I've read the Implementation guide & there are a few things we need to do first
Business users / Project team
These security types are pre-configured for VAT. We don't need to do anything unless there are exceptions
Pre-configured for VAT FI-00, 02, 12, 20, 21, 24OS-00, 03FU-01
But we do need to configure the portfolios that we want HiPort to calc VAT
Also now that HiPort can do the VAT calcs, we will need to update our GL posting rules & cost sheets
I'll send you the details
I've configured the portfolios & security exceptions.The new reference DROs show that HiPort has the correct setup. I've updated the cost sheet,...I think we're ready for UAT
The reports produce the expected outcomes.The GL journals are correct...
Wow SS&C have outdone themselves! The is so much faster than our manual process
Mr Change Manager - the SOP's will need to be updated
We will set up an automatic job to run the VAT calcs. But should document how users can run the process manually
How will the users know the calculation outcomes?
There's also 2 reports that can be run on-demand. We should include how to run those in the SOP
There is a comprehensive ASCII report that's produced.
Our transaction processing team will need their procedure updated - They need to inform the VAT team when they back date transactions
The VAT team will need to run the VAT unwind process when this happens
Does VAT need to be updated again?
Once SS&C deliver phase 2 of the project, we will need to change this part of the SOP - the unwind will be automated. So the transaction team don't need to worry
No the process will pick up from the unwind date
We also need to introduce a new process for rec breaks between the custodian's and HiPort's values
The SOP would have to detail how to use the VAT Adjustments function
Looks like we're ready to train the users & put this into Production
