Supplier Settlement

The functionality of Midoco Supplier Settlement has been significantly enhanced. This manual thus replaces the previously available manual „Leistungsträgerabstimmung – Benutzeranweisung" from 2006. 

Terms used in this document are explained in the Abbreviations/Definitions section.


General Notes:

  1. In all tables the columns can be dragged to another position (left or right) by left click+hold.
    In all tables the contents of the columns can be sorted by clicking on the column name:

    1. Ascending at first click
    2. Descending on second click

  2. In all tables it is possible to access a context menu with a right click.
    This context menu provides standard operations of Midoco and the respective table.

  3. If several suppliers are to be settled with one file, there are two ways to proceed:

    1. There is a column "Supllier" in the settlement file and this column is loaded accordingly.
    2. The suppliers are assigned to one settlement group.

      i.e..: XTUI, TUI, TUID share settlement group „TUI"; if a file with the service provider "TUI" is loaded, only the booking number and not the LT code is used when matching the suppliers in this group.

  4. Differences / Tolerances:
    Since small differences often occur with some suppliers, an option was created to set a tolerance for them.
    In order master data at supplier level, the tab "Settlement differences" has therefore been created. 
    Here you can enter whether (you may define absolute values as well as percentage values):

    1. The purchase price may vary ("(Purchase) Price Difference")
    2. The revenue of the can vary („Revenue/Commission Diff.")

    This must be set per supplier and per travel type. If the tolerance should be the same for all travel types, you can enter a " * " there.
    Furthermore, the account to which the difference is to be posted needs to be specified.
    This ensures there are no more open entries on the corresponding accounts.
    Note: it should be checked whether the differences have to be subject to VAT/VAT (if necessary)
    → see Supplier Master Data - Settlement Differences

  5. Settlement of purchase price and commission for a supplier within a package:
    If a commission is to be settled for an item within a package in addition to the actual purchase price, there are two ways to proceed:

    1. Purchase price and commission are imported and booked in separate files.
    2. The purchase price, included in the file  is reduced by the commission, then import and posting can also take place in one file.

    Note: The revenue accounts of the package supplier ( flagged as "Tour Operator) are used for the commission. If defined, also the account "Commission Receivable" set there is addressed.
    If the commissions are to be broken down further, the functionality "Virtual Accounts" in conjunction with "Product Types" can be used. 

Supplier Master Data - Settlement Differences

To handle differences the tab "Settlement Differences" is available in Supplier master data. Here you can define whether a difference (percentage or absolute amount) should be ignored by Midoco.

Furthermore, the difference determined can be posted to a separate account, within the defined tolerance.


"Settlement Differences" tab in Order Master Data / Supplier

Field description:

  1. (Purchase) Price Difference
    here you enter the maximum amount by which the settled amount may differ from Midoco.
  2. (Purchase) Price Diff Percent
    here you enter the number (percent, without percent sign) by which the settled amount may differ from Midoco.
    Note: it is only possible to enter either an absolute amount or a relative amount.
  3. Revenue/Commission Diff.
    here the revenue amount is entered, by which the revenue of Midoco vs settlement may differ at most.
  4. Revenue/Commission Diff. Percent:
    here you enter the number (percent, without percent sign) by which the revenue of Midoco vs. settlement may differ at most.
    Note: it is only possible to enter either an absolute amount or a relative amount.
  5. Supplier ID:
    this field is automatically filled by Midoco using the Supplier.
  6. Travel Type:
    with this field an individual difference can be entered for each travel type.
    Note: If you do not wish the difference to be restricted by travel type, then enter " * " (asterisk) in this field.
  7. If the difference, which is within the specified tolerance, is to be posted to a separate account, you can specify this here:
    1. Diff Account without VAT
    2. Diff Account with VAT
    Note: The selection "vat-free" vs "vatable" is based on the VAT of the service.
    Note 2: If you do not want to post the difference to a specific account, just leave these fields empty.
  8. Vakid From:
    The validity of the settings is defined here.

Note: Only in the case of price differences (Midoco vs. settlement) the difference will be posted.

If the calculated commission according to Midoco differs from the settled commission, no difference is booked.

Program functionality description for handling partial and full purchase invoices

  1. if a booking was marked as a deposit 
    1. in the tab "Bookings" this item is displayed with status "green", a posting is created against the account initially addressed for the remaining value.
  2. if a posting was not marked as a deposit and
    1. the difference is within the tolerance and
      1. an account is specified
        --> In the tab "Bookings", this item is displayed with status "green" and the difference is posted to the defined account.
      2. no account is specified
        --> In the tab "Bookings" this item is displayed with status "green" and the difference remains on the corresponding posting account (no extra posting).
    2. the difference is outside the tolerance and
      1. an account is specified
        -> In the tab "Bookings", this item is displayed with the status "Difference" (orange/yellow/+/-) and the difference remains on the corresponding posting account (no extra posting, previous program behavior).
      2. no account is specified

Importing a settlement file


Opening the dialogue

The dialogue ist opened via the menu "Reconciliation / Supplier Settlement / Electr. Supplier Settlement":


Import dialog (menu)


To load a settlement file, use the "Import" button on the left:


Settlement import


Importing a settlement file using a defined file format


Open the combo box and select the supplier of which you received the settlement. If the supplier is not defined there, no special format is available. 

In this case continue from point "Import of a file using the generic 'MIDOCO' option"

List of currently available formats:


FERIENRSP
AIRPLUSFTISCAR
ALLHMRSCHAUINSLAND

ERV_ATLTU
EVO_TODOGER




Import dialog



Import combobox


After selecting the supplier, enter the settlement date or select it using the calendar function.
A click on the "Browse" button opens the file selection.
Here you select the file to be loaded and confirm with "Open".


Select file


The content of the file is now displayed.
Lines, which do not belong to the settlement (for example, blank lines or column labels), must now be removed.
To do this, highlight the corresponding line(s) with the mouse and delete them with the "Del" key (on the keyboard).
If too many lines have been deleted by mistake, the import process must be cancelled (button "Cancel") and restarted.
Note: You can also delete the lines that are not required for the settlement (this usually only affects blank lines or headers) in the source file in Excel, for example.
You should not delete any settlement lines, as the settlement then differs from the document and is therefore falsified.
By confirming with "OK" the entries are transferred to Midoco.
During the transfer, a formal check of the contents of the individual data elements is already carried out (e.g. whether a date field contains a date). Depending on this, a corresponding error message may appear (see "Error handling").



Data to be processed

The imported settlement is displayed in Midoco in the tab "Electr. Supplier Settlement".

Special Case BSP-Settlement


The procedure is slightly different for BSP settlements:

  1. BSP statements are usually provided in a ZIP archive (file extension = .zip).
  2. This archive may not be unzipped, this is done during import.
  3. After selecting the file, the "OK" button in the window is disabled for a while. This is due to the large amount of data included in a BSP file.

After a short moment, the button changes to a clickable state.



Selection of a BSP settlement as ZIP archive

4. Instead of the data to be imported, the message "[BSP.zip]" is displayed:


BSP settlement loaded

5. After clicking "OK" the message "BSP_FILE_UPLOADED" appears, the file was uploaded successfully



BSP successfully loaded

6. Depending on the file size, it may take a while (a few minutes) until the settlement is ready for further processing in the tab "Electr. Supplier Settlement". 
If even after this time the settlement does not appear in the list (search with: "Entry date" = [today] and click on "search")

    1. the statement was loaded earlier and therefore rejected by Midoco.
    2. the settlement is incorrect and therefore cannot be imported.

7. A BSP file contains all data required for further processing, therefore, unlike some other upload processes, no further query window appears.

Note: During a BSP settlement, the system checks the ticket number because it is unique. There is no check of the Supplier.
Note: In order to correctly assign a BSP settlement to the respective organisational units in Midoco, the agency number must be entered for each unit. (BSP Supplier, order master data, in the tab "Agencies".
Furthermore, the checkbox "Batch settlement" mut be activated.


BSP Agency no

Import of a file using the generic 'MIDOCO' option


Instead of a supplier in the drop-down list, the entry "Midoco" is selected.
Additional fields will then appear in the dialog.
After entering the settlement date and clicking on "Browse", the file selection opens.



MIDOCO generic option


Here the file to be imported is selected and confirmed with "Open".


Select file to be loaded


The content of the file is now displayed.
Lines, which do not belong to the settlement (for example, blank lines or column labels), must now be removed.
To do this, highlight the corresponding line(s) with the mouse and delete them with the "Del" key (on the keyboard).
If too many lines have been deleted by mistake, the import process must be cancelled (button "Cancel") and restarted.
Note: You can also delete the lines that are not required for the settlement (this usually only affects blank lines or headers) in the source file in Excel, for example.
You should not delete any settlement lines, as the settlement then differs from the document and is therefore falsified.
By confirming with "OK" the entries are transferred to Midoco.
During the transfer, a formal check of the contents of the individual data elements is already carried out (e.g. whether a date field contains a date). Depending on this, a corresponding error message may appear (see "Error handling").



Loaded file (MIDOCO generic format)

Now select the date format and, if necessary, the decimal indicator similar to the imported file:



Loaded file (MIDOCO generic format) - date format, decimal indicator


Then activate the checkbox "Needs Supplier Matching", this changes the display of the data in the window.


Loaded file (MIDOCO generic format)


Now select the supplier by clicking the "info" button or enter it directly.
If the Supplier is found within the file and the column assignment was already done in the past, Midoco will recognize this and immediately apply this setting to the corresponding columns.By confirming with "OK" the entries are transferred to Midoco.
During the transfer, a formal check of the contents of the individual data elements is already carried out (e.g. whether a date field contains a date). Depending on this, a corresponding error message may appear (see "Error handling").

If the checkbox "Needs Supplier Matching" is activated, the display in the window will change.
Now select the supplier by clicking the "info" button or enter it directly.


Loaded file (MIDOCO generic format)


Right-clicking on the individual columns opens a menu.
The entries in the menus are shown below.


Each column is assigned to the corresponding entry from the selection list according to its content.
However, it is not necessary that all columns have an assignment, but all entries with a green check mark must be assigned to a column, otherwise no settlement can be created.

Explanation of the mandatory entries:

    1. Settlement Issuer = Supplier
      Note: if there is no supplier in the file, an empty column can get this assignment, because the LT code has already been entered before.
    2. Booking ID = Matching criteria, this entry is used to find the corresponding item in Midoco (in combination with the LT-Code)
    3. Travel Date = to match the travel date saved in Midoco
    4. Billing Date = Billing date of the settlement item


To make full use of the settlement functionality, it is recommended to assign as many columns as possible to the corresponding entries in the selection list.

 If an assignment turns out to be wrong, this can be cleared by clicking on the "Delete" entry (the assignment of an entry to this column is deleted).


  1. Settlement
    1. Agentur No.
      Number of the agency, important for possible assignment to the correct subsidiary organizational units.

  3. Commission
    1. Currency
      If the supplier is to be settled in a foreign currency, this currency must be included in the settlement file in another column and assigned to this column in Midoco.
      This compares the "Purchase Price FCY" of the item with the foreign currency price according to settlement.
      Note: in order to use the foreign currency functionality, settings are required.
      If a foreign currency is used, the display in the order and in the settlement changes:

      Remove the "Commission Amount" column from the assignment. Midoco will now automatically calculate the net amount from the settlement and compare it with the net amount in Midoco.
    5. Net Amount
      Price (Net amount) of the service.
    6. VAT Amount
      This is the VAT amount of the service.
    7. VAT Percent
    8. Comm. Insurance Amount
      This column is used if the supplier is an insurance company.
      Note: To ensure that the insurance commission of the respective service provider is correctly assigned, activate the checkbox "Insurance" in the supplier master data.
    9. Commission NoVAT
    10. Deposit?
      Note: enter  "is deposit" = "1", "is NOT deposit" = "0" 
    11. FX Amount

    12. FX
      Note: see pont a) in this list.
    13. Conversion Rate


After finishing the column assignments, confirm with "OK".
This settlement format is now saved for the selected supplier.

This means that the next file (with exactly the same structure) can be read in without re-assigning the columns to the selected fields.

    20. Manual Entry
      indicates that the position has been converted into a manual booking, i.e. at least one manual posting record has been entered and saved for this record(siehe Manuelles Buchen)
    21. Status (Indicators)

      shows the status of the position, the "Status" column can have the following content:
      1.  - the record has not yet been checked
        All other states occur only after a data record has been checked:
      2.  - no matching service was found (booking ID does not exist)
      3.  - a corresponding service was found, the amounts match
      4. - A corresponding service was found, the amounts match. The tiny orange dot in the lower right corner indicates that this (potentially also other purchase positions) were not yet booked.
      5.  /  - a matching service was found, a difference was calculated (the settlement shows a higher amount / revenue than Midoco)
        Note: the difference can be made up of several postings with this booking ID (e.g. from another settlement)
      6.  /  - a matching service was found, a difference was determined (the settlement shows a lower amount / revenue than Midoco)
        Note: the difference can be made up of several postings with this booking ID (e.g. from another settlement)
      7.  - a matching service was found, a booking is not necessary (order with errors or amount 0,00)
      8.  - the settlement position was marked with "manually checked"
      9. - an error has occurred (for example, it was determined during posting that a required cost center does not exist, an exact error message appears at this status)
      10.   - the Form of Payment in the statement vs. the order does not match
      11. - from Release 19.4: the related order/item has an error which potentially may lead to wrong journals being created. The order errors need fixing first and this transaction needs to be checked again prior to being able to create journals for it. This status blocks this transaction from being booked for as long as it has this status.
      Note: This is a step-by-step check: 
      1. first it is checked whether the settlement amount matches the service price in Midoco (deviations are shown in orange (+/-)
      2. then it is checked whether the settled commission matches the commission calculated by Midoco (set on the respective service provider in the order master data under payment conditions) (deviations are shown in yellow (+/-). If there is a difference as described under i., it remains orange (+/-)
      Note 2: Depending on the settings on the tab page "Settlement Differencies" in the respective master data of the supplier, the display of the differences may vary. This means that differences may not be displayed because they are ignored according to the settings.
    22. Order The symbol indicates whether an order has been found, a click will opens it.
    23. Check
      by clicking on the icon, the individual item is checked (e.g. useful after changes in the order)
    24. Split
      Here you can split a position (e.g. several services were invoiced in one booking number)
      Note: The "Split" function will only be available if the position to be split has not yet been posted
      Click on the icon to open the following dialog box:


Here it is possible to enter another booking ID. If the supplier is different, you can replace it.
The amount belonging to this position is entered in the "Net amount" field.
Note on BSP settlements: Tickets cannot be split as they are clearly assigned to a specific ticket number.
Note: the amount in the "Net amount" field must be less than the predefined amount, but also greater than zero, otherwise a zero posting would occur in both cases (an error message appears) 

After confirming with "OK", the original position is reduced by the amount entered.

A new line is created with the entered amount. This settlement item behaves in the same way as all other items. There is no longer a reference to the split item.
An amount that has already been split up once can be split further, in accordance with the conditions above 

Buttons:

  1. Set Item Price
    If a service has been found for the booking ID and the settlement amount differs from the expected settlement amount, the service price in the order can be adjusted according to the settlement amount by clicking this button.
    Hinweis: there is neither a further question nor a confirmation of this action. After clicking, the column "Price acc. to Midoco" will show the same amount as in column "Price acc. to settlement".
  2. Export
    the result table is exported as it appears on the screen.
  3. Print
    a PDF file is generated
  4. Refresh
    The table is reloaded, e.g. to refresh all entries after filtering, but also to solve display problems / update problems of the display (e.g. after checking or splitting of entries)
  5. Report
    Clicking this button will open a dialog.
    After confirmation with "OK", the corresponding export is carried out, including the differences.

Report dialog

     6. Overview Bookings

Working on the settlement positions

Dialogue 'Details View'

Double-click on a line or click on the status indicator to open a new dialog

Details View

The dialog box is divided into three sections:

  1. Comparision
    Here data from Midoco and the settlement are compared.
    Note: the status is updated for the first two lines, the other lines are for information purposes, no status adjustment is made here.

    1. Checkbox „Ignore Booking"
      This checkbox prevents the posting of this item.
      This function can be used to prevent a transaction that has not yet been clarified from being posted, especially when using the " Book" button in the tab "Electr. Supplier Settlement" (the entire settlement is posted).
      By activating this checkbox, the difference in the "Total difference" area is recalculated. This means that an ignored data set is also ignored in the difference calculation.
      Note: the settlement is therefore not complete, a (later) posting is recommended.
    2. Checkbox „manual checked"
      This checkbox sets the status in the result table.
      Note: If there is a difference, it will be ignored.
    3. Checkbox „Manual Booking"
      This checkbox activates a section " Manual Booking" in the popup.

      Section Manual Booking

      The question below appears if the record has already been "checked" (either as part of the entire stack or separately using the "check" button in the "Bookings" tab) and a suitable service has been found
      Note: You can only either post on the item or enter a manual posting. Both of these together is not permitted.

      Here you have the option to allocate individual postings within the reconciliation as in "manual booking" and to post them within the batch processing. 

      This is useful, if the settlement file of a supplier contains non-order-related data, i.e. data that cannot be (directly) assigned to a service.

      The account assignment is carried out as usual. You can navigate through the fields by pressing the tab key. Standing in the last field and pressing TAB moves the posting record to the table.


      Table manual booking


      The button "Save" stores the entries, the following question appears:




      Confirm mith "Yes" or use "Cancel":
      Unsaved bookings are discarded when leaving the popup!    Bookings already entered and saved cannot be deleted. If an adjustment is necessary, a reverse posting record must be entered to cancel the posting


      saved booking record

      Further postings can be entered until the batch (and thus the manually entered postings) has been posted.

      Note: The checkbox "ignore" also works in this case, as described in point 1a). This means that the entered postings are not posted as long as the checkbox "ignore" is activated.

    4. Button „Detach"
      This button disconnects the found service from this record.

Error Handling

Error Handling in Supplier Settlement

  1. „Supplier settlement MIDOCO […] was already imported. "


    This error indicates that a file of exactly the same type has already been loaded.
    Here you should check whether this is the case (compare the files already loaded with the (supposedly) new file).
  2. "No org. unit found for agency no. XXXX"

    This error message means that the agency numbers included in the settlement file are not entered in the order master data of supplier.
    For information on how agency numbers are defined, see Additional Information - Definition of Agency Numbers.
     

Additional Information

Some suppliers include agency numbers in their settlement files.

These must be entered in the order master data of the supplier so that the settlement file can be uploaded and validated correctly:
