Update on Cash Deposit Decoupling Enhancement

We appreciate your support (and adoption) with the Cash Deposit Decoupling enhancement, implemented July 21.

Beth Grondahl, Sr Manager Banking, shared that Banking provided responses to specific questions and provided guidance. Many folks simply said “Finally!” and of course many others were happy to prepare fewer deposits- which will result in real dollar Bank Service Fee expense savings.  This initiative began 5+ years ago, so yes, we in Banking [and on the project team] are very happy to have a successful implementation!

Please be sure you are following the proper decoupling procedures if you meet the Eligibility Requirements criteria to realize the benefits of reduced deposits and banking fees. Cash Decoupling Procedure documents are available to help you better understand this change. We recommend the following resources: UFS Reporting Procedures Sodexo_Net page

Cost Center Operating Report (CCOR)

We are in the process of deploying the Cost Center Operating Report (CCOR) to UFS users in pure P&L sites by segment. CCOR is a new dynamic report which will eventually replace the WOR in UFS and will save users time and provide more timely and useable weekly operating information. Remaining P&L sites will be notified by the end of August.

Users with other contract types will receive access to CCOR, once we have implemented a solution for the SCAS timing challenge impacting non-P&L contract Cost Centers. Here is an update on progress and a few answers to some questions you’ve been asking.

What is the SCAS Challenge?

The Sodexo Client Accounting System (SCAS) is used to calculate the Client’s and Sodexo’s portion of the profit and loss based on the terms specified in the client contracts. The results are posted to the general ledger and reflected in the financial reports. Since weekly UFS activity is not due until the Monday following a Friday weekending, SCAS journalizes activity one week behind.

This means when you look at your Unit Operating Profit for the current week, it may not be correct. The same logic is applied to any variable calculation in SCAS for all contract types, i.e. sales commissions, royalties, etc., however, there is a greater impact in non-P&L accounts.

The SAP Functional Team is working towards a solution and hopes to have it in place by early FY2021.

Who has access to CCOR?

Currently UFS users from P&L cost centers in Universities, Hospitals, Seniors, Government and Corporate Services, have been given access, with the rest of the segments deploying over the coming weeks. The goal is to be fully deployed to pure P&L accounts in all segments by the end of August 2020.

What cost centers will I have access to?

Hierarchy access in CCOR is based on your current hierarchy access in BRIO, therefore, whichever Cost Centers you have access to in BRIO, you will have access to in CCOR.

If you need to add or remove Cost Centers from your hierarchy, you will need to submit your request by completing the BRIO section in the Information Security form on SodexoNet.

Page 4: UFS Touchpoints · Web viewIf you have any questions, please contact the Accounts Payable Department at (800) 828-7762 option 1, option 2. UFS Service Desk User Tips Why Can’t I

How do non-UFS users request access?

Non-UFS users can send an email to [email protected] requesting access. Remember to include your Employee ID and Cost Center number. Please be aware that if you have access to P&L and non-P&L accounts your roll-up information may not be up to date (due to the SCAS timing challenge).

When will other contract type sites receive access?

Once a solution for the SCAS timing challenge is in place, access will be assigned to all UFS users in all the remaining contract type sites. We are anticipating a solution in early FY2021.

Where can I send questions and feedback?

Please send all questions and/or feedback to the UFS mailbox [email protected].

Sodexo Procurement Company (SoPro) Formed to Centralize US Supply Purchases

What’s happening?

Effective Monday, Aug. 10, Sodexo officially launched Sodexo SoPro, a procurement company formed to centralize U.S. purchases of operating supplies across the enterprise. Procurement companies are a commonly used tool for large businesses to consolidate aspects of purchasing.

Why are we doing this?

This newly established entity will give Sodexo control over its processes and the ability to become more efficient from a tax perspective. It will improve overall tax accuracy (preventing over- and underpayments) and client relations (because Sodexo will be able to quickly address client tax issues without having to wait for a vendor response).

What does this mean day-to-day?

SoPro will provide resale certificates to our participating EDI vendors who will not charge tax. Vendors who submit paper invoices will not be part of this new process. SoPro will calculate and charge sales tax to the units, taking into consideration existing resale and exemption certificates from our clients. Sales tax will only be charged one-time: to the end user. There will be no internal mark-up on prices of items purchased by SoPro and sold to units. As you review your unit financials, you may begin to see some sales/use tax savings in response to Sodexo paying an appropriate amount of tax on its purchases.

Please note: for clients who reimburse Sodexo costs, SoPro will be used to realize sales/use tax savings where possible and will share those with a client in the form of reduced costs.

Page 5: UFS Touchpoints · Web viewIf you have any questions, please contact the Accounts Payable Department at (800) 828-7762 option 1, option 2. UFS Service Desk User Tips Why Can’t I

What will this mean for you?

This should not change your day-to-day processes. You will continue to order and approve invoices the same way you currently do. SoPro is designed to run behind the scenes just as our use tax accrual program currently does. You may see some new journal entries on your financials resulting from SoPro.

Who is included?

Units located in the US are generally included; Units in Canada, Guam and Puerto Rico are not. Currently the following segments are excluded – Entegra, Centerplate, Roth, E&R and Government.

Where can I get more information about SoPro LLC?

SoPro, LLC has a page on Sodexo_Net with additional information such as talking points, Frequently Asked Questions and Contacts for Additional questions.

Deadline for Processing Invoices in the Fiori Portal

The deadline for processing August invoices is Wednesday, September 2 (BD+2) at

5:00 PM ET. Invoices with a “Settlement To” date of August 31 (or prior) must be

approved by this deadline to post to August’s financials.

An automatic sales accrual based on the last invoice generated will post to August’s

financials for any “Settlement To” billing dates of August 31 (or prior) that have not been

invoiced. This accrual will also include estimates for any August service dates which

may be included on a September 1 or subsequent “Settlement To” invoice.

To ensure that exact/accurate sales figures are posted to August’s financials, please be

sure to approve any invoice with a “Settlement To” date of August 31 (or prior) if you

have the information necessary by 5PM ET on September 2.

Similarly, if your cost center was temporarily closed or should not bill one or more “Settlement To” dates of August 31 of prior, use the “Skip Billing Dates” feature in the Fiori portal to assign those dates “Temp Close” status. This will notify our financial applications that sales should not be accrued for these service dates. This must also be completed by Wednesday, September 2 (BD+2) at 5:00 PM ET.

FY 2020 Client Advanced Billing & Collection by Fiscal Year-end 8/31/20

REMINDER! For Universities Units: If your contract requires a Client Advance Billing for the new fiscal year 2021, we ask you to make every effort to generate and collect the Client Advance Billing by August 31, 2020.

Why? Billing and collecting Client Advances by fiscal year-end, August 31, 2020, will have a positive impact on Sodexo’s cash flow; and help lower DSO (Daily Sales Outstanding).

For additional support, please contact Client Accounting with questions:

Year-end Revenue Accounting Tips

With Year-end just around the corner, here are some helpful tips to ensure your activity is posted accurately and without additional review.

Please remember to transmit your activity no later than 11:45PM on Tuesday, September 1 (BD+1).

The unit should review their UFS input for reasonableness and accuracy prior to transmission. The #1 item that holds up a unit’s posting is erroneous register overage and shortage.

Loads to SoGo Cards or Declining Balance Cards should not be reported as revenue and should be booked to a deferred income balance sheet account.

Submit all Unit Managed Gift Certificate Logs and Prepaid Liability Reports to [email protected] no later than Tuesday, September 1 (BD+1).

Double check to make sure that all services that are invoiced via UFS have been created and transmitted by Tuesday, September 1 (BD+1).

Any services that were rendered in PD 12 that were not invoiced by Tuesday, September 1 (BD+1) must be accrued for in FY 2020. Please reach out to Client Accounting Services to accrue for that activity.

For questions, contact Revenue Accounting:

Call 800-828-7762 option 2, option 1, option 2 Or email [email protected].

Submit Your Purchase Card Transactions by End of FY20

Each period outstanding purchase card transactions are accrued to miscellaneous expense. The accrual posts in the last week of the period and includes un-submitted transactions, transactions waiting for approval, and transactions on approved expense reports which have not been released by the Expense Report team. This accrual reverses in the first week of the new period. To ensure your costs are recorded accurately for the end of FY20, submit any outstanding purchase card transactions on an expense report by 8/24/20.

Include all open transactions on one report. There is a $1.37 fee charged by Concur for each report submitted. Managing how your P-Card transactions are submitted on expense reports will keep these costs down. For example: If you are spending less than $500 per month, it is recommended to submit one expense report per period. If you are spending more the $500 per month, it is recommended to submit a report weekly.

Please refer to AF Topic 811-15 Sodexo Purchase Card or contact [email protected] with any questions.

Eliminate Late Payables and Close Books Successfully

Late Payables continue to be a challenge and now more than ever they present risk for misstating financials and delaying operations.  To stay on top of open invoices and minimize late payables for FY20 please follow the instructions below:

Common examples of Late Payables involve routine maintenance and ongoing projects for which you have not received an invoice by August 31st. Tracking orders, subscriptions, etc. for which you have not been invoiced will also assist with identifying unrecorded expenses. 

1. Transmit paper invoices in UFS during the week/period the invoices are dated, and the goods/services are received. 

If invoices are not received timely:a. Contact your vendors and request that they email or fax outstanding

invoices ORb. Ask your vendors if they offer an online option for retrieving invoices.

2. Reconcile and approve electronic invoices (in UFS/e-Pay or Market Connection) within the week/period the goods/services are received.

If an invoice does not appear in e-Pay or TMC timely:a. Contact your vendors to determine if the invoice has been sent.b. Submit a Missing Invoice Investigation Form (on Sodexo_Net) – these

invoices will be automatically accrued if the investigation has not been resolved by fiscal period end. 

Page 11: UFS Touchpoints · Web viewIf you have any questions, please contact the Accounts Payable Department at (800) 828-7762 option 1, option 2. UFS Service Desk User Tips Why Can’t I

3. For Maximo users, be certain to complete Goods Receipt and Invoice submissions within SAP/Fiori by August 31.

4. Load and approve in Concur all invoices, receipts, and expense reports for purchases made using a Corporate card or P-card.

5. Accrue for open invoices not available by the end of the fiscal period using the Standard Close Adjustment Form. This includes electronic invoices for which a missing invoice investigation form has not been submitted.

If you have any questions, please contact the Accounts Payable Department at (800) 828-7762 option 1, option 2.

UFS SERVICE DESK USER TIPS

Why Can’t I Update or Edit My Inventory Record?

Are you trying to update your Inventory by Account, Inventory by Item or Commodity Inventory and receiving an error message that you cannot edit a record that has been transmitted?

Here are a few key points to remember about Web UFS Inventory:

Transmission of the Inventory Module is limited to “Once per node per week-ending date”

Your current inventory counting, and reporting procedures have not changed. o If you were counting and reporting at month-end prior to the change,

you will continue to report month-end inventory. o If you were reporting inventory each week prior to the change, you will

continue to count, and report inventory each week. If you transmit Inventory and attempt to edit it in the same UFS week ending date,

you will receive an error message:

A reminder message will pop-up when you are in the Transmit to FSC screen and have selected Inventory for transmission.

Page 12: UFS Touchpoints · Web viewIf you have any questions, please contact the Accounts Payable Department at (800) 828-7762 option 1, option 2. UFS Service Desk User Tips Why Can’t I

Deselect the Inventory option in Transmit to FSC screen until ALL inventory records for ALL units within the node have been edited with new inventory counts for the week (or month-end if you don’t count weekly).

As you can see in this example, there are three inventory records for three different units in the Web UFS Node. Two of them have been updated for the UFS week ending date and one has not been updated since the previous week. If this third unit will need to update inventory counts for the week, you should not select inventory when transmitting, as shown in the screenshot above.

Pourquoi ne puis-je pas mettre à jour ou modifier mon enregistrement d'inventaire?

Essayez-vous de mettre à jour votre inventaire par compte, inventaire par article ou inventaire de produits et recevez un message d'erreur indiquant que vous ne pouvez pas modifier un enregistrement qui a été transmis?

Voici quelques points clés à retenir sur l'inventaire UFS Web:

La transmission du module d'inventaire est limitée à «Une fois par nœud par date de fin de semaine»

Vos procédures actuelles de comptage et de rapport d'inventaire n'ont pas changé.o Si vous comptiez et déclariez à la fin du mois avant le changement, vous

continuerez à déclarer l'inventaire de fin de mois.o Si vous déclariez l'inventaire chaque semaine avant le changement, vous

continuerez à compter et à déclarer l'inventaire chaque semaine. Si vous transmettez l'inventaire et tentez de le modifier à la même date de fin de

semaine UFS, vous recevrez un message d'erreur Un message de rappel s'affiche lorsque vous êtes dans l'écran Transmettre au FSC

et que vous avez sélectionné Inventaire pour la transmission. Désélectionnez l’option Inventaire dans l’écran Transmettre au FSC jusqu’à ce que

TOUS les enregistrements d’inventaire pour TOUTES les unités du nœud aient été modifiés avec les nouveaux inventaires pour la semaine (ou la fin du mois si vous ne comptez pas chaque semaine).

Comme vous pouvez le voir dans cet exemple, il existe trois enregistrements d'inventaire pour trois unités différentes dans le nœud Web UFS. Deux d'entre eux ont été mis à jour pour la date de fin de la semaine UFS et un n'a pas été mis à jour depuis la semaine précédente. Si cette troisième unité doit mettre à jour les

décomptes d'inventaire pour la semaine, vous ne devez pas sélectionner l'inventaire lors de la transmission, comme indiqué dans la capture d'écran ci-dessus.
