1.1.1.1. Prerequisites for the AR Aging Module |
Users MUST have full rights to the "AR Aging, Reports" in Accounting Security . Users with “Accounting Security Supervisor” rights will automatically have access.
The Ranges for the Aging screens must be setup within the Sales A/R Setup module.
|
1.1.1.2. Introduction for the AR Aging Module | The process of printing an invoice produces an entry into the Accounts Receivable Aging module of the ManEx System. This dynamic nature of the process ensures that the aging reports always display the current receivables status regardless of whether an item has been posted into the General Ledger.
In order for the aging report to match the balances as shown in the balance sheet and account inquiry screens the user must first release the Sales (Invoice) and receipt information. This creates the underlying Journal Entry which then may be posted into the General Ledger system.
The accounts receivable aging selection provides on screen and printed reports to assist the tracking and collection of outstanding invoices. Further, it provides a way to edit the credit status and payment terms of a customer.

The Accounts Receivable Credit Memo section provides the ability to issue Credit memos against specific Invoice (Invoice CM) or create a General CM. An Invoice Credit Memo will debit SCRAP and credit COGS. If a partial credit is required without returned goods, create a General Credit Memo. For returned goods, create an RMA .
The RMA (Return Material Authorization) module notifies receiving to expect a return from a Customer. The authorization also allows for reworking/replacing the order so that the user doesn’t have to go to another screen to create a Sales Order. Once the RMA is received, a Credit Memo automatically forwards to the Accounting Accounts Receivable Credit Memo module where it can be viewed and printed. Rather than issuing an invoice Credit memo, the user may wish to use the RMA module instead. Please refer to the RMA (Return Material Authorization) Management manual. Note: DO NOT use this module to create a Credit Memo if it involves return of inventory from a Customer, use the RMA process. If the RMA is created from an Invoice the CM type will be "Invoice", if the RMA is a stand-alone the CM type will be "General".

Print Checks
If user receives the following message after depressing the Print Check button:
This message is displayed when the check that the system is attempting to print would end up being for a negative value. One possible reason would be that the Remit To information between the Invoice and Debit Memo's selected on the Check Batch are different, or blank. Due to this the system would want to create two separate checks, and that could place the Debit Memo on a check by itself. We can not allow checks for negative value. So we suggest that you make sure that all of your Remit To information is properly populated within the Supplier Information module. However, there is a work around if you need to create a check for an Invoice and Debit Memo that have different or Blank Remit To Information, you may process the records through the Check Maintenance module, Record & Print a Check . If the "Remit to Address" printing on the check is different then expected or balnk refer to Article #3342 for further detail.

You may only make a change to an un-saved Automated Bank Deduction. If it’s been saved, you are able to edit the Note information only. The reason for this is that these records are the source for the automatic deductions frm the bank account and if we did allow any of the items to be changed user would have no audit trail. (For example if you have an automatic deduction from bank account for payment of an auto loan of $500 on the 2nd of each month and system allowed you to change the amount from $500 to $400 for an office equipment loan in July, you would have no audit trail back for the $500 auto loan).

Note: A Debit Memo created against an open supplier invoice will automatically net against that invoice in the A/P Aging. In the case of a DMR Debit Memo, if the supplier invoice has already been paid, then a Debit Memo will forward to the A/P Aging. This open Debit Memo may be offset against other open invoices from that same supplier via the A/P offset module.

Users MUST have full rights to the "All Journal Activities" in Accounting Security . Users with “Accounting Security Supervisor” rights will automatically have access.
|
1.3.3.4.2. Introduction for Recurring Entry | Recurring Entries are similar to Standard Journal Entries but are interval based. The user can set Recurring Journal Entries to generate every x number of days or periods and save time and effort by avoiding reentering the same posting over and over again. A good example would be an accured interest on a bond. If you have outstanding bonds of $1,000,000 at 6% that will be paid off in one year, so each month for 12 months you would have to accrue the interest liability. In this case you would set up a Recurring Entry to debit the interest expense for $5000, and credit the liability account "Accured Interest Expense" for the same amount.

Users MUST have full rights to the "All Journal Activities" in Accounting Security . Users with “Accounting Security Supervisor” rights will automatically have access.
|
1.3.3.5.2. Introduction for Automatic Distribution Setup | Automatic Distributions are used to distribute expenses from one expense account to others after all other transactions have been posted for the month. A good example would be promotional expense. When they write checks the amount of the check is distributed to one account, say "Promotional General", then at the end of the month the total activity in that account for the month is distrubuted to various departments, say Manufacturing 50%, Admin 30%, Sales 20%. So after the automatic distributions have been posted, the "Promotional General" account has a zero balance for the month's activity and the various accounts have their proportional amount of the expense.
Automatic Distributions may be reviewed at period close.

1.3.3.6. Multi-Currency Feature | We have "Create JE in" currency options when a user adds a new record. Here are the explanation of each type, (I use "TC" for Transaction Currency, "FC" for Functional Currency, and "PC for Presentation currency in below explanation)
"Both Currencies" - User selects a transaction currency, and user can enter debit and credit in any currency and the system will convert the values to another two currencies. All three currency columns are enabled for user to enter. But if the JE record is from "Currency Transfer" module, the TC debit/credit columns are disabled, because there is "manual functional currency entry" checkbox in currency transfer, and we don't want the user to enter new values in transaction currency columns and mess up the functional currency fields.
"Functional Currency" - User selects a transaction currency. Default transaction currency is functional currency, and user can change to different currency. User can enter either functional currency or transaction currency columns, the program will convert one currency fields to another currency fields. Presentation currency columns are disabled, and save 0 and won't be converted from TC or FC. This is for a situation that user only wants to enter JE for functional currency and doesn't want to enter for presentation currency.
"Presentation Currency" - User selects a transaction currency. Default transaction currency is presentation currency, and user can change to different currency. User can enter either presentation currency or transaction currency columns, the program will convert one currency fields to another currency fields. Functional currency columns are disabled, and save 0 and won't be converted from TC or PC. This is for a situation that user only wants to enter JE for presentation currency and doesn't want to affect functional currency. |
1.3.4. G/L Release/Posting/Closing |
1.3.4.1. Release and Post to GL |
1.3.4.1.1. Prerequisites for the Release and Post Module |
Prerequisites Required for General Ledger activity:
GL Setup |
The account information for the General Ledger must be established in the G/L Account Setup .
|
Accounting Security |
Users MUST have full rights to the "ALL Releases to GL" in Accounting Security to be able to release records. Users MUST have full rights to the "ALL Posting to GL" in Accounting Security to be able to post records. Users with “Accounting Security Supervisor” rights will automatically have access.
|
Other Setups |
Please refer to the additional set ups required as discussed in the Introduction below.
|
In order for the ManEx General Ledger module to work correctly, all the modules in Accounting Setup must be setup properly, along with the following list of modules in System Setup :
Inventory Items
For Inventory Items, the Standard Cost must be entered: In Systems with ManEx Accounting installed, the amount entered in the Standard Cost field is used for Cost Accounting functions and is subject to strict change control. If ManEx Accounting is not being used, the field can show actual, target or user defined cost.
Important Note - If accounting is installed: For ALL buy parts, the Standard Cost field MUST have data entered. If this data is missing (or wrong), the Raw Materials Inventory and the Work In Process (WIP) will be incorrect for the accounting records.
Item Master tab – Buy part
·All make parts which are turnkey (not labor only), MUST have data entered in the Standard Cost field. Additionally, the data entered in the Standard Cost field for the make part should equal the sum of the Bill of Materials components. If the sum of the Bill of Materials components does not equal the Standard Cost per the MAKE PART Item Master, a CONFIGURATION VARIANCE will generate. A way to have the system upload these costs automatically is via the Standard Cost Adjustment module.
.

1.3.4.1.2. Introduction for the GL Release and Post Module | Release and Posting Information Overview
ManEx has revised and added new features to the Release and Posting to GL screen that will give the user much more detailed information on screen and flexibility. All transaction can be now released and posted from one screen. It also allows the users more control on how they wish to have the accounting records released/posted per transaction. Also, within the Release/Post Screen, where available user has the ability to drill back to the source in which the Transactions originated from. For Example: Within the Release/Post Sales screen the users will see a link back to the Sales Order and/or Invoice that the transaction originated from. If the user depresses this link the system will then bring them back to that module and record for further review.
Note: This screen is a single user screen, to prevent users from attempting to release/post the same record causing duplicated transactions to be posted to the GL.
There are three options for each of the 17 types of transactions to be released and posted.
1) The current method "Manual Release after Review & Manual Post after Review" This means that the transaction must first be released and then posted as two separate activities.
2) "Auto Release & Manual Post after Review" This means that when the transaction is saved or approved in the originating screen, the transaction is placed in the released tables and only has to go through the posting routine to be posted to the General Ledger.
3) "Immediate Auto Release & Post to G/L without Review" This means that when the transaction is saved or approved in the originating screen it is automatically posted to the General Ledger without having to go through any release or posting screen for review.
Postings To General Ledger are created automatically! For example, when a CUSTOMER INVOICE is printed, the system sets up the Underlying Journal Entry ready to post into the General Ledger.
Three Stage Posting Process:
As designed, the General Ledger presents a 3 stage reporting/posting process to the user.
The first stage updates the aging reports and happens automatically when a Sales Invoice is printed or a Vendor’s Invoice is reconciled or entered directly into the accounts payable system through the use of a Manual Invoice. In this way the current aging status of both A/R and A/P can be known immediately.
The second stage of the process occurs when the user activates the ‘RELEASE TO G/L’ selections. The process creates Underlying Journal Entries for the associated transactions. These Underlying Journals are in turn used in the actual General Ledger update procedure.
The third and final stage of the General Ledger posting procedure is the actual posting to the General Ledger from the Underlying Journals. The posting process updates the tables used to present Balance Sheet and Income Statement information to the user.
Posting means that the transaction is recorded in the GLTRANS table. This information is then used in the GL Reports.
The last process is CLOSING A PERIOD and moving the final closing balance information into the appropriate history files.
Real Time
All of the G/L interfaces are created in a Real Time mode and forward into the various release modules. For example, the instant that the Invoice is printed in the ManEx Administration module, the entry is created and forwards into the Release Sales to General Ledger.
The ManEx general ledger system is designed to give the user the widest range of possible entry options while maintaining compatibility with generally accepted accounting principals.
|
1.3.4.1.3. Fields and Defintions for the Release and Post Module |
1.3.4.1.3.1. General Ledger Release & Post Screen |
Transaction Types:
General Journal Entries |
|
Sales |
The Journal Entry is created once the Customer Invoice is printed. Accounts Receivable is increased by the total amount of the invoice. Sales are increased by the sales price of the items sold. If freight is charged to the customer, that value is recorded. If sales taxes are charged to the customer, the appropriate entry is created. Also, Finished Goods inventory is relieved and the accompanying entry to Cost of Goods Sold is created.
If the user has created a Credit Memo, the entry to record same is created automatically, pro-rata relieving Accounts Receivable, Sales, etc. AND also Reinstating Inventory for any usable inventory returned by their customer. Any Unusable Inventory returned can be directed to the Scrap Account. The system also accepts General Credit Memos, and creates the entry after prompting the user for the appropriate General Ledger Account Number.
|
Deposit Receipt |
Once any Bank Deposit is recorded in the ManEx Accounts Receivable module, the Underlying Journal Entry is created, increasing the bank balance and offsetting Accounts Receivable. If the Cash Receipt is for a Customer Prepayment or Deposit, the Journal Entry records the information according to the default set up by the user. Also, any Miscellaneous Receipt prompts the user for the General Ledger Account Number at the time of data entry, then the ManEx system creates the entire entry.
|
A/R Write-Offs |
The user elects to Write Off any portion of the Customer Invoice, the ManEx system creates the appropriate Journal Entry, reversing pro-rata the entry to Accounts Receivable and sets up the offset to Reserve For Bad Debts.
|
Credit Memos |
If the user has created a Credit Memo, the entry to record same is created automatically, pro-rata relieving Accounts Receivable, Sales, etc. AND also Reinstating Inventory for any usable inventory returned by their customer. Any Unusable Inventory returned can be directed to the Scrap Account. The system also accepts General Credit Memos, and creates the entry after prompting the user for the appropriate General Ledger Account Number. |
Purchasing |
ManEx handles payables created via the Purchase Order module, any Miscellaneous Payables entered via the Manual A/P Entry, or a Recurring Payable in the same fashion. Once the PAYABLE is recorded in the A/P Aging area, the entries to record the payables are set up. The entry increases inventory, expenses, assets and accounts payable.
|
Un-Reconciled Receipts |
When an inventory item is received into stock a transaction is created within the un-reconciled receipts (according to its standard cost) (this is the holder to account for received material) until the receipts are reconciled. |
Checking |
Once Account Payable Checks have been printed, the ManEx system automatically records the appropriate Journal Entry relieving the bank and the Accounts Payable account.ManEx provides the same type of Journal Entry if a Manual Check is recorded.The entry relieves the bank and increases the appropriate General Ledger Account Number entered by the user at the time of recording.
If the user has voided any previously printed or Manual Checks, the ManEx system automatically reverses the original entry
|
Debit Memos |
If the user has created a Debit Memo against any Active A/P Balances, the entry to reverse the payable is created automatically, pro-rata reversing the original payable.Additionally, when the user creates a Discrepant Material Return from Inventory, a Debit Memo will forward to Accounts Payable. The applicable entry will be created debiting Accounts Payable and crediting Raw Materials Inventory.
|
Inventory Receiving |
An entry is created at the time the user Records a Receipt via the Inventory handling function. Raw Materials Inventory is increased with the offset as defined by the user.
The other way these entries are created is when the assembled product is moved to the Finished Goods work center in the Shop Floor Tracking module. The entry created by the system is to increase Finished Goods Inventory, with the offset to Work In Process. If there was a Configuration Variance (see below) this entry is also created.
|
Inventory Issues |
There are four types of inventory issues:
An entry is created at the time the user records an Issue via the Inventory Handling function. Raw Materials Inventory is decreased with the offset as defined by the user.
The other way these entries are created is when the raw material components are pulled for a Work Order. The Entry created by the system is to increase Work In Process Inventory, with the offset to Raw Materials Inventory.
When a Physical Inventory is reconciled, the user may update the Inventory Master for the Inventory On Hand. Note that this action requires a supervisor’s password or specific Post Inventory Adjustments authorization in the Security Utility tab. All of the Reconciled Count Numbers will update the Quantity On Hand in the Inventory Master.Additionally, the requisite Journal Entires for any variances will forward into the accounting module.
Note that Journal Entries will not be created in the following circumstances:
Consigned stock
In Store additions
|
Inventory Transfers |
If, when a Cycle Count is reconciled with the Inventory Records, the count is different than the record, then the user is prompted whether to accept the difference or to recount and re-enter. Count Adjustments are logged to the GL Adjustment Account, if accounting is used.
|
Purchase Variance |
When parts are procured, the purchase order may have a price different than the standard cost. To balance the accounts payable values with the increases in inventory, the difference between the standard cost and the purchase price (based on the PO Reconciliation done in Accounting with the actual invoice) is charged to PPV, or Purchase Priced Variance. E.G., if a parts standard cost is $1.00, and the INVOICE is $1.15, then $1.00 is credited to inventory, $0.15 is credited to PPV, and $1.15 is debited to AP. There are FIVE reports available that detail out the source of the transactions.
For more information on the four Variances see Article #3053
|
Configuration Variance |
When the standard cost of an assembly is different from the sum of the standard costs of its components, the difference must also be addressed in WIP. E.G., if the standard cost of an assembly is $10.00, and the sum of the standard cost of the BOM components is $11.00, then upon moving the assembly from WIP to FGI, WIP is credited with $11.00, Configuration Variance is Debited $1.00 and Inventory is debited $10.00. There are FOUR reports available that detail out the source of the transactions.
For more information on the four Variances see Article #3053
|
Manufacturing Variance |
When the work order has had material kitted to it in addition to that called out by the BOM, or the kit is finished with missing parts (maybe freebies that didn’t get to inventory), the difference between the total issued to the work order and the total value of the BOM parts becomes the Manufacturing Variance. E.G. one batch of parts got lost even though they were kitted to the work order, and a second batch of parts was issued to the work order, the second batch would be a manufacturing variance, since they were lost in the manufacturing process. There are FOUR reports available that detail out the source of the transactions.
For more information on the four Variances see Article #3053
|
Scrap |
At the end of the production process, items transferring into the Scrap Work Center create an accounting entry increasing the scrap default account and decreasing WIP for the value of the number of units of the assembly at the assembly’s Standard Cost.
Additionally, when an Engineering Change Order deletes a line item and that line item is defined as “SCRAP”, an entry increasing scrap and decreasing Raw Materials Inventory is generated.
Within Inventory Handling, the Entry created is to record the movement of Inventory from one warehouse location to another increasing or decreasing General Ledger accounts as defined by the user.
|
Cost Adjustments |
This entry is created in the Standard Cost Adjustment Module. Once the rollup is completed, any adjustments to General Ledger forward to Accounting. The user is allowed to Post Changes to Standard Cost and to generate the General Ledger Entries. Note: This requires a high level accounting password.
|
Other Costs |
Includes Labor, Overhead, User Defined, and Other Costs |
Accts Receivable Prepay |
These transactions are for an A/R Offset.
|
NSF Checks |
If checks previously deposited are returned, the entry to reinstate any Accounts Receivable balance and to lower the appropriate bank account is created automatically when the user records a returned check.
|
Rounding Variance |
If there is a small percentage assigned to run scrap, and the components are in units of Each, we can't issue fractions of a component to the work order. So we would round up to the next integer. For example, if there is a qty of 1 part per assembly (with a 2% run scrap) @ $1.00/ea and the Work Order is for a quantity of 10 we would issue 11 parts @ a total of $11.00 instead of 10.2 parts @ a total of $10.20. So we would be adding the value $11.00 to WIP, but only taking out the quivalent value of $10.20 based on the BOM standard cost. So the difference between the std cost calculation and the actual kit issuance (in the example, $0.80) would be charged to the Rounding Variance upon kit close. For more information on the four Variances see Article #3053 |
Accts Payable Prepay |
These transactions are for an A/P Offset. |

Users MUST have full rights to the "End of Period and FY" in Accounting Security . Users with “Accounting Security Supervisor” rights will automatically have access.
Fiscal year end closing is a multi step process. First go through all of the normal Period End Closing routines. Print off all of the desired GL Reports , including a Year End Trial Balance Report.
|
1.3.4.2.2. Introduction for the End of Period & F/Y Closing |
The closing of the final period of a fiscal year serves to close the fiscal year itself and to reset the current balance entries. All of the Income Statement Accounts will zero out and post into the Retained Earnings Account.
You do not have to close the fiscal period or fiscal year on the last day of that period. We do not recommend keeping the periods open for months, but it is okay to spend some time (couple weeks) to go review your accounts/numbers before closing.
Production does not need to stop in order for you to close the prior period/fiscal year.
In Manex system, even if the prior period is still open anything production does their transaction is time stamped for the fiscal period the transaction happened in.
Example;
I have not yet closed fiscal period 3 (March 1st- March 31st) but today's date is April 16th so any transactions done will be in Fiscal Period 4
Again you can see my current period open is Period 3 but I have transactions done in April so they will be posted to Fiscal Period 4 when released and posted.
Production can continue to work even if accounting is reviewing prior periods.

OVERVIEW
Balance Sheet reporting provides for the printout of ending balance values in a standard format as defined by the user. The Account Type, Account setup and report default definition is defined in the setup modules for the General Ledger .
Current period report provides a single column of output while the comparative reports provide for two columns of data to compare one set of data with another. For example, one may compare the current period with the prior period, current period with same period in the previous year, current period and year to date, etc. The three Consolidated reports available are for the users that have multiple divisions setup within the ManEx system. They are the same as the individual balance sheets, but these reports consolidate multiple division into one report.
Note: If the user is having problems with the totaling within the Balance Sheet, the following is the way that the accounting normal balances are established within the ManEx General Ledger Account Ranges for the printing of the financial statements.
All asset accounts must be set up with the normal balance value as DEBIT, including contra accounts.The system doesn’t distinguish between a liability and a contra asset on the balance sheet, therefore any contra asset must be identified with a normal balance of debit. This does not mean that the system will treat contra assets as normally having an accounting balance of debit. The debit in this field signifies only that it is part of the asset group and not a part of the liability group for the purpose of printing of the financial statements.
- All Liability /Equity accounts must be set up with the normal balance value as CREDIT, including contra accounts. The system doesn’t distinguish between an asset and a contra liability/equity accounton the balance sheet, therefore any contra liability/equity must be identified with a normal balance of credit. This does not mean that the system will treat contra liability/equity accounts as normally having an accounting balance of credit. The credit in this field signifies only that it is part of the liability/equity group and not a part of the asset group for the purpose of printing of the financial statements.
Once you have made your selection in the detail report, depress the OK button.
Enter the desired Fiscal Year and Period. The system is defaulted to NOT "Show Zero Balance". If you need the report to show the Zero Balance accounts then you will need to select "Yes".
