Basic set up need to process cross site payments
Syteline multi-site supports centralized AR payment process. Here are the basic set-up steps
1. Site Groups
Create a site group that contains all sites that will be sharing cross-site A/R Payments
NOTE: All sites within the group must have the same domestic currency
2. Replication Rules
Set up Replication Rule for category A/R for each site within the Site Group
Interval Type = Transactional
3. Inter-Site Parameters
Add record for all From Site/To Site combinations
Populate Inter-Site Accounts on Payment Tab
4. Accounts Receivable Parameters
Populate the Site Group field
Once the Basic Set-Up has been performed, you should be able to see invoices from all sites within the Site Group in the A/R Quick Payment Application grid. However, Open Credits from remote sites will not appear in the A/R Quick Payment grid. Those credits should be applied to invoices in remote site prior to entering payment in Payment site.
Example of journal entries for cross-site payment posting:
Three sites exist for Entity XYZ. Site A is designated as the centralized collection site where all customer payments are collected. If Site A receives a $300 payment from a customer to pay 3 invoices, each from a different site, the following journal entries must occur.
- Invoice customer – $100 from each entity.
Site A transactions: | Debit | Credit |
A/R | $100 | |
Sales | $100 |
Site B transactions: | Debit | Credit |
A/R | $100 | |
Sales | $100 |
Site C transactions: | Debit | Credit |
A/R | $100 | |
Sales | $100 |
- Post payment of $300 – distribute $100 to each entity.
Site A transactions: | Debit | Credit |
Cash | $300 | |
A/R | $100 | |
Inter-Site Liab (Entity B) | $100 | |
InterEntity Liab (Entity C) | $100 |
Site B transactions: | Debit | Credit |
InterEntity Asset | $100 | |
A/R | $100 |
Site C transactions: | Debit | Credit |
InterEntity Asset | $100 | |
A/R | $100 |
NOTE: To reverse the inter-site transactions; each site will create a manual entry when corporate pays cash to the sites.
