Set Application Received

Explanation

This activity is used to receive an application. When an application is received from a supplier, the amounts need to be registered on the valuation, and recognized so that the costs and expenses can be kept track of. By receiving the application, a voucher that helps to identify future costs, is created. It is possible to recognize a partial value of the total applied amount on an application. In some cases the supplier may have intentionally over applied and the total amount is not really expected to be paid. Based on the percentage (%) to recognize, as defined on the valuation (received from the sub contract), only the allowed percentage (%) of the applied amount will be recognized. The following example details this further:

For simplicity, let us consider a single sub contract line. The total application amount of items on application A1 is £1100, but less Discount 5% (£55), Retention 5% (£52.25) and Deductions 2% (£19.86). The application is raised for £972.89 plus VAT. If the percentage to be recognized is 90% of£972.89 (£875.60) excluding VAT, this means that only £875.60 will be posted.

Prerequisites

• The valuation must be in the Planned status.
• The Application No field must have a value, i.e., an application must be connected to the valuation.
• The Receive Application check box must have been selected.

System Effects

• The status of the valuation changes to Application Received, and vouchers are created automatically.
• The Application Received Date field on the valuation is defaulted as the Voucher Date.
• Postings are created for the submitted application amounts using the Voucher Date, User Group, and Voucher Type as defined in the Receive Application dialog box.
• The applied values are recognized as application amount using the % to Recognize as defined on the valuation.
