Process Sales Reports Page

When setting the percent rent terms in a lease, the sales reports form the basis that the system uses to calculate rent. After you set the percent rent terms and activate the lease, you begin working with the tenant sales reports to periodically generate the rent invoices.

You collate, enter, and revise all reported sales figures for the past period in the Report Sales - Sales Report Details page. This page enables you to enter estimated or actual figures, and the system calculates the appropriate rent amount, taking into consideration the percentage breakpoints and base rent setup. The system uses the percent and fixed amount selection and enters a fixed amount for every breakpoint row.

Note: You can select a billing calendar for a lease that suits your billing frequency. If the tenant reports sales in a different frequency than billing, you can select a billing calendar for a lease that suits your billing frequency.

The system populates the categories that are set up in the lease by default. You cannot add any additional rows for categories because they have to be set up on the lease to exist on the worksheet to provide validations.

You can isolate missing sales reports. For the missing reports, you can enter estimated information. Based on the sales estimation method and the adjustment factor that you selected while setting up the percent rent terms, you can estimate the sales.

After bringing the data from the estimation tools into the worksheet, the system enables you to adjust the calculated data. If the system is unable to generate an estimate, it displays a warning indicating the reason. Once you are satisfied with the estimate, you can click Create Pending Invoice in the worksheet and initiate the transfer to Billing or PeopleSoft Payables for further processing. The Create Pending Invoice button is visible only when the billing calendar and reporting calendars are same on the lease. If they are different, users need run the Process Sales Reports process to generate the bill. As in normal sales reporting, the system saves the estimates along with the date, time, and user ID to the database for historical purposes.

Importing Sales Reports

You can populate the into the Report Sales - Sales Report Details page by importing the sales reports from a file. Before you can import sales reports, you must set up the URL path for attachments and configure the sales report file format.

Access the URL Maintenance page for the RE_ATTACHMENTS identifier and enter the URL in the format ftp://<username>:<password>@<machinename>/directory name. The user name and password are critical, as the system uses these to connect all users to the FTP server. The <machinename> is the physical name by which the FTP server is identified on the network. You can include the directory name on the server where the sales report attachments are stored, or you can store the sales report attachments in the root directory of the FTP server. If you store the resume attachments anywhere but the root of the FTP server, you must append the directory name to the URL.

To populate the Report Sales - Sales Report Details page, the system uses data from the file along with lease data that already exists.

The system accepts only the translate values for the Sales Amount Type field. These are the valid values with their descriptions:

  • 1: Reported

  • 2: Estimated

  • 3: Actual

  • 4: Audited

The file layout uses the comma separated value (CSV) format and is mapped to the sales report file received. The file contains eight fields to map the sales report data received and rest of the information to create a sales report is retrieved from the corresponding lease.

This table contains sample data that the sales report file should contain. You cannot change the order of fields and the values must be separated by commas.

Effects of Lease Amendments on Sales Reporting

When you change a percent rent term setup because of a lease amendment, these changes are reflected during the update of a pending sales report. The changes result in an adjustment to the sales report. The recalculation is done automatically. The following occurs when you create a lease amendment:

  • If you want to add a category, do so when updating a pending or adjusting sales report.

  • If you delete a category, the category becomes display-only to prevent changes.

    If the amendment is done for a sales revision, the amendment creates only a negative amount for the deleted category.

  • The amendment to the minimum fee or maximum fee and sales adjustment factor impacts the total rent.
