Summary of Changes

Regulatory

Mexico

Complimentos de Pagos

Mexico requires a CFDI number (Complimentos de Pagos) to be assigned to invoices and their related payments or receipts.  6.16.0.0 will allow those customers doing business in Mexico to record the CFDI number in the Invoice Entry screen in AP and ART.  The number will be visible in the Invoice Detail report in both modules.  The number will also be visible in the Invoice Inquiry screen in AP and available as an audit field in the AP Invoice Audit trail.

For check and receipt records, a new screen was added to both AP and ART that will list Checks and Receipts respectively and allow the user to register the CFDI number to the payment or receipt records.

Vendor Blacklist

Mexico requires the ability to import a Vendor Blacklist using the Spreadsheet Link module to a table in the database.  When the users enter a new document in the following screens, the process will determine if the vendor exists on the blacklist.  If the vendor does exist on the blacklist, the user is warned but is not blocked from completing the entry if desired.

United Kingdom

MTD Fraud Headers

Per HMRC, additional fraud headers have been added to the file transmission of the VAT returns to protect taxpayers from fraudulent activity.

Enhancements

Period Control Date

When changing the Period Control Date in either AP or ART, the process will look for unjournalized documents (invoices, checks, receipts) in the period that is being changed from.  If any documents are found, a report will display alerting the user to the unjournalized documents.  The user will not be prevented from changing the date, but this warning should help to reduce or eliminate documents that are journalized to the wrong period because of a change of the Period Control Date.

 

Issues Resolved

Key Maintenance Items included in 6.16.0.0

Accounts Payable

Corrected a condition where a certain combination of journalization flags caused the invoice journal to be out of balance if both VAT and WH taxes were recorded on the invoice.

 

iApprove

Corrected the validation of invoices from the Invoice Listing screen so that full validation is done on an invoice.  This prevents approvals of invoices that are not fully validated.  The Invoice Detail screen was already performing the full validation.

 

Joint Interest Billing

For JIB systems defined as Mode 6, the converted journals were incorrect having the wrong converted amounts.  JIB journalization now retrieves the correct converted amounts.

 

Spreadsheet Link

Added validation to the Invoice field to prevent the import of journal lines where the invoice number was greater than 20 characters in the invoice.

For a full listing of maintenance items, please see the 6.16.0.0 Risk Assessment.
