Controlling Center

The Controlling Center consists of various parts. The heart of the Controlling Center is purchase invoice management. With purchase invoice management, all incoming invoices are processed and assigned to the various areas (project costs, sub-hires, workshop activities, purchase orders, etc.).

The costs can be easily analyzed in the applicable program module. This matching process also enables data to be automatically posted to the appropriate accounts. Data can be electronically submitted to your accounting professional as well.

Each purchase invoice can assigned using the scanner. When assigning purchase invoices to projects, an authorization workflow is started so that the project leaders can confirm or reject the cost assignment.

A cash book is also integrated that links cash transactions with invoices and purchase invoices.

To make automatic account assignment possible when exporting data to the accounting department, the individual expense accounts can be pre-defined for the various easyjob program modules and areas. The predefined expense account is used automatically when assigning a purchase invoice.

Use is basically identical for the income accounts. As expense account assignment is generally done in more detail, various expense accounts can be selected in the various program modules and areas.

A purchase invoice is used as the basis for many areas in the Controlling Center. You must register the content of every invoice you receive as a purchase invoice in easyjob. By assigning the purchase invoice to the individual easyjob modules and areas, cost control, project post calculation as well as purchase invoice export to the accounting department can be carried out.

The payment instructions are calculated based on the payment terms. It is also possible to attach the original purchase invoice to the documentation using the document scanner. An advantage of entering the original purchase invoice is that by simply pressing a button, you can access the purchase invoice as well as the ergonomic assignment of the purchase invoice line item.

In order to quickly and easily enter the purchase invoices, we recommend creating as few individual line items as possible. With the Business Information Center, easyjob provides a detailed evaluation of all possible combinations so that you can limit yourself to what is necessary when creating purchase invoices.

Purchase Invoice Line Item Distribution

The detail with which you want to enter the purchase invoice line items depends on the requirements of the individual reports. In principle, you can also create a purchase invoice line item, for example, for a rental invoice with multiple items. If a supplier has summarized multiple services in one line item , you can divide this into different services using sub-line items.

In the purchase invoice line item you can enter the quantity, line item type, name, amount, tax rate and the revenue account. If you enter the purchase invoice line item via a document, you can keep the name open, as you can view the original text in the display window at any time. You can change the order of the line items using the arrow keys . The tax is automatically pre-selected based on the data in the document header (from the supplier's master data.

Based on the selected account, the expenses will be assigned to an account when exported to the accounting department. If you want to assign services to the respective line items, do not select the account and line item type field.

Data export is based on the account information from the service assignment. Then you can also leave the amount field open. The field will be calculated automatically based on the assignment.

1.4.2.2

Service assignment (automatic)

Based on the service assignment (connecting activities in easyjob with the purchase invoice), expenses are displayed and calculated in the corresponding easyjob program module. For a quick assignment, easyjob Fuzzy Logic makes suggestions based on the current purchase invoice and the available information (supplier). Enter the invoice amount in the Paper Total field. The Fuzzy Logic lists all activities that are connected to the supplier and that could apply for the purchase invoice. Various filters such as the Process (sub-rental, sub-rental item, job costs, etc.), the Date (preselected from a period minus two months) and a keyword filter (you can use the wildcards * and ?. * replaces the rest of a word and ? replaces a letter with a variable text) help provide a better overview.

By right clicking the symbol, you can open the sub-menu and decide how to distribute the difference (proportionately to the quantity or proportionately to the costs). With Apply total, you can apply the planned total.

Alternatively, the assignments suggested by the Fuzzy Logic can be dragged and dropped to the empty field in the Purchase Invoice Line Item window. easyjob creates a separate entry for each assignment.

1.7.1.1

Enhancement of the basis of computation

In statistics, many income side amounts are calculated. Without the Controlling Center, the Business Information Center only takes the scheduled costs into account.

By activating the Controlling Center, the scheduled and real costs are considered together. For costs with a service assignment from the purchase invoice, the real costs are considered, for unassigned costs the scheduled costs are considered.

If, for example, a job consists of two job cost entries, for the first the service assignment is entered via the purchase invoice and for the second there is not yet an assignment, therefore the real costs are considered for the first entry and the scheduled costs are considered for the second entry.

Data export to the accounting department

With data export, all finalized purchase invoices are transferred to the accounting department. It is implemented in the same manner as when exporting invoice data.

In addition to invoices and processed payment receipts, also finalized purchase invoices can be selected for the data export. The cost accounts will be used from the purchase invoice line item or the service assignment depending on if the purchase invoice was processed on a line item level or with a service assignment.

The sub-rental costs were higher than the scheduled expenses . Staff costs were 300.00 Euro lower (strike went faster than scheduled). The expenses for vehicles and job costs corresponded to the planning . In total, the costs were 250.00 Euro lower than scheduled. The actual Result increased accordingly.
