A/C Payable

Supplier Analysis Codes1–3

The A.P. Analysis nodes do not display on the CodeMaint menu unless they have been labelled in INI Maint> System. In a system that has not had the Supplier Analysis labels set up, the only node displayed below AC/Payable will be Payment Type.

 

In this example system, Supplier Analysis 1 has been labelled Supplier Chain, Supplier Analysis 2 has been labelled Star Rating and Supplier Analysis 3 has been labelled Electronic Pay Flag.

 

Using these codes in Suppliers (Creditors) enables reporting to be selectively based on the analysis codes. The analysis codes can be used in a wide variety of standard Bookings Reports as well as in the Excel based iSFinancial Analysis Reports.

Some examples of use include:

  1. Supplier Analysis 1
  1. Country (Mainly outbound wholesalers)
  2. Admin or Trade Supplier
  3. Supplier Type–Hotel, Motel etc.
  4. Supplier Chain–Intercontinental, MitchellCorp etc. (The most common use)
  5. Supplier Grouping (Service Type)–Ground Handler; Accommodation, Guide, Restaurant etc.
  6. Location City–Auckland, Sydney, London etc.
  1. Supplier Analysis 2
  1. Rating–4*, 3* etc.
  2. Location City–(as 4 f.)
  3. Supplier Group–(as 4 e.)
  4. Payment Type–EFT; Bill Back; Pre Payment
  5. Country (as 4.a.)
  6. Supplier Chain–(as 4 d.)
  1. Supplier Analysis 3

  2. Preference Indicator
  3. Creditor Type (Trade, Admin, Marketing, Airline etc.)

Payment Type

When Supplier/Creditor payments (cash transactions) are entered into Tourplan, a Payment Type is applied to the transaction. The payment type has two uses. It is used to identify the type of payment—e.g., Trust Account, Trading Account, etc. and it can also have a General Ledger account attached which can re direct the credit side of the transaction (which is normally the Bank Account) to the account attached to the Payment Type.

Details on processing these transactions are in the Accounts Training Guide–1.

On initial entry to the Payment Type node, any existing records will display.
