Finance and compliancy


Factoring management
Overview
The Factoring management improvement allows you to define different
relationships with the factor. These relationships or contracts define different ways
of managing the factoring operations in terms of risk with the final customer,
costs, etc.
There are two types of contracts with the factors:
-

Recourse factoring: The client keeps the risk

No recourse factoring: The factor assumes the risk

The current management is maintained as a third type of factoring called


Standard.

Factoring management
Setup - Factors
Factoring type: Defines the type of relationship or contract with the Factor:
Standard: This type defines the current factoring management. If the factor has
this type, it will be managed as currently and all the improvements do not apply .
Recourse: The customer keeps the risk in the case of unpaid.
No recourse: The factor assumes the risk of unpaid, but in this case, the factor
withholds an amount proportional to the invoice in case of unpaid (Reserve).

Factoring management
Example:

Setup - Factors
Reserve %: This field can only be
edited if the factoring type is
No recourse. It is the percentage
of the invoice that the factor
withholds to anticipate a possible
unpaid.

2015 Sage Software, Inc. All rights reserved.

The contract with the factor indicates a


reserve of 10%
If we send to the factor an invoice of
1000 , the factor pays us 900 and retains
100 :
a)

On the due date, the customer pays the


invoice, then the factor returns the
100 .

b)

On the due date, there is an unpaid


amount, then the factor does not return
anything and we have to consider the
100 as a loss.

Factoring management
Setup - Factors
Payment bank: Can only be edited if the factoring type is not equal to
Standard. It is the bank account that will be used in all the management with this
factor. So, the factor will be linked to an account bank (it is mandatory).
The fields Company, Site, Currency, and Rate type are fed from the definition
of the payment bank.
Company and Site will be used to control the invoices assigned to the factor.
All the journal entries in the bank account will be in the right currency
(accounts currency or companys currency) and in the right site (Banks site
or companys main site).
In case of invoices with a different currency than the bank one, the rate type
will be used to define the exchange rate.

of the invoice.
So, it is mandatory to define all the needed reciprocal accounts in each

validate a mandate even if it has no BIC code.
This management is possible manually/individually (Validation button in GESMDT) or in
mass (VALMDT function)

According to the users answer to the question Does this IBAN change corresponds
to a bank change , the following controls are done, when the mandate is saved.
Control 1 : Inconsistent BIC with a bank change
This message is returned if the user answers yes after an IBAN modification, whereas
the BIC hasnt changed.
As the BIC code is the same on IBAN1 & IBAN2, there is no BIC change when the IBAN
modification is done from IBAN1 to IBAN2. So the answer yes corresponding to
SMNDA is not possible.

Introduction
Why? Regulation and banks adopt XML language (ISO 20022 norm) for electronic
exchange between banks and companies/consumers. The first massive adoption was
the European SEPA regulation for -payment that uses this norm while including specific
rules.
What for? XML bank format was linked to SEPA regulation and included related controls
so that it was not possible to describe variable (XML) bank files without onboarding all
SEP rules, in particular currency only
Features Ability to describe non-SEPA XML bank files (direct debit/credit transfer)
Benefit Enable Sage, partners and customers to describe XML bank files (Credit
transfer, direct debit) using XML language

 Overview
 Essential payment functions of the
Swiss legislation have been
available only in a so-called Swiss
legal add-on in the past.
 To reduce implementation time and
maintenance cost, these functions
will be transferred into the core
application.

Important note:
The objective of this lesson is primarily a
description of the essential settings and
parameters related to Swiss ISR
payments.
It will not describe the payment process
itself.

 The transfer of the functions of the


Swiss add-on is phased into steps.
This session describes step 1 done
for Sage X3 Update 9.

Finance and compliancy


Miscellaneous finance/compliancy VAT function
 Why?: When installing a country, it should require you to activate the
relevant legislation only, with the associated tax process if this process
exists. If this specific process doesnt exist, it should be possible to
activate a generic one, not liked to a legislation.
 What for?: Ability to activate relevant tax declaration process depending
on legislation.
 Features: Generic declaration process that is independent from a
legislation so that it may be activated for countries that need it (Australia,
South Africa) without requiring additional legislation.
 Benefits: Ease installation.

Finance and compliancy


Miscellaneous finance/compliancy VAT function
 Overview
 This development is linked to SAM requirement #105609
 The aim of this requirement is to provide a generic VAT declaration for
whatever legislation that needs it (New Zealand, South Africa, ).
 This new VAT declaration works the very same way as the French
declaration function without needing to activate the KFR activity code.
 However, since such a function is not always required (standard
legislations already have their own VAT declaration), this new
functionality is linked to a new activity code, DCLOT VAT for other
legislations.
