 Statement: periodic summary of expat expenses 

4 Handling Statements

Statements are send every month to ptp.corp@solvay.com mailbox by BGRS (emeabilling@bgrs.com).

Each statement is addressed to a different company code from all over the world and refers to an invoice of an expatriate.

They are two types of statements:

  • Fees

  • Disbursements

4.1 - Fees

Only one per month.

These are booked in PF1 system on company code 0001-  Solvay S.A.

Create a new cockpit with supplier 2824127 - BGRS GLOBAL UK LIMITED, LONDON and use purchase order 4512926318 (payment terms is calculated based on Purchase order).

The purchase order does not need Good Receipt, but in case of a new one or any other issue contact internationalmobility.hr@solvay.com 

4.1.1 - Interco statements

When the fees are book and paid we need to fill an interco document and send to Interco team. 

Go to tab detail of the fees invoice and filter the column "GBU Function". Select only the blank one.

 

Send that extraction of blank GBU's to International mobility mail box. In order to do this procedure this column has to be filled.

When everything is filled create a pivot table

 

Select all data 

And choose GBU function for the row label and the total expense amount for the values area.

You will have a board like the one below:

Check if the amount is the same has the total amount of your fees invoice.

Send the file to internationalmobility.hr@solvay.com and interco-sbs-rtr@solvay.com (this email should start with the BFC code, in this case 00001_BGRS Fees_"Month"

4.2 - Disbursements

Scope:  PF1, WP1 and Non-ERP System.

These documents need to be booked in posting file using the macro created to this process.

Most of the statements come with errors, the common one's are:

  • missing cost center
  • wrong cost center

Open the excel that has the macro and the statement with the disbursement.

Click first in the button "Clear" and than "BGRS". 

This will create a new document, a posting file, already filled with all the information that is in the statement.


Verify the statement for errors and upload the file in  transaction ZZF_POSTING_FILE_AP and run (F8)

When the statement is book, do not forget to unblock for payment and attached the statement and the posting file. Also check if payment terms are correct (Y025).

4.2.1- Non ERP system

The statement of this companies cannot be book by you, since you don't have access to their system.
So in case of non-ERP statements, send them to the responsible person that you can find on the Google Drive.
If  the contact is not in the file, please send an email to the CAM ( see in GAR file) of the company and update the file

In case of BAAN system send the statement directly to SBS RIGA 
AP Invoices <APinvoicesNA@solvay.com>,
Apinquiries Na <apinquiriesna@solvay.com>


5 Common issues 

Be careful, BGRS base their statements on the website profile create for the expatriate.

So if the the statement has an errors, inform the supplier in order to receive the future statements correctly.

5.2.2.1 - Wrong/missing cost center

When this happens do the following:

  • check the Activity Report, that is send every month by HTR to BGRS with the cost centers of the expatriates  
  • if it is not in the activity report, go to PP2 system on profile 9710 and 27 on transaction PA20
  • in case of urgency contact HTR Team (International Mobility Specialist) and request help

5.2.2.2 - GL not open

If the GL is not open with a company code, request to RTR GL team to link them - RtR-DMR_Data_Management@solvay.com

5.2.2.3-  Payments APAC

When booking APAC companies check if they don't stay with block U for a long period of time.

If they are not unblock on time for the payment,  contact the team leader of Accounts Payable team from SBS Bangkok.

5.2.2.4-  China statements

China companies are out of the contract. Every statement issued by BGRS to a entity from China should be rejected.

5.2.2.5 - Tax code 

For now the statements are booked with no tax code even if the statement mentioned one.

Some GL's request tax code in order to be booked, for this situation contact RtR - VAT & Indirect Tax Team Leader.

5.2.2.6 - Document type

In WP1 the macro applies document type ST.

In PF1 the macro applies document type S6, however for some entities the documents are not assigned for payment with this document type, in this case use R1.
