    • The invoice MUST have Payment / Settlement (RCT)

    • Filling is bi-monthly ( 2 months periods )
    • SUM of RCT > SST, this is for partial Settlement done for 1 invoice. 
 Filing Scenario

  • INVOICE and RECEIPT

Documents

Scenario

Test Case 

Expected Result

Remarks

INV + RCT 

Full Payment

INV = RM 106 (SST = RM 6)


RCT =  RM 106

The INV will be filed, follow the Settlement date. 


INV + RCT 

Partial Payment

INV = RM 106 (SST = RM 6)


RCT =  RM 50

The INV will be filed, follow the settlement date. Because the RCT amount is more than the SST amount.


INV + RCT

Partial Payment

INV - RM 1060 (SST = RM 60)


RCT = RM 50



The INV will NOT be filed. Because the RCT amount is lesser than the SST amount.



*Reason for following this method is because, in RCT, there is no Item Code. If the INV has many items, some with SST and some without SST, the RCT cannot identify that the payment is for which item code (with or without SST).

INV + Multiple RCTs

Partial Payment

INV - RM 1060 (SST = RM 60)


RCT 1 = RM 50

RCT 2 = RM 20

(Sum of RCT amount = RM70)

The INV will be filed, following the 2nd RCT settlement date. Because Sum of the RCT amount is more than the SST amount.



  • INVOICE and Manual CM → Customer Credit Note only

Remarks

INV + Manual CM

Full Settlement

INV = RM 106 (SST = RM 6)


Manual CM =  RM 106

The INV will be filed, follow the Settlement date. 


INV + Manual CM

Partial Settlement

INV = RM 106 (SST = RM 6)


Manual CM =  RM 50

The INV will be filed, follow the settlement date. Because the Manual CM amount is more than the SST amount.


INV + Manual CM

Partial Settlement

INV - RM 1060 (SST = RM 60)


Manual CM = RM 50

The INV will NOT be filed. Because the Manual CM  amount is lesser than the SST amount.


INV + Multiple Manual CMs

Partial Settlement

INV - RM 1060 (SST = RM 60)


Manual CM 1 = RM 50

Manual CM  2 = RM 20

(Sum of Manual CM amount = RM70)

The INV will be filed, following the 2nd Manual CM’s settlement date. Because the Sum of the Manual CM amount is more than the SST amount.


  • INVOICE and Auto-created CM (SR)

>>> The SR created from INV, should have the same tax code. It is impossible for the tax code to be different for the linked INV and SR. If in 1 Invoice document, there are many items, some have SST and some does not have SST, based on the item codes user selected from Sales Return, the system will capture the tax code. Therefore, it is impossible for the tax codes to be different for the linked INV and SR.

Documents

Scenario

Test Case

Result

Remarks

INV 1 + RCT 1

INV 1 & SR 1 (CM 1)

CM 1 + INV 2

Future Contra 

INV 1 settled with RCT 1

Later, INV 1 has SR 1 (CM 1).

The CM 1 is settled with INV 2. 


Note: The SR 1 is done for Item without SST.
Therefore, for this test case, the INV 1 also does not have SRS 6. 

If INV 1 has tax code SRS 6, then INV 1 will be filed. 






If INV 2 has no SRS6, then INV 2 will NOT be filed. 

For INV 1, the RCT settled will be considered as the settlement document for INV 1. 



If the SR 1 has no tax code (which means user return Items without SST), then the future contra with INV 2, with no SRS6, the system will NOT file INV 2. 

INV 1 + RCT 1

INV 1 & SR 1 (CM 1)

CM 1 + INV 2

Future Contra 

INV 1 settled with RCT 1

Later, INV 1 has SR 1 (CM 1).

The CM 1 is settled with INV 2. 


Note: The SR 1 is done for Item without SST.
In case, the INV 2 has tax code, and settled with CM 1 (SR 1) which has NO SRS6. 

If INV 1 has tax code SRS 6, then INV 1 will be filed. 






If INV 2 has SRS6, then INV 2 will be filed. 

For INV 1, the RCT settled will be considered as the settlement document for INV 1. 



If the SR 1 has no tax code (which means user return Items without SST), then need to double confirm with User if the transaction is correct, whereby INV 2 has SRS6 but CM 1 (SR 1) does not have SRS6.
