the invoiced price of
the goods.
Subject to the following conditions, the IVCL (Clear an Invoice or Credit Note) transaction now
submits LOCC (Update Lot Costs) transactions to background in order to update the cost of the lots
which are matched to the invoice line. The lot costs are updated if all of the following conditions
are true:
• The document type is invoice (not credit note) and
• It is not a prepayment or additional costs type invoice and
• The invoice line quantity is > zero and
• The invoice line is matched to a Goods/Inventory purchase order line and
• The invoiced item is Actual costed and
• The invoice line Update Actuals flag is set to Yes.
IVCL identifies the lots for the GRNs matched to the invoice line and submits LOCC (Update Lot
Costs) transactions to background for each of these lots. The resulting GL postings to inventory are
contra’d to the account given by COSTCHG mnemonic (maintained using NMMT). If the
COSTCHG mnemonic is not defined, the LOCC transactions will fail in background.
Manual Set-Up Procedures
Ensure the COSTCHG mnemonic is defined, otherwise LOCC transactions will fail in background.
4.2.15.2 Generate Agent Commission Purchase Invoices (SR4069)
This enhancement provides the ability to generate purchase invoices (and credits) in respect of
agent commissions.
As a prerequisite, the agent must be defined within the TROPOS SORD (Sales Order Processing)
module with an Agent Type = 2 (Report Only) or 4 (Report Only, No Extras). The agent must also
be defined as a supplier payment account using the same account number.
IGCM processes commission details generated by the TROPOS SORD (Sales Order Processing)
module. It can be run business-wide or for a particular agent within the business. Commission
details can be viewed using the TROPOS ACRE (Agent Commissions Enquiry) transaction. IGCM
will process records with a Posting Type shown as Report Only and for which the Agent Document
field is not yet defined. When IGCM processes a commission record, the Agent Document field is
updated with the Our Reference number of the related purchase invoice (or credit).
The agent must be set up as a supplier payment account (LSAD) otherwise IGCM will not create
any payment invoice for this agent, and a message is written to BAMQ (Receiver = IGCM) to this
effect. Should this occur, IGCM should be rerun after the agent has been added as a supplier
payment account (using LSAD). IGCM relies on the default VAT code being defined against the
supplier payment account for the agent and this is used to calculate the VAT value on the agent
commission. IGCM will fail to process commissions if the default VAT code is not defined for the
supplier payment account, and writes a message to BAMQ (Receiver = IGCM) to this effect. If this
