Scenario
We have tried various combinations of employees and vendors within both UK and foreign legal entity but have not been able to meet all of the above criteria.
We would be grateful for any suggestions as to how the above criteria could be met.
Hi Corina,
We are all well here thanks and hope you are too.
Whilst the proposed change is not a direct solution for our issue it could provide a good workaround if we can consolidate all payments in a single legal entity,ie, the UK in our case.
I will support the proposal. Thanks for your input.
Kind regards,
Craig Fraser
Hello Craig,
Hope my message finds you well and healthy. I just wondering if you have had the chance to review the mentioned Idea - Ability to Post expense liability in currency different than master company currency
to see if is addressing your business case, but based on the latest provided information, the scenario seems to be a little bit different.
Could you please confirm the below understanding?
If this is correct, I don’t think there is a possibility to send the cost from UK to German LE in this situation.
You could also log a service request to Microsoft for a better understanding of this scenario.
Thank you,
Hi Ludwig,
Some additional scenario detail.
The employee's home Legal Entity is German Legal Entity.
The Credit Card Statement is Loaded to UK Legal Entity
Cost should end up in German Legal Entity for both credit card and cash expenses
There is no Intercompany requirement for the German Employee. They only work for their own Legal Entity.
There are cash withdrawals on credit card which will be recorded as personal expenses and should be offset by any cash expenses
Expense reimbursement (assuming Cash Expenses > Cr Card Expenses) will be made in Euros.
Euro Bank Account only resides in German Legal Entity.
Many thanks for your assistance!
Kind regards,
Craig
Hello Craig,
To me this is not absolutely clear. Can you help me better understanding the issue probably based on a simplified example; lets say where the worker is from your German branch and needs to record expenses.
I would like to know
- where the employee enters those expenses (UK or German entity)
- which entity should bear the costs (UK or German entity)
- how you plan to deal with intercompany invoicing for travel expenses that belong to the UK entity
Would be great if you could specify those things based on a simplified example.
Many thanks,
Ludwig
Hi Craig,
As per my understanding, you need a way to post the expense liability for an employee in a different currency - other than the master company currency so they can be paid in their home currency.
If this is the case, as far as I know, this functionality is not yet supported and there is already created a request on Ideas portal - Ability to Post expense liability in currency different than master company currency for this to be taken into account for future releases. Could you please review this idea and check if meets your requirement? To increase the demand, please vote for the suggestion so it is implemented in the future into the product.
Best Regards,
Corina Manescu
Morning Ludwig,
Where are the expenses entered that you describe in step 6?
- The expenses refer to general travel expenses such as flights and hotels.
If this is the UK entity, isn't there a contradiction to step 8?
- We found that if a worker record exists in the UK as well as the home legal entity, the travel expense transactions can be entered in the UK Legal Entity and provided the home legal Entity is selected at point of transaction entry then expense costs are charged to the home legal entity.
Kind regards,
Craig
Good Morning Craig,
Where are the expenses entered that you describe in step 6?
In the UK entity or the entity of the employee?
If this is the UK entity, isn't there a contradiction to step 8?
Best regards,
Ludwig
