Assignment 4 – Exercise 09 Read Me First: Use the Big Data

Assignment 4 – Exercise 09

Read Me First:

Use the Big Data Analytics Consulting Case databases to complete this Assignment.

Ensure that you have fully completed the exercises 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 before starting with this assignment.

Ensure that your current fiscal year is 2020 (GL Setup \ Options \Posting Tab).

If you have completed the Assignment 2 correctly, then your TD Bank Chequing Account and the Accounts Payable balances in the General Ledger module as of Jan 31, 2020 will be as follows:

1000 – TD Bank Chequing $ 14,185 (Debit)

2000 – Accounts Payable $ 2,500 (Credit)

In the event if your balances are incorrect, just ignore your own balances for the purpose of completing this assignment, and assume that your TD Bank Chequing Account balance as 14,185 (debit) and your Accounts Payable Account balance as 2,500 (Credit). No marks will be deducted for this.

Since some of you may not have the correct balances in G/L, importance will not be given to the General Ledger module in completing this assignment, and therefore, you are not expected to process (post, delete, etc.) your batches in the General Ledger module.

If the information is not provided to complete a particular setup, just accept the default settings for the setup. But, based on your judgment, you are permitted to make necessary changes to the settings, if such changes are required to complete the assignment questions.

Case Information

Big Data Analytics Consulting Company (BDA) had been using the Sage 300 General Ledger module for the past one month, and since BDA is satisfied with the use of the General Ledger module, they have decided to use the Sage 300 Accounts Payable, Bank Services and the Tax Services modules starting from January 31, 2020.

At this point in time, BDA has only a Chequing Account with TD Bank, and the TD bank account will be used for all of the BDA banking transactions. The TD Bank Chequing Account details are as follows:

Bank Transit Number – 12342004

Chequing Account Number – 0123454321

Prior to January 31, 2020, BDA had been directly using the GL Account 1000 to record any transactions involving the TD Bank. Going forward, BDA will be primarily using a sub-ledger Bank Account to record its TD banking transactions. The bank sub-ledger account will be using the G/L account 1000 as its control account.

Since the same TD account will be used for both the Implementation and the support service transactions (refer to Exercise 1 for details about the two services), any bank related expenses incurred such as the Bank Charges, Write-Off or Credit Card charges would be equally divided between the two services. To facilitate this, two new expense allocation accounts would be created in G/L.

The expense allocation account details are as follows:

6070 – Bank Charges

6080 – Bank Errors and Write-Off

Since BDA will not be using the Accounts Receivable module now, 6080 account will also be used for recording the Credit Card Charges. Since the Bank charges account would be commonly used every month while performing the Bank Reconciliation, BDA wanted to setup a distribution code only for the 6070 Bank Charges account.

BDA will using the Sage 300 Check printing functionality when recording payments in the Accounts Payable module. The following details would be used to complete the Check Stock code setup:

Next check number : 451

Stock Type : Combined Check and Advice

Check Form : APCHK11A.RPT

Number of Advice Lines per Page : 15

Since BDA is not expecting to have a high volume of transactions, the length of the document numbers for both the Bank entry and the Bank Transfer transactions would be adjusted to 10 characters.

BDA is currently operating only within the Ontario province in Canada. Hence, BDA has a requirement to process the HST taxes in the Accounts Payable module for its purchase transactions. As BDA will not be using Sage 300 to process the Sales transactions, the HST Sales related setup will not be completed at the beginning. BDA uses the G/L account 2110 to track its HST Liability and the G/L Account 2120 to track its recoverable taxes. The recoverable rate is assumed to be 100%.

BDA has currently classified all of its vendors and the items purchased as either Taxable or Non-Taxable based on the tax status. BDA will be creating the following HST – Purchase – Vendor Tax classes:

Taxable

Non Taxable

Since, BDA might be paying 13% HST on most of the items purchased, and 5% HST on some of the items purchased, BDA will be setting up the following HST – Purchase – Item Tax classes:

Taxable13

Taxable5

Non Taxable

Thus, if the vendor tax status is Taxable, and if the item tax status is Taxable13, then the HST tax rate would be setup as 13%. Similarly, if the vendor tax status is Taxable, and if the item tax status is Taxable5, then the HST tax rate would be setup as 5%.

Case Questions:

Answer the following questions based on the case information provided to you:

Open the Big Data Analytics Consulting company with the session date of January 31, 2020.

Verify the following information:

Current year in the G/L module

TD Chequing Account Balance

Accounts Payable Balance

Ensure that you have read and understood the additional details that are provided to you at the beginning of this document (Read Me First) regarding the current year and the account balances.

Assume that the Control Account 1000 (TD Bank Chequing) balance in G/L is 14,185 (Debit). Assume that that the TD Bank Chequing Account statement balance as of 31 January 2020 is also $ 14,185.

(Note – There are no outstanding transactions as of 31 January 2020.)

Perform a Bank Reconciliation transaction in order to establish $ 14,185 as the opening balance for the TD Bank Chequing Account in Bank Services.

Post the Bank Reconciliation in Bank Services.

Verify the TD Bank Chequing Account balance in Bank Services.

Tax Group – ONTHST

Type – Purchases

Description – Ontario Taxes

Tax Authority – HST

Create a new folder; rename the folder as A4 E9 Q13; dump your BDA system and company databases to the A4 E9 Q13 folder.

Continue with Exercise 10.

Assignment 4 – Exercise 10

If the information is not provided to complete a particular setup, just accept the default settings for the setup. But, based on your judgment, you are permitted to make necessary changes to the settings, if such changes are required to complete the assignment questions.

Case Information

BDA will be completing the Accounts Payable setup and record the outstanding Vendor Invoice transactions as of 31 January 2020.

BDA will be using the TD Bank Chequing Account to record all of the Payment transactions in the Accounts Payable Module. The default method of Payment would be by Check, and BDA will expect a warning to be generated in the event if duplicate check numbers are used in transactions. The Vendor comments will be retained in the system for at least for 365 days. BDA wanted the capability to record adjustments while recording the payment entries. Also, BDA wanted the ability to modify the System Generated Payment batches before posting those batches. The length of the document numbers for entries such as the Recurring Payable, Adjustment, Prepayment and Payment would be adjusted to 10 Characters.

BDA will be grouping all of their vendors into a single group at the beginning. Also, BDA wanted all of the vendor transactions to be posted to the same Payable Control, Vendor Prepayments, and the Purchase Discount accounts when the entries are initially posted from the Accounts Payable module. In order to facilitate this requirement, BDA will create a new allocation account for Purchase Discounts (Account number 5100) in the General Ledger module. The Purchase discount balance would be divided equally between the 5100-100 and 5100-200 accounts. Since both the implementation Services and the Support Services teams would be making their purchases from the same vendors, and the purchasing patterns are fairly uniform for both the services team, BDA doesn’t mind allocating the total purchase discounts equally between the two services teams.

BDA will be making use of the Distribution Codes for the G/L accounts that would be used quite heavily. If the Distribution codes are not available, then the G/L accounts would be directly used in transactions.

During the month of January 2020, BDA was using the G/L allocation accounts for the Rent and the Telephone expense entry postings in G/L. Since the Accounts Payable module provides the Distribution Set functionality, going forward, BDA will be using the Distribution Set functionality to allocate the balances for the Telephone expense and Rent expense accounts. When the telephone bill is received, it will be allocated to each service type at the rate of 40 percent to the implementation services and the remaining 60 percent to the support services. But, the rent expense will be evenly allocated to both the services.

Case Questions:

Answer the following questions based on the case information provided to you:

Assignment 4 – Exercise 12

If the information is not provided to complete a particular setup, just accept the default settings for the setup. But, based on your judgment, you are permitted to make necessary changes to the settings, if such changes are required to complete the assignment questions.

Case Information

BDA will be recording their outstanding Vendor Invoice transactions as of 31 January 2020 as the opening balances for the vendors. As of 31 January 2020, BDA had two outstanding vendor invoice transactions (Invoices received, but not paid) amounting for a total of $ 2,500.00. Since the outstanding invoices are dated for December 2019, and BDA has already filed the HST return for the month of December 2019, the vendor opening balance invoice entries will be recorded by entering the same amount for the invoice total as well as for the amount excluding the taxes. Thus, the HST amounts will not be calculated for the opening balance invoice entries. Another reason for this decision is that, since BDA has already made few partial payments for the two outstanding invoices, BDA only wanted to record the outstanding payable amounts for the invoices to facilitate for the future payments.

BDA is expected to make their monthly rent payment on the 1st day of the month. BDA usually records their rent payment as a prepayment entry during the last week of the previous month. On the 1st day of every month, an invoice will be recorded for the rent expense for the month, and the prepayment entry will be applied to the Rent Invoice. Since the rent payment is recorded as an advance payment, the Rent Invoice entry will be recorded with Net 0 days as the payment term. To facilitate this requirement, a new Payment code Net 0 days will be added to the system, and this payment code will be made as the default payment term code for Land Mark Industrial Estate.

BDA failed to record the February 2020 rent prepayment entry in January. Therefore, on the 01st February 2020, BDA first issued a handwritten check for the rent payment, and then recorded the Rent Expense Invoice Entry for February 2020 together with the related prepayment entry.

Case Questions:

Answer the following questions based on the case information provided to you:

Open the Big Data Analytics Consulting company with the appropriate session date.

As described in Exercise 9, just assume that the Account 2000 (Accounts Payable) balance in G/L is 2,500 (Credit) as of 31 January 2020.

Setup the opening balances for the Vendors in the Accounts Payable module by recording the following outstanding Invoice transactions:

Batch Description – Setup Opening Balance – Name and ID

Entry 1:

Vendor – Emerald Car Rentals

Invoice Date – December 15, 2019

Invoice Number – 18371

Outstanding Invoice Balance – $ 999.86

Purpose – Travel Expense – Support Services

Term – Net 30 days

HST – Not calculated

Entry 2:

Vendor – Emerald Car Rentals

Invoice Date – December 18, 2019

Invoice Number – 18488

Outstanding Invoice Balance – $ 1,500.14

Purpose – Travel Expense – Support Services

HST – Not calculated

Post the Opening Balance Batch in Accounts Payable.

Review the Aged Payable Report as of 31 January 2020 and verify the balances.

Setup the following Payment Term Code:

NET0 – Net 0 days.

Make NET0 as the default term code for Vendor 130 (Landmark Industrial Estate).

Close the company and open the company with the following session date:

February 29, 2020

Create a new Batch and record the following Accounts Payable Invoice transaction:

Batch Description – February 2020 Invoices – Name and ID

Batch date – February 29, 2020

Entry Description – Rent Expense for February 2020

Invoice Date – 01 February 2020

Invoice Number – 02012020

Invoice Total – $5,650.00

Rent Expense – $ 5,000.00 (Use Distribution Set to allocate the expenses)

HST – Taxable @ 13% – $ 650.00

Term – NET0

Note – Since a handwritten check had been already issued to Landmark Industrial Estate, record the following related prepayment deposit entry, so that the prepayment is applied to the invoice entry and the net payable amount is correctly calculated.

Payment batch description – Feb 2020 Rent Prepayment – Name and ID

Payment Batch Date – February 01, 2020

Bank – TD Bank Chequing Account 1

Payment Date – February 01, 2020

Add a suitable entry description

Handwritten check number – 451

Prepayment deposit amount – 5650

Add and close the Payment entry window.

Verify the Invoice 02012020 Net Payable details from the Invoice Entry Totals tab.

Close the Invoice Entry window.

Close the Invoice Batch List window.

Since the check number 451 has been assigned to the previous prepayment transaction, open the TD Bank Chequing Account 1 record and adjust the next check number as 452.

Assignment 4 – Exercise 14

If the information is not provided to complete a particular setup, just accept the default settings for the setup. But, based on your judgment, you are permitted to make necessary changes to the settings, if such changes are required to complete the assignment questions.

Case Information

As described previously, BDA is expected to make their monthly rent payment on the 1st day of the month. BDA usually records their rent payment as a prepayment entry during the last week of the previous month. On the 1st day of every month, an invoice is recorded for the rent expense for the month, and the prepayment entry is applied to the Rent Invoice.

Case Questions:

Answer the following questions based on the case information provided to you:

Open the Big Data Analytics Consulting company with the session date February 29, 2020.

Go to Vendor Activity window, and select the Invoice Number 02012020 from the Transactions Tab for vendor 130 (Landmark Industrial Estate). Click the Documents button to open the Invoice source document to analyze the entry. Verify the Invoice Total, Prepayment and the Net Payable amounts for the above Invoice from the Totals Tab. The above Invoice and the corresponding Prepayment entries were recorded on the 01 February 2020 (Hint: Exercise 12, Question 8, and Entry 1).

BDA has already posted the February 2020 Rent Expense Invoice 02012020. But, the corresponding prepayment entry with the handwritten check number 451 is not yet posted.

Post the Payment batch that contains the above prepayment entry in the Accounts Payable module.

Create a new Payment batch and record the following Payment transactions:

Batch Description – February 2020 Payments – Name and ID

Bank – TD Bank Chequing Account 1

Entry 1:

Payment Date – February 25, 2020

Payment to – Emerald Car Rentals

Payment by Check (Check to be printed)

Record the payment to Invoice Number 18488 only. BDA wanted to round the payment amount to $1,500.00, and therefore, ensure that the payment amount is 1,500 and not 1,500.14.

Entry 2:

Payment Date – February 25, 2020

Payment to – A to Z Publishers

Payment by Check (Check to be printed)

BDA wanted to make an early payment to Invoice AZ 2122 in order to earn the early payment cash discount. Record the payment to Invoice Number AZ 2122, and ensure that the cash discounts are correctly calculated.

Entry 3:

Payment Date – February 25, 2020

Payment to – Landmark Industrial Estate

Payment by Check (Check to be printed)

Record the March 2020 Rent Payment as a Prepayment Entry. The Prepayment amount would be $ 5,650.00.

Note – On the 01 March 2020, BDA will generate a recurring Invoice to record the Rent Expense for March 2020, and then apply the above prepayment to the Recurring Invoice entry. You are not expected to generate the recurring Invoice entry now, and it will be processed in Exercise 15. Therefore, the above prepayment entry will not be applied to any documents at this point in time.

Process the February 2020 Payments batch in the Accounts Payable Module.

Print the checks for the above batch

Post the Batch in the Accounts Payable module

Print the Aged Payable Report to analyze the open / outstanding Invoice documents as of 29 February 2020.

Identify the Overdue Invoice numbers and the Invoice Amounts.

This Question is related to Exercise 13

It is noted that the outstanding balance amount for Invoice Number 18488 from Emerald Car Rentals is just $ 0.14. Record and Post an adjustment entry to write-off the above payable amount. Invoice 18488 was charged to Travel Expense – Support Services. Therefore, use the Travel Expense – Support Services Account to write-off the above payable amount. HST will not be adjusted for this entry. Record the entry as of 29 Feb 2020.

Print the Aged Payable report as of 29 February 2020 again to verify the adjustment entry results.

BDA wanted to have the capability to automate the payment processing of multiple vendor invoices based on the following criteria:

Pay from TD Bank Chequing Account 1

Select invoices to process payments based on either the Due Date or the Discount Date

Setup an appropriate Payment Selection Code to fulfill the above requirements.

On the 28th February 2020, BDA wanted to process the payments and print the checks for all of the invoices that are going to become due by 10 March 2020. BDA may also select the Invoices for payments if the Discount date for an invoice is between 28 February 2020 and 10 March 2020.

Use the previously created Payment Selection Code to process the System Generated Payment batch based on the above business requirements.

Print the Register and verify the results before generating the payment entries.

Generate the Payment entries if the Register report results are satisfactory.

Modify the System Generated Payment Batch description as follows:

SYSTEM GENERATED – Name and ID

Manually add another entry to the above System Generated batch to also include the following payment:

Payment Date – February 28, 2020

Payment to – ThreeSixtyDegree

Payment by Check (Check to be printed)

Based on the Vendor request, BDA wanted to make only the first installment payment to Invoice 360-536 (Payment 1).

Process the SYSTEM GENERATED Payments batch in the Accounts Payable Module.

Print the checks for the above batch

Post the Batch in the Accounts Payable module

Print the Aged Payable Report as of 29 February 2020 to verify the outstanding vendor balances.
