3 CUSTOMER MASTERFILE FORM CODE UDF: Enter the uppercase UDF set up as the Form Code UDF in AR CUSTOMER MASTERFILE SET FEE UDF: Enter the numeric UDF Setup as Set Fee UDF in AR INVOICE HEADER INTERIM BILL? UDF: Enter the Yes/No AR-1074 UDF Setup to indicate if you want to use the Interim Bill. INVOICE HEADER NO OF BILLING PRDS UDF: Enter the AR-1074 Numeric UDF Setup for the number of Billing Periods. (This UDF should be masked as #0 when set up in AR-1074). INVOICE LINE AVERAGE MARKET VALUE UDF: Enter the AR-1108 Numeric UDF Setup to hold the Average Market Value for the line. You should visit this Setup screen after each upgrade or reinstallation of this Extended Solution. Operation Customer Masterfile New fields for Bill Method and Form Code have been added to the Customer Masterfile. One of three bill methods can be selected, each of which will perform a unique calculation in A/R Invoice Data Entry. The UDFs set up in Extended Solution AR-1080: User Defined Fields for Customer Masterfile and entered in the Setup for this Extended Solution provide these fields. A UDF will be used to store the form code used to print invoices from A/R Invoice Data Entry, overriding the printing program s default form code. Three bill methods are available: Flat Rate, Tiered Rate and Set Fee. If the UDF has F, T, or S as the first character, a new screen will be available when you are in the customer masterfile that allows you to enter and maintain a table of up to six tiers consisting of ranges of dollars and their corresponding rates (Figure 2). This table is read according to the Bill Method during A/R Invoicing. You can access this table at any time by pressing the More button (Figure 3). The dollar range masks are #,###,###,###.00, and the rate is masked to 0.###### Sage Software, Inc. All rights reserved. AR-1150 (Revised 08/05) Page 3

4 Figure 2 Figure 3 A/R Invoice Data Entry When entering a new invoice in A/R Invoice Data Entry, you can use a new Asset Management Portfolio Maintenance option to create A/R Sales Code Lines on the invoice. You can enter multiple portfolios for each invoice. As each portfolio code is entered, the accompanying portfolio codes on the invoice will be recalculated as specified below. When 2005 Sage Software, Inc. All rights reserved. AR-1150 (Revised 08/05) Page 4

5 you exit the window, the program adds the appropriate A/R Sale Code Lines to the invoice. After all portfolio codes have been entered, you can enter any standard invoice lines as required. In A/R Invoice line entry (Figure 4), press the Special Options button to pop up a window prompting for the following to enter portfolios for an existing invoice (Figure 5): 1. Portfolio Code (a list into on-file Sales Codes) 2. Portfolio Description (defaults from Sales Code selected, override allowed) 3. Number of Days in Year 4. Date Range 5. Market Value by period* and date valued 6. Beginning of period market value and date valued. Figure Sage Software, Inc. All rights reserved. AR-1150 (Revised 08/05) Page 5

6 Figure 5 *The window will allow entry of a numeric value masked as #,###,###,###.00 into a maximum of 13 period fields, while the actual number you can enter depends on the Number of Periods Being Billed For, which was entered in a header UDF. *You will not be able to access the Management Portfolio maintenance window if the Number of Periods Being Billed For is zero. The Number of Periods Being Billed For is a value that is not unique to the portfolio. This field is maintained as a header UDF along with the Interim (Y/N) flag. After you exit Portfolio Maintenance, all Portfolio Codes on the invoice will be recalculated. The Portfolio Code description becomes the Sales Code Description. One AR-1062 Subtotal will be placed on the invoice following the last Sales Code line when you accept a new invoice. Bill Methods There will be a maximum of three billing methods you can use from A/R Invoice Data Entry: Flat Rate, Tiered Rate, Set Fee and the Interim Bill. The Interim Bill functions as a billing method in that it has a unique way of determining the bill amount. You can indicate to use it during Invoice Data Entry by checking the Interim Bill UDF check box. The Bill Method can vary by customer, but does not vary by portfolio. The calculations for the Bill Methods, other than the Set Fee and to some degree the Interim, are identical with the variation being the values you are inputting Sage Software, Inc. All rights reserved. AR-1150 (Revised 08/05) Page 6

7 The bill methods and the method in which they calculate the bill amount are as follows: I. FLAT RATE The Market Value for all periods will be added together for a Total Market Value. An average will be taken by dividing the Market Value by the number of periods in which a Market Value was entered. The Beginning of Period Market Value will be considered a period for the purpose of calculating the Average Market Value. These two steps will be performed for each portfolio. The Average Market Values for all portfolios will be totaled. This Total Average Market Value will be compared to the customer s specific table to determine a single Rate. The rate is then multiplied by the Total Average Market Value to arrive at an Annual Rate. The Annual Rate is then divided by 12 and then multiplied by the Number of Periods Being Billed For to arrive at the total invoice charge amount. This Total Charge is prorated back to each Sales Code (portfolio) based on the portfolio s Average Market Value compared to the Total Average Market Value. Another way of explaining this formula: Total Charge [(Rate * Total Average Market Value)/12] * Number of Periods Being Billed Rate for each Sales Code (Average Market Value/Total Average Market Value) * Total Charge II. TIERED RATE This method is similar to the Set Rate bill method; however, a rate schedule applies. The Rate is calculated on the amount corresponding to the tier limit. Multiple rates can then be used to determine the bill amount. For example if the tiers were set up as: 1 million 2 million at million 3 million at.525 And the Total Average Market Value is 2.5 million, the program would calculate the first 2 million at one rate and the second.5 million at the next rate. The bill amount then is the sum of the fee calculated for each tier used. The formula might need to add the results of more than one equation to arrive at the line extension. The Total Charge becomes the sum the following calculations performed on each applicable tier of the rate table. Total Charge = [(Rate * Total Average Market Value)/12] * Number of Periods Being Billed Rate for each Sales Code = (Average Market Value/Total Average Market Value) * Total Charge The rates used, the upper limits of these rate tiers, and the resulting fee for each rate can be printed on the invoice form Sage Software, Inc. All rights reserved. AR-1150 (Revised 08/05) Page 7

8 III. SET FEE This bill method uses a predetermined yearly fee. One AR-1080 User Defined Field holds the client s Set Yearly Fee. The Market Value will be determined by summing the periods entered. The Set Yearly Fee will be divided by 12 and multiplied by the number of periods being assessed. The extension for the sales code becomes: [Yearly Fee/12] * Number of periods. The rate used can be printed on the invoice form. IV. INTERIM BILLS A method for producing Interim Bills has been provided. Customers will not have a bill method of Interim Bill as their default bill method. From A/R Invoice Header UDF Maintenance, check the Interim Bill check box to produce an Interim Bill. If you respond with a Yes, the system will prompt for the Number of Days in the Year. Users can enter any number up to 999. They can also then enter a date range (mm/dd/yy to mm/dd/yy). They then can enter values in the period fields. The Market Value for all periods will be added for a Total Market Value. An average is then taken by dividing the Market Value by the number of periods in which a Market Value was entered. The Average Market Values for all portfolios entered will be totaled. This Total Average Market Value will be compared to the customer s specific table to determine the Rate(s). Whether the rate table is read as a Flat Rate or as a Tiered Rate depends on the customer s Billing Method. The rate is then multiplied by the Total Average Market Value to arrive at an Annual Rate. The Annual Rate is then multiplied by the number of days from the start date to the ending date, and then divided by the number of days in the year (entered value) to determine the Total Charge. This Total Charge is prorated back to each Sales Code (portfolio) based on the portfolio s Average Market Value as compared to the Total Average Market Value. Multiple portfolios can be entered for this bill method and for the other bill methods. All portfolios entered for the invoice are calculated using the interim bill method. In other words, it will not be possible to perform an interim bill on one portfolio and a Set Rate bill on another portfolio on the same invoice. Notes about Tiered Rate vs. Flat Rate Method of Reading Customer Rate Table: TIERED RATE: As the rate table is referred to, multiple rates can actually be used, corresponding to the tier limit. For example if the tiers were set up as: 1 million 2 million at million 3 million at.525 And the Total Average Market Value is 2.5 million, the program would calculate the first 2 million at one rate and the second.5 million at the next rate. The bill amount then is the sum of the fee calculated for each tier used. The formula used then might actually need to add the results of more than one equation to arrive at the line extension. FLAT RATE: As the rate table is referred to, one single tier corresponding to the Total Average Market Value will be read. This method can be compared to the way in which standard MAS 90 MAS 200 reads the item pricing tables with the quantity 2005 Sage Software, Inc. All rights reserved. AR-1150 (Revised 08/05) Page 8

9 ordered on a Sales Order. For example, the tier read corresponds with the total amount. Invoice Printing During A/R Invoice Printing, the form code corresponding to the customer s A/R Customer Masterfile UDF will be used. If the user has indicated during data entry that the invoice is an Interim Bill, then the form code for Interim Bill will be used, regardless of the bill method referenced in the customer masterfile. On a form-by-form basis, you can maintain a block of free form text where you can insert various data elements into the text using codes (see the Forms section below). The following data elements can be inserted in the text: Number of Periods, Market Value (for 13 periods), Market Date (for 13 periods), Beginning Date, Ending Date, Beginning Period Value, Beginning Period Date, Total Market Value and Average Market Value. See Figure 6 for an example. ***** INVOICE ***** PAGE: 1 Battersea Power Systems LTD Godalming House Battersea, NW5 (206) INVOICE NUMBER: IN INVOICE DATE: 09/26/95 SALESPERSON: 0000 SALES TAX CODE: WA Trust House Forte LTD CUSTOMER NO: Wembley Park House CUSTOMER P.O.: LN SHIP VIA: CONTACT: Sir George Forrester TERMS: NO TERMS SALES CD DESCRIPTION QUANTITY PRICE AMOUNT INVEST A Portfolio Sales Code EACH There are 13 Periods on this portfolio For period 1 the market value was on 01/01/94.

10 Figure 7 Sales Journal Update During the Sales Journal Update, the Average Market Value for each Sales Code line will be written to one Invoice Line User Defined Field (AR-1108). No other data from Portfolio Maintenance is preserved. Repetitive Invoice Entry is not affected. The above changes affect Invoice Data Entry only. None of the data entered into Portfolio Maintenance or calculated by the program is saved after the Sales Journal update, with the exception of each line s Total Market Value, preserved in a line user-defined field. The Portfolio History Report A new report running from the A/R Open Invoice file and the Invoice History file will be added to the A/R Reports menu. The report will categorize an invoice into different types of portfolios based on the Sales Code; e.g., a Sales Code equals a portfolio/investment type. The report will sort by the Sales Code and within Sales Code by Customer Name. The report can be selected by a range of customer numbers, Sales Codes and Invoice Numbers (Figure 7). The report will generate a page break when the Sales Code changes. The report will print one line per Customer/Invoice/Sales Code included within the selection range. The user will enter a Payment Cutoff Date, and the system will select and total all invoice payment transactions made on and before this date. The user will also enter an Invoice Date, and only those invoices having this date will be selected Sage Software, Inc. All rights reserved. AR-1150 (Revised 08/05) Page 10
