Corporate Cards: To Configure a Corporate Card

This activity will walk you through the process of creating the necessary entities for processing of expense receipts with corporate credit cards.

Story

Suppose that Jon Waite and Alberto Jimenez—employees of the SweetLife Fruits & Jams company—can use a corporate credit card for charging their business expenses. Acting as an implementation manager of SweetLife, you need to create an account, payment method, and cash account for company corporate cards, as well as to create the corporate card itself in the system.

Configuration Overview

In the U100 dataset, the following tasks have been performed for the purposes of this activity:

• The Expense Management feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.
• On the Entry Types (CA203000) form, the BANKFEE entry type has been added.
• On the Employees (EP203000) form, the accounts for Jon Waite and Alberto Jimenez have been created.

Process Overview

To create a corporate card, you will first create a GL account on the Chart of Accounts (GL202500) form. You will create a payment method for the card on the Payment Methods (CA204000) form. You will specify the GL account and payment method for a cash account, which you will create on the Cash Accounts (CA202000) form. Finally, you will create a corporate credit card on the Corporate Cards (CA202500) form.

System Preparation

To prepare to perform the instructions of the activity, launch the MYOB Acumatica website, and sign in to a company with the U100 dataset preloaded as an implementation manager by using the gibbs username and the 123 password.

Step 1: Creating a GL Account for a Corporate Card

Create a GL account as follows:

1. Open the Chart of Accounts (GL202500) form, and on the form toolbar, click Add Row.

   • Account: 29000
   • Account Class: OTHCURLIAB
   • Type: Liability
   • Description: Corporate Credit Card
   • Post Option: Detail
3. Save your changes.

     Remittance information is not required by this payment method for the related cash accounts.

4. On the Settings for Use in AP tab, clear the Require Unique Payment Ref. check box in the Payment Settings section so that a unique payment reference number is not required for each payment document created with this payment method.
