316881 - New System Parameter - Allow multiple final approvers on Purchases

A new system parameter has been added to extend the final approver functionality and allow multiple final approvers. In a previous version of Moveware the ability to have a final approver on a purchase was implemented. This meant that a purchase was not approved until the allocated final approver approved the purchase. The original design only allowed for one final approver. This parameter now allows for multiple final approvers.

Several Moveware clients have purchases that cover multiple removals across multiple branches. In these instances, the move managers of these removals need to first approve the charges and send these onto their allocated final approver to finish off the approval process. Due to there being multiple branches there are in many cases multiple final approvers required to approve elements of the purchase. Therefore, multiple final approvers need to be allocated to the purchase.

Code: AllowMultipleFinalApprover
Description: Allow multiple final approvers on Purchases
Options: Y- Yes, N - No
Default Value: N

When this parameter set to Y the Final Approver field on the purchase is expanded. Users can append to the final approver list. Final approvers are not able to begin approving the purchase until all the first level approvers have completed the first level approval process. Once each final approver approves the purchase they will be removed from the list of final approvers until the last final approver is left. Once the last final approver approves the purchase, the purchase then become approves. The last final approver will remain on the purchase while a history of all the final approvers is kept on the purchase.

319323 - Internal Billing Sequencing

Ability to have different Internal Invoice Sequencing when doing Intercompany Billing.

Code: UseIntercompanyInvoicing
Description:Use inter company invoicing between customers
Options:Y = Yes, N = No
Default:N

Setup System Parameter
To enable the ability for intercompany invoicing, systems require the below system parameter.

With this parameter set to Y users will get access to the Project and Project Branch fields on the invoice screen. These fields also rely on the setup of the Debtor to display, but without this parameter they will never display.

Debtor/Customer
To the intercompany invoicing, Moveware needs identify which debtors/customers are involved the intercompany invoicing. To do this the debtors/customers need to be setup with Type = Intercompany. The list of types available for debtors/customers will need to setup such that Intercompany is an option in the list (this is done via either system parameters or codes).
Once debtors/customers are setup as Intercompany, then Project and Project Branch fields will display on the invoice when these debtors/customers are used (see below).

The Project fields relate to jobs performed by other branches within Moveware. When invoicing the internal debtor/customer the invoice can reference the job number used by the other branch, and also identify the other branch to which they are charging. These fields can be manually edited and are not validated to valid removal plans and branches in Moveware. This is so external projects or branches to Moveware can be used in this system.

Invoice Numbering
The intercompany invoicing system is designed such that Moveware creates invoices that are not official invoices. They are just used internally to the company running Moveware. Therefore a separate invoice numbering sequence can be setup to keep the numbers separate from actual invoices. The branch prefixes that are setup for the actual invoices will still apply to this invoice numbering also.
To setup the number go to Codes Management and filter the list by Sequence. Add a new code as displayed below.

There are few fields to take note of:
Current Value: this hold the current number of the last intercompany invoice that was produced. For setup this can be any number.
Format: this determines the format when the invoice is created. In the above the Current Value is 0 and the Format is 9999999. When the first invoice is created the number used is ‘0000001’. Without the Format the number would just be ‘1’.
Prefix: this is an extra prefix to add to the invoice number to extend the existing branch prefix. It is designed to help separate the intercompany invoicing from the actual invoicing. Systems could use ‘-‘ or ‘-IC-‘ to create invoice numbers ‘SYD-IC-0000001’.
Prefix: this is an extra prefix to add to the invoice number to extend the existing branch prefix. It is designed to help separate the intercompany invoicing from the actual invoicing. Systems could use '=' or '-IC-' to create invoice numbers 'SYD-IC-0000001'.
Branches: during setup only specific branches can be given access to the intercompany number by having the branch(es) listed in the Branches field. This is a way of controlling the rollout of this feature.
Another feature that has been added to help with setup, is for systems to be able to exclude specific debtors/customer from this feature. The debtors/customers may be setup in Moveware as Type = Intercompany, but for whatever reason they do not need this number feature. To exclude these debtors/customers place their debtor/customer code into a comma separated list in the field highlighted below.

Once a selection has been made and the user filters the list such that the selected cost option(s) are not visible, the cost option(s) remain selected in the background. Then once the user filters the list to then make these cost option(s) visible again, they will still be flagged as selected.
