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 Understanding Subcontract Purchase Order Entry and Modification for SPC.

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.
