Covers this one module - Profit Sharing Module.

Business Requirements 1

Intro

This is as received from Module Owner.

General Requirements

A “Gross Margin split” is to be implemented between all offices in 2012.

For 2012, the Gross Margin split will follow the suggested rules listed below.

Please keep in mind, every client will be assigned an single “Owner Office”. This office is responsible for selling to and maintaining the relationship with the client and will receive benefits from the related sales through the Gross Margin split.

It is expected that CyberTrax will automatically generate the needed internal invoices which will distribute the Gross Margin to the correct office.

Files will automatically be closed down daily with set dates, after the actual date of departure, according to the mode of shipment as outlined in the table below:

However, functionality will also be provided so CT records can be closed down manually ahead of the ‘automated closing date’ and this is strongly encouraged.

Files can be opened after their system close date for changes by and approved group of users (management or super users), but it is expected this will be the exception.

If a file is “re-opened” after “closing”, it will need to be “closed” again – at which point a recalculation of the GM Margin Split will need to be processed again.

Ability to report on II’s issued automatically will be required, average time it takes for files to be closed, how many files are “re-opened” after closing etc.

Systems Requirements

Admin Section

1. Client Company to JFS Office link “Owner Office”

2. GM Split Models and Percentages table

3. Automated File Closing table (mode, days)

4. Manual file “lock” and “unlock” subject to user type access rights

Accounting Section

1. Ability to view / search automated invoices (report to see II’s only? Multiple lines on reports to see CT level details?

2. Scope requirements for a Gross Margin Split report (I believe we ALREADY HAVE a Gross Margin Split Report)

Automated Invoices

1. Generate automated “detail sheet” showing CT/Record transactional info

Ideally One Invoice between two offices, per day. Attached to that invoice is a ‘detailed report’ for what CT’s are included in the report.

Ops

1. Manual “lock file” feature, “unlock file” feature for selected users

2. Show II in P&L

KPI type reporting

Could we include a KPI type reporting in the Admin Tables?

For example:

  • Average time to lock files (per mode, office, team, client) with trending information
  • Average files ‘unlocked’ after ‘locked’ – weekly (per mode, office, team, client) w/trending

The idea is to keep KPI’s where they belong rather than clustering them (where they are not “critical”)

Calculation Models: Definitions

OO = Owner Office (Link/Table to be created)

EO = Export Office (identified by “export reference number”)

IO = Import Office (identified by “import reference number”

TO = Third party office (identified by “third party reference number”)

There is a Minimum of 1 “reference number” in a record, with a Maximum of 3 “reference numbers” in Cybertrax.

Reference Numbers: Found on General Tab of CT record (A, B, C)

The OO almost always plays one of the other roles (EO, IO, TO).\

Reference numbers are being automated (Tira is the SA for this task)

Calculation Models: RULES

“Handled by OO” means the OO is either the EO or IO If the “OO” is the “Third Party Reference” the OO did not “handle” the shipment.

60/40 rule

If the shipment is handled between two offices and one is the OO;

60% going to the OO (IO, or EO) and

40% going to the other (non OO) office (IO, or EO)

No TO office under this rule

45/45/10 rule

If a shipment is handled by an OO and a sister office is noted as the import or export office on the record with a third office handling other details,

45% of GM to the OO (IO, or EO);

45% to the handling office listed on the record and (IO, or EO – non OO)

10% to the 3rd office involved (TO, non OO)

TO cannot be = to OO under this rule

20/40/40 rule

If a shipment is not handled by an OO and two other office are listed as the export and import offices,

20% of GM to the OO (TO)

40% to each handling office (IO and EO)

TO must be = to OO under this rule

20/80 rule

If a shipment is handled by only one office but is not owned by that office,

20% of GM is attributed to the OO

80% to the handling office (IO, EO)

No TO Office under this rule

Only 1 office on the record (cannot be the OO)\

100% rule

– If a shipment is handled and owned by only one office, the only office listed in the ‘ref’ numbers is also the OO

100% GM goes to the OO

Only 1 office on the record (must be the OO)

Closing dates

Files will automatically be closed down daily with set dates, after the actual date of departure, according to the mode of shipment as outlined in the table below:

Air - 35 days

FCL - 60 days

LCL - 70 days

Truck - 35 days

The above need to be editable by ‘management’ with a record of updates.

Files can be opened after their system close date for changes by and approved group of users, but it is expected this will be the exception.

If a file is “closed” and then “opened” again – it needs to be “closed” (manually -> Action required e-mail? Something else? How do we identify a file that was “opened” and not “closed” again??).

When a file is “closed again” the file needs to be included in the next automated “GM Margin” calculation and invoicing.

Questions: File “closing” -> What updates should be allowed? Comments, Internal Comments? What else?

All in one place

Marc: Can we have all related functionality in one place in the system - admin, reports, etc.

Add OO field to Client Company entity

Owners Office (OO) is a field that identify what Jaguar office is the OO for particular Client Company - see Client Companies.

Relationship is one to one.

Add this to "Part A." section on UI.

Identify and Display OO EO IO TO on Gen Tab

See mock up below.

File:Gen Tab with EO IO OO TO.JPG

Add GM Split section to Admin

Add number of configuration options - see below.

Add under Acc > GM Split.

Closing time frames

Represents pairs: MOT/Days.

Example:

Air - 35 days
FCL - 60 days
LCL - 70 days
Truck (all 3 sub-modes) - 35 days

Number of days is editable field.

Set default as 1000.

Add this to User Access table.

GM Split rules

See table below.

%-ages must be stored in the system.

Need a view of current %s.

User could edit %s.

New edit of the table should have associated time frame (from date to date) affecting GM Split re-calculations.

Add this as a property into User Access table

File:Prfit split cases.JPG

GM ratio

More than one "GM ratio" (“percentage model”) could be applicable - more than one table as in Fig above could be defined.

Each case should have a name (optional, need textbox for that) and id generated by the system.

We should have one default "GM ratio", and then a number of alternative "GM ratio" (same scenarios, just different percentages). By default a Client Company would be subject to the ‘default’ model.

It means that "GM ratio" is a new property for Client Company entity.

Limitations on pending GMS and closed file (CT)

List of check boxes that indicates what can not be done with "closed" file:

  • generate sales invoice/credit note
  • map PI invoice
  • edit any CT field
  • posting into Com
  • generating docs
  • upload files

Schedule for GM Split calculation

For example it would be possible to say that GM Split calculation will happen once a day at 17:00 EST

Credit to the office

Ability to post some credit from one office to another office.

This amount will be taken into account when calculating GM split.

Initially this list will be empty. Later someone could come and add lines similar to below:

Move 100,000.00 USD from NY to Paris office on February 15, 2012.

Table should have the following columns:

  • from office
  • to office
  • amount
  • currency

We should have a log of who posted and when.

Calculate and display GMS status

See mock up above.

GMS (Global Marging Split) Statuses:

  • open - regular shipment until it reached thresholds defined in #Closing time frames. This is based on "actual date of departure". After it reached this time frame it changes the status to "pending".
  • pending - until next GMS Scheduler runs
  • closed - after system runs Global Margin Split on this CT

Change GMS status manually

Add functionality to change GMS status manually.

Add this as a right into User Access table

Log for Admin Changes

Post all changes into Log.

Run GM Split and Generate Internal Invoices

System has to generate internal invoices between offices to re-distribute profit.

System would Run GM Split and Generate Internal Invoices periodically for example once a day.

Exact schedule would be defined here: #Schedule.

One invoice would cover many many CTs.

Algorithm for scheduled GM Split Run triggered by Scheduler

1) For every GMS status = "pending" re-calculate and update GM Split

2) set GMS status = "closed" for those CTs

3) create global internal interoffice invoices for above

Algorithm for scheduled GM Split Run triggered by change in GM Split table

See #GM Split rules .

Every time this table is changed system should recalculate GM Split all CTs subject to above time frame.
