Intercorporate - A business associate that is part of the primary business associate's corporation (a division, child company, or parent company) but is not doing business in SolArc RightAngle. Intradivisional - A business associate that is part of the primary business associate's corporation (a division, child company, or parent company), and is also doing business in SolArc RightAngle.
EXTERNAL BA In RightAngle, any company that is not a child of the parent company is an external business associate. External business associates are defined with a BA Type of External or Affiliate on the Business Associate Maintenance window. All SolArc RightAngle functions are available for external BAs. There are no hard-coded differences between Affiliate BAs and External BAs, so SolArc RightAngle does not treat them differently. However, each SolArc RightAngle installation may elect to perform some actions differently for affiliates. For example, transactions with an affiliate BA (e.g., joint venture) may be account-coded differently than other BAs. (Openlink, 2004)
Whenever a new external or internal BA is created in RightAngle, the relationship it has with existing internal and external BAs has to be defined. The configuration needed to establish the relationship between the entities include deals, commodities, modes of transportation, and banking information that will be used by the new entity. The types of reports, contracts, and invoices that will be needed must also be taken into consideration before the configuration can be completed. These tasks will have to be performed for each Business Associate with whom the new entity will transact with.
MAIN TAB
1. Select New in Business Associate Maintenance Maintenance/Main. 2. Enter the name of the new BA. The abbreviation will fill in automatically. The abbreviation name will be seen on most reports and should be easily recognizable.
1. Set the Class of Trade to other. 2. Use the drop-down to select the parent company. 3. Select the business type, i.e. Interdivisional, External, Intercorporate, and Affilliate.
ATTRIBUTES
Then click on attributes, and you can see the GSAP_Vendor number is 66174. This is the link between the BA and the Bank account.
This means that all of the bank accounts will appear in the bank account drop down box in the fico interface report. If you go back to the fico interface report and look for a payable invoice with counter party BP oil intl ltd - you can see all the available bank accounts for this counterparty.
Going back to the SAP Maintenance Screen, look on the attributes tab Currently there are no attributes to select for bank accounts. This is where we would like an Attribute LOC Account with a Yes / No option.
A new rule using this new attribute would work like this to control and restrict posting to LOC counterparties: IF Transaction type = zAsia - Purchase Sing AND Purchase L/C = 'I' THEN o IF selected bank accounts LOC attribute = N or Null 9
Then Display message and block transaction This is an LOC counterparty. The bank account selected is not an LOC account. Please select an LOC account or request an LOC account to be setup via support. Else Allow posting Else Allow posting
SETTING UP OFFICES
10
Note: Be sure to set the status to Active for the office. Also Note: The abbreviation in this case has been changed to the SAP Vendor number for the External BA. It is used by the FICO interface to match the vendor in SAP.
11
The SAP Vendors Bank Information will be stored in the Remit-To Address of the Office. The Electronic box should be checked.
12
The Bank Name will be stored in the first line (Bank). If the Vendor has a SWIFT code the SWIFT code will be stored in the second line (ABA Number). Otherwise, the Routing Number (SAP Bank Key) will be stored in this line. The last 4 characters of the account, preceded by 3 dots, will be stored in the third line (Account Number). See example below.
How the data is displayed when the user clicks the Remit-To dropdown in the Payable Invoice screen.
Notes: RA automatically creates a Location of type Office when a new Office is created. A location must have a unique (1) Location Abbreviation + Abbreviation Extension + Location Type and (2) Location Name + Name Extension. 13
The office Building Name and Abbreviation are stored in the Location Name and Abbreviation, respectively. Including the SAP Vendor in the Office Building Name and storing it in the Abbreviation will meet the unique data requirements. STEPS TO ADD/UPDATE VENDOR BANK INFORMATION. 1. Check if an Office exists for the External BA, using the SAP Vendor Nbr and comparing it the Office Locations abbreviation. Create it if not found. 2. Set the Office Location Name to the SAP Bank Name plus the SAP Vendor Number in parenthesis. Location Name allows 50 characters. Store as many characters of the Bank Name as possible, making sure the SAP Vendor Name is stored completely at the end of the Location Name string. Set the Office status to Active. 3. Create a Remit-To Address if the Office does not have one. The Electronic checkbox must be checked. 4. Update the Address: store the SAP Bank Name (AddrssBankName), SAP Routing/SWIFT number (AddrssLne1) and the last 4 characters of the SAP Bank Account, prefixed with 3 periods (AddrssLne2). 5. Store a blank string in the Address Country (AddrssCntry) if possible; otherwise, store the value United States. Also, add the following step in the Vendor update process: If a Vendor is marked as deleted, set the status of the related Office to Inactive. SAP BANK DATA Table LFBK has the list of banks associated with the SAP Vendor.
