Reconciliation of periodical allocations

Reconciliation:

  • Update periodical allocations in Accounting: Update periodical allocations. Match allocations in Accounting: Reports/Reconciliation of periodical allocations by selecting future allocations that are booked until the last date in the selected period, e.g. 0619-9999 and Book date 000000-310519. Check the box in Print updated. The amount on the list will be matched with the account for automatic periodical allocations. You can see the account's balance in Accounting: Queries

If discrepancy occurs:

  • Print out the report Reconciliation of periodical allocations without selecting period or accounting date. Deselect "Print updated", thus you will see all allocations that haven't been updated in earlier periods.
  • Check in Accounting: Reports/Account specification if there has been any bookings without assignment code.

VAT reconciliation

Marathon separates taxable revenue, tax free revenue and export within EU and outside EU.The system uses subaccounts for separating revenues.

XXXX01 – taxable within the country

XXXX02 – tax free within the country

XXXX03 – outside of the EU

XXXX04 – within the EU

It is important to stick to the structure above, to avoid discrepancies. If you for example book an amount on account 3010 without sub account, Marathon will not understand that it is taxable revenue.

The VAT declaration in Accounting: Reports provides that Vat is booked away every month to a reconciliation account.

Reconciliation

  • Carefully check your VAT declaration!

If discrepancy occurs:

  • Make sure that the VAT for the previous month is posted away. Some transactions can have occurred since the declaration was made, which leads to higher VAT amount for the month.
  • Print out the list in 01-90-02 and select on the period that you wish to reconcile. Marathon shows here all posts with “wrong” outgoing VAT posted.
  • Check the VAT account in Accounting: Reports/Account specification for selected period

so that no manually made re-postings have been done (except the re-posting of VAT).

Reconciliation of Sales Ledger

Reconciliation:

  • Print balance list in Accounting: Reports/Sales ledger per reconciliation date. Check the total amount and match with accounts receivable.

If discrepancy occurs:

  • Print list in Reconciliation GL in Accounting: Reports /Sales ledger to see the date of the discrepancy.
  • Print the list again and select only the date of the discrepancy, deselect ”Summary only”.
  • Check the date for discrepancy in Accounting: Reports/Account specification and ensure that no bookings have been made without assignment code. See column Type.
  • Finish with checking all invoices in the sales ledger with the invoice amounts in the bookkeeping.

Reconciliation of Purchase Ledger

Reconciliation:

  • Print balance list in Accounting: Reports/Purchase ledger per reconciliation date. Match the total amount with the balance in account payable.

If discrepancy occurs:

  • Print list Reconciliation GL in Accounting: Reports/Purchase ledger to see the date of the discrepancy.
  • Print the list again and select only the date of the discrepancy, deselect ”Summary only”.

Reconciliation of pre-invoiced

Reconciliation

  • Print WIP list in periods in Projects: Reports per reconciliation date and compare with the account in the bookkeeping Don’t forget to summarize all sub accounts (242001, 242002 etc.)

If discrepancy occurs:

  • Check postings on the account for pre-invoice in Accounting: Reports/ Account specification and make sure that no manual re-postings have been made during the period

Reconciliation of WIP account for purchases

Purchases in Marathon can either be expensed directly when entering invoices, or they can be posted on a WIP account and expensed at the time of printing an invoice to client. To avoid discrepancies between the WIP account and the WIP in the Project accounting, no manual bookings shall be entered on the WIP account and no purchases shall be entered directly to the project accounting.

Reconciliation:

  • Ensure that all purchases are updated for the period in Projects: Registration, Correction and updating
  • Match Closing balance for previous year with Opening balance for current year.
  • Print WIP list in periods in Projects: Reports 3 and select the reconciliation period and match purchase price on purchases with the balance on the WIP account in Accounting: Reports Account specification. Select all project types and check the box Totals only.

If discrepancy occurs

  • Check that all purchase codes have cost accounts
in System: Base register/Pro/Cost codes → Purchases.
  • Check the vouchers on the WIP account in Accounting: Reports/Account statement so that no manual bookings have been made during the period.
  • If an invoice is credited after booking to WIP account, the cost must be reposted manually.

Reconciliation invoiced

  • Print report Reconciliation PRO/MED in Accounting: Reports, tab Accounting for the period. If there is discrepancy, open the row and check the invoices. The discrepancy almost always occurs because the invoice has been manually corrected in Accounting: Vouchers
  • Or:
  • Compare invoiced sales price in the project accounting (use suitable report) with those revenue accounts that are used at invoicing. You can see the accounts on the cost codes in System: Base registers/Pro/Cost codes.
