4 Setting Up CIS for the United Kingdom

This chapter contains the following topics:


Note:

After you install the programs for the construction industry scheme that is in effect beginning April 2007, your system will display two menu structures; one for the new scheme and one for the scheme that you use for transactions prior to April 2007. To access the programs for the new scheme, use the G74U04xx menus. Use the G74U02xx menus to access programs for the previous scheme.

4.1 Understanding Setup for CIS Processing

To set up the system for CIS processing, you must:

4.1.1 Prerequisite

Before completing the tasks in this chapter, verify that the Localization Country Code field in the User Profile Revisions program (P0092) is set to UK (United Kingdom).

4.2 Entering Address Book Information for Subcontractors

This section provides an overview of the information required for subcontractors and discusses how to enter address book information for subcontractors.

4.2.1 Understanding Required Information for Subcontractors

In addition to the standard information that you enter for suppliers, when you set up address book information for subcontractors:

  • Set up address book records for subcontractors using a search type of S (subcontractors) or V (suppliers) and the category code that you set up in the CIS System Constants program (P74U0100) to identify them as subcontractors.

  • Set up a supplier master record for each subcontractor for which you set up an address book record.

    On the Tax Information tab of the Supplier Master Revision form, specify the address book number for the Inland Revenue Service in the Tax Authority field.

  • Enter additional address book information for subcontractors in the Address Book Additional Information program (P74U4010).

    The system launches the Address Book Additional Information program automatically when you click OK or Regional Info on the Address Book Revisions form and your user preference is set to UK (United Kingdom). The system saves the information that you enter to the CIS Address Book (F74U4010) and the F74U4015 tables.

4.2.1.1 Legal Subcontractors and Trade Subcontractors

You might need to set up more than one supplier as a single subcontractor. When you need to generate purchase orders, vouchers, and payments to more than one supplier for a single subcontractor, you can associate a trade subcontractor to a legal subcontractor. The legal subcontractor is registered with the HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC); the trade subcontractor is not registered.

For example, suppose ABC Subcontracting Company is registered with the HMRC. A UTR, company registration number, and National Insurance Number (NINO) exists for ABC Subcontracting. Suppose further that ABC Subcontracting has a branch office (ABC North) that supplies some of the labor for projects. In this scenario, you would:

  • Set up both companies as suppliers.

  • Create a record for ABC Subcontracting Company by entering the UTR, company registration number, and NINO in the Address Book Additional Information program.

  • Associate ABC North to ABC Subcontracting Company in the Address Book Additional Information program by:

    • Entering the address book number for ABC North in the SubContract Number field, and;

    • Completing the Legal Subcontractor field with the address book number of ABC Subcontracting Company.

      When you complete the Legal Subcontractor field, the system disables the subcontractor information fields, including the UTR, CRN, Acting For, Business Type, and NINO.

4.2.1.2 System Validations

The system validates the following information in the Address Book Additional Information program:

  • UTR

    The system uses a validation routine to verify that the first digit is a check digit and that the first digit is followed by 9 numeric digits.

  • Company registration number

    This number can be in the format of AANNNNNN, where A is an alpha character and N is a numeric character, or it can be in the format of NNNNNNNN, where N is a numeric character. At least one character must be numeric, but no more than the number of numeric characters allowed by the format.

  • NINO

    The system validates that the format is AANNNNNNA, where A is an alpha character and N is a numeric character. The first alpha character must other than D, F, I, Q, U, or V. The second alpha character must be other than D, F I, O, Q, U, or V. The last character must be A, B, C, D, or blank.

  • Subcontractor business type

    Assign a value from the 74U/SB UDC table to identify the business type of the subcontractor.

4.3 Setting Up Constants for Supplemental CIS Functionality

This section provides an overview of constants for supplemental CIS functionality and discusses how to set up supplemental CIS constants.

4.3.1 Understanding Constants for Supplemental CIS Functionality

You use the CIS Supplement Constants program (P74U0402) to specify how to use the CIS supplemental functionality. You can enable part, all, or none of the supplemental functionality. The functionality provided in the supplemental CIS modules enables you to include or exclude transactions from CIS and to split CIS vouchers. You use the supplemental functionality when you work with subcontractor payment control (SPC).

See Working With Purchase Orders for SPC in the United Kingdom.

The system saves the values that you set up to the CIS - Supp Constants - UK table (F74U0402).


Note:

Company 00000 is the default company. You must set up Company 00000 before setting up any other company because the value that you enter for the Defined Voucher Splitting Status field for Company 00000 is copied for all other companies.

You select a value from the CIS Process Flow (74U/CF) UDC table to enable part, all, or none of the supplemental functionality. The options for enabling the supplemental functionality are:

Value in 74U/CF Description
1 Use base CIS only. When you select this option, you cannot use any of the supplemental CIS functionality.

Note: You can use the processing options for the existing CIS Calculate Withholding program (R74U04580) whether or not you enable supplemental CIS functionality.

2 Enable option to include or exclude transaction from CIS scheme.

When you select this option, you can:

  • Define inclusion in the CIS based on the nature of the work or operation as provided in the supplemental CIS functionality.

    The system displays the CIS Operations Included/Excluded form as part of the purchase order entry process. You use this form to specify whether to include or exclude the purchase order from the CIS process.

  • Add to the CIS scheme transactions that were initially excluded from the CIS scheme by changing the voucher status using the CIS Tag File Revision program (P74U0118).

When you select this option, you cannot use the CIS supplemental CIS voucher splitting functionality, which enables you to split transactions into taxable and nontaxable elements after voucher creation.

3 Enable voucher splitting.

When you select this option:

  • You can use voucher splitting as enabled by the CIS supplemental functionality.

    The supplemental CIS functionality enables you to enter one line in the application that includes both taxable and nontaxable amounts, and then split the line into taxable and nontaxable amounts before you calculate CIS withholding. The system creates a record in the CIS Tag File table (F74U0116) with a status of blank when you enter the voucher. The CIS Pre-Withholdings Validation Application program (R74U4030A) updates the status to S to enable you to split the voucher.

  • You cannot define the inclusion in the CIS based on the nature of the work or operation as provided in the supplemental CIS functionality.

Note: If you do not enable voucher splitting, you must enter separate lines in the subcontractor application for taxable and nontaxable amounts because the system assigns different pay statuses to lines for which withholding applies. You can also use the Split function in the Speed Status Change program (P0411S) to split CIS vouchers before running the CIS Pre-Withholdings Validation Application program.

4 Enable all supplemental CIS functionality.

When you select this option, you can:

  • Use voucher splitting as defined in the supplemental CIS functionality.

    The supplemental CIS functionality enables you to enter one line in the application that includes both taxable and nontaxable amounts, and then split the line into taxable and nontaxable amounts before you calculate CIS withholding. The system creates a record in the CIS Tag File table (F74U0116) with a status of blank when you enter the voucher. The CIS Pre-Withholdings Validation Application program (R74U4030A) updates the status to S to enable you to split the voucher.

    Note: If you do not enable voucher splitting, you must enter separate lines in the subcontractor application for taxable and nontaxable amounts because the system assigns different pay statuses to lines for which withholding applies. You can also use the Split function in the Speed Status Change program (P0411S) to split CIS vouchers before running the CIS Pre-Withholdings Validation Application program.

  • Define inclusion or exclusion of a transaction in the CIS scheme based on the nature or the work or operation.

    The system displays the CIS Operations Included/Excluded form as part of the purchase order entry process. You use this form to specify whether to include or exclude the purchase order from the CIS process.

  • Add to the CIS scheme transactions that were initially excluded from the CIS scheme by changing the voucher status using the CIS Tag File Revision program (P74U0118).



Important:

When you set the CIS Process Flow constant to 2 or 4, the system enables you to include or exclude a purchase order from the CIS. The system assigns the records for excluded transactions a CIS Status of X in the F0411 CIS Tag Table (F74U0116). You must set the data selection for the Statement of Payment and Deduction (R74U4040) and CIS Monthly Return (R74U4050) programs to exclude records for which the CIS Status is X.

Defined Voucher Splitting Status

Enter a value from the CIS Voucher Status (74U/VS) UDC table to specify the status that a voucher must obtain before you can split the voucher. You specify this value for Company 00000 only. The system uses the value that you set up for Company 00000 for all other companies that you set up. For example, you might enter S (payment statement printed).

CIS Process Flow

Enter a value from the CIS Process Flow (74U/CF) UDC table to specify whether to enable the supplemental CIS functionality. Values are:

1: Base CIS. Do not use the supplemental CIS functionality. The system uses the base CIS functionality only.

2:Option To Classify Work/Ops. Enable the user to define inclusion in the CIS based on the nature of the work or operation, but do not enable the voucher splitting as defined in the supplemental CIS functionality.

3:Voucher Splitting. Enable the voucher splitting functionality of the CIS supplemental functionality, but do not enable the option to classify the transaction based on the nature of the work or operation.

4: Voucher split - option to clarify. Enable all supplemental CIS functionality.

Category Code 6

Specify a category code to associate with the constants. The system stores the value in the CIS - Supp Constants - UK table (F74U040). The category code that you specify here is not associated with a UDC table. You can use the value for data selection for reports that use the F74U040 table.

Category Code 7

Specify a category code to associate with the constants. The system stores the value in the CIS - Supp Constants - UK table (F74U040). The category code that you specify here is not associated with a UDC table. You can use the value for data selection for reports that use the F74U040 table.

4.4 Setting Up Payment Rules for CIS

This section provides an overview of payment rules for CIS, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to:

  • Set up special payee types.

  • Set up cross-references for special payee types.

4.4.1 Understanding Payment Rules for CIS

Instead of making a payment directly to a subcontractor, you might need to send the payment to a third party (alternative payee). In some cases, the third party might be an entity for whom payments are regulated by the CIS. The supplemental CIS module enables you to have the system validate whether the third party is set up in your system as a subcontractor under the rules of the CIS.

If you set up the alternative payee and define a cross reference between the subcontractor and the alternative payee, you can set a processing option in the CIS Pre-Withholding Validation program (R74U4030A) to have the system validate the subcontractor information for the alternative payee.

You use the Special Payee Definitions program (P74U0452) and the Subcontractor/Special Payee Cross Ref program (P74U0451) to set up the special payee types and then associate the types with the subcontractors and payees. You then set up the supplier master record for the subcontractor with the special payee's address book number.

Payments that you send to special payees do not include the withholding amounts that are payable to the government and calculated when you run the Calculate Withholding program (R74U04580). You retain the withholding amounts until you send them to the government. The Statement of Payments and Deductions (R74U4040) and CIS Monthly Return (R74U4050) reports include the payments made to third parties as if the payments had been made directly to the subcontractor.

4.4.2 Prerequisites

Before you perform the tasks in this section:

  • Set up an address book record for the special payee.

  • Set up a bank account record for the special payee.

    You cannot issue payment to the special payee using the automatic payment process unless bank account information exists for the special payee.

4.5 Setting Up Processing Options for CIS Operations - UK (P74U0126)

The system uses the values in these processing options to determine the UDC table from which to display values for including or excluding purchase orders from CIS. You specify the system code in the Product Code processing option, and specify the user-defined code in the User Defined Code processing option. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system provides the 74U/IO UDC table to hold these values, so you should set up these processing options with those values.

4.5.1 Default

4.6 Setting Up CIS System Constants for the United Kingdom

This section provides an overview of CIS system constants, lists a prerequisite, and discusses how to set up CIS constants.

4.6.1 Understanding CIS System Constants

CIS system constants provide the basic framework for how the CIS operates for your business needs. These parameters enable you to:

  • Specify the effective date of the CIS scheme used.

  • Activate the scheme.

  • Define how to identify subcontractors within the scheme.

  • Define which GL accounts fall within the scheme.

  • Provide system process default values.


    Important:

    After you set up the CIS system constants, you must update the account master record with the category code value that you specify in the CIS constants for all of the GL accounts that fall within the CIS. You must also update the address book records with the category code value that you specify in the CIS constants for all subcontractors within the scheme.

4.6.2 Prerequisite

Set up these category codes:

  • An address book category code (01/01–30) to identify subcontractors.

  • An account category code (09/01–23) to identify GL accounts that fall within CIS.

CIS Default Pay Status

Enter a code from the Payment Status Code (00/PS) UDC. The system uses the code that you enter as the default pay status for CIS subcontractor vouchers that are entered through Voucher Entry (P0411), Speed Voucher Entry (P0411SV), or Voucher Match (P4311).

4.6.4.2 Address Book Category Code

A/B Category Code (address book category code)

Select one of the address book category codes to identify CIS subcontractors. This option is used in conjunction with the Designated Flag A/B field.

Designated Flag A/B (designated flag address book)

Specify the value that exists in the category code you selected in the A/B Category Code field that indicates that a subcontractor is subject to CIS.

4.6.4.3 Object Account Category Code

O/A Category Code (object account category code)

Select one of the object account category codes to identify taxable GL accounts that are used to pay CIS subcontractors' labor. This field is used in conjunction with the value in the Designated Flag O/A field.

Designated Flag O/A (designated flag object account)

Specify the value that exists in the category code that you selected in the O/A Category Code field that identifies the taxable G/L accounts that are used to pay CIS subcontractors' labor.

4.6.4.4 CIS Update

Effective Date From

Enter the date of the scheme that takes effect in 2007 to use the processing logic that applies to that scheme. To use the scheme that is in effect prior to the 2007 scheme, do not enter a date for this constant.

CIS End Period Day

Enter the day on which the reporting period ends. For example, if the reporting period ends on the 5th day of the month, enter 5.

4.7 Setting Up CIS Company Constants

This section provides an overview of the CIS company constants, lists prerequisites, and discusses how to set up CIS company constants.

4.7.1 Understanding CIS Company Constants

Use CIS Company Constants (P74U0101) program to enter this information about the contractor:

  • CIS tax reference number

  • Unique tax reference (UTR)

  • Tax office number

  • Account office reference (AORef)

The UTR consists of a check digit followed by 9 numeric digits. The system validates the first character of the UTR.

The AORef that you enter must be in this format:

  • Characters 1, 2, and 3 are numeric.

    Use leading zeros (0) to complete the 3 characters, if necessary.

  • Character 4 must be the letter p.

  • Character 5 must be alpha.

  • Characters 6–13 must be numeric.

    Use leading zeros (0) to complete these characters, if necessary.

The system validates the requirements for the characters entered for the AORef.

The system saves data about the CIS company constants to the CIS Company Constants (F74U0101) table and the CIS Company Constants 2007 Update (F74U0111) table.

4.7.2 Prerequisites

Before you complete the tasks in this section:
