Munsoft Software Release 7.0.11

DESCRIPTION

Munsoft version 7.0.11 was crafted in alignment with the drive from National Treasury to ensure that Stage 1 & Stage 2 validation errors are eradicated from monthly actual uploads whilst enabling our users to address the requirement to upload their adjustment budgets in time for the deadline.

Clients have far greater visibility into their Stage 1 & 2 validation status as these are now indicated within the Month End dashboard to assist users to achieve a green upload status.

Additional functionality has been provided around the VAT requirements where users can now extract their revenue VAT details into a report as required.

As per usual there are a host of error fixes and enhancements included within this release and users can reference their logged issues against the SYSAID number indicated with each item.

RELEASE ITEMS

The following issues are addressed within the Munsoft 7.0.11 release.

NT UPLOAD VALIDATION ON MONTH END DASHBOARD

Enhancements have been made to the month end dashboard to allow it to record the number of records that will be rejected when uploading the monthly actuals to the National Treasury portal. The month end dashboard will display the upload status of the M0 and debtor’s uploads.

‘O‘ is for Invalid on Phase 1. ‘Y‘ is Valid on Phase 1 and invalid on Phase 2. ‘G‘ is valid on Phase 1 and 2. Red means that there is no record of the extract being run and might not have been uploaded. Any segment combination that is not valid in Phase 1 has been blocked. The Segment Maintenance and Quick code maintenance screen will stop a user from unblocking a segment or quick code if the combination is invalid.

The Payroll interface and Journal Authorization screen will block any invalid segment strings. The M0 Actuals extract will warn the operator of rejected entries and will provide and extract listing phase 1 and phase 2 rejected entries.

ADDITION OF A NEW REVENUE OUTPUT VAT REPORT

Munsoft users now have access to a new Revenue Output VAT Report which will summarize all VAT settled and payments receipts by SCOA service for Consumers, Sundries and Cashiers (separately) in a .csv extract.

The Vat amount should balance to your CONTRO 000100, 000101 and 000102 entries in the GL and the Payment amount to your Cashiers Receipt listing. If the service field is blank it is due to a payment reversal that have reversed output VAT due to the lack of data available to link back to what was reversed, which has been resolved with the Munsoft 7.0.11 release.

Another issue resolved is the small VAT amounts on rates services are due to the recalculation of a debtors ageing settlements.
