You may see a Credit Warning appear but it will not stop you raising an invoice. The figure shown

Should you have any concerns about the credit limit or the outstanding debt of a customer please contact
creditcontrol@reading.ac.uk. Any unpaid invoices will be recorded as an outstanding debt against the schools/services financial
accounts.

If the customer has subsequently ceased to trade or goes into liquidation, credit control will manage the debt.

The sales order will now enter a workflow (see page 2, SOP Flowchart) where various validation checks will be carried out
including the tax code used. If there are any issues with the sales order, you will be notified via workflow so that you may
amend, update or cancel the order. You will receive an email notifying that there is a task awaiting your attention in Agresso Self
Service.

If all is fine, you will receive an email with a copy invoice attached as will the person on whose behalf you have raised the invoice
if you added another member of staff’s name at the order entry stage. A pdf version of the invoice will be emailed to the
customer where an email exists. If one does not exist, a paper copy will be posted by the credit control team.

Page | 16
6. How to raise a Credit Note
Reasons for Raising a Credit Note

Credit Notes are issued to amend or entirely cancel the income and debt. Reasons for raising a credit note include:

 The details on the invoice are incorrect and the invoice needs to be cancelled and redrawn. For example, the standard
data (customer name and address) was selected in error, VAT is incorrect or, errors in the valuation of the goods or
services.
 The goods or services were never actually provided, therefore the sales invoice should never have been raised.

Removing a Sales Invoice other than the 2 reasons given above, must go through the write-off procedure where the University is
deciding either not to or is failing to collect a legally due debt. Such waivers must be approved through the correct workflow
route (see page 2, SOP Flowchart).

A credit note can be issued by creating a negative sales order.

If raising a credit note against a sales invoice, you may copy the original order or use it as a template so that you have the
original data entered already populated.

The changes you need to make are as follows:

 Invoice description - include ‘Credit Note for Invoice XXXXXX’ to reference the invoice against which the credit note is
being issued.

 Additional product information, Product text -include ‘Credit Note for Invoice XXXXXX’ to reference the invoice
against which the credit note is being issued.

 Workflow log - include ‘Credit Note for Invoice XXXXXX’ to reference the invoice against which the credit note is being
issued. If you wish to provide additional information to the approvers without it appearing on the final document they
can be entered here. The more explanation you provide at this stage the more likely the credit note will be approved
and despatched quickly.

 Price - include (-) negative sign in the price field.

On saving the Credit Note order, it will enter the workflow where the automated approval process is different. The credit order
will be work flowed via Credit Control, VAT Team, then to your Head of School or Service for approval. Additional approval will
be required by the Head of Transactional Services (HoTS) if the value is equal to or greater than £250 before the credit note is
sent to your customer (see Page 2, SOP Flowchart).

Page | 17
7. Rejected Sales Orders, Viewing Documents, Clearing Internet History (Cache)
Rejected Sales Orders
On creating and saving a sales order several validation checks are carried out.

If there are errors on the order, it will be rejected and you will receive a ‘task’ to
review the error in Agresso Self Service.

Open the task to open the sales order. You will see a warning sign adjacent to the
product line entry. Double click to reveal the message in the workflow log showing
details of what needs to be corrected.

Make the changes required and save.

Page | 18
8. How to Check the Status of your Invoice (Workflow)
You are able to check the status of your sales order by accessing a number of reports available.

You can see if an invoice number has been assigned or look at the workflow in more detail to find out what is happening to your
order by choosing the ‘Links to Reports’ column (the very last column to the right hand side of the report – you may need to
scroll across the screen to see this column). The following statuses apply:

N = Not Invoiced

F = Finished (Invoiced).

 Log into Agresso Self Service. Select Reports>Sales Order & Customer Enquiries

 Select report RSO01 – Sales Order & Credit Note Enquiries.

 Enter the sales order number in the field Sales Order Number like, click Search .

This will return each line entry for your sales order. Scroll to the very end of the result to reveal the last column called Links
to reports. In Select Link, click on the drop down.

Page | 19
 Select Sales order Workflow Enquiry. This will show those lines where the workflow is in progress.

 Click on Workflow in Progress to show you the workflow of your sales order/credit note. This will create a Map window
displaying the workflow and a log book tab.

You may hover around each item within the workflow for more detail.

Understanding the Workflow

Anything highlighted in green with a green border such as this means that stage of the workflow is complete. Any
yellow highlighted broken line boxes along the same level is for the same validation check, it represents the various members of
staff who can carry out that particular check. Otherwise, a yellow highlighted box represents the stage the workflow has
reached. In the example below, there are 3 members of staff who may carry out the validation check. It is the named person in
the green highlighted box who has carried out the validation check and it will have moved onto the next stage of the workflow.

Page | 20
Anything highlighted in red indicates that there is a problem with a sales order/credit note where either the validation check has
identified an error (for example, the VAT is incorrect) or the approver has rejected it (for example, if they require more
information especially relating to a credit note). This will result in a task being generated in the originator’s task bar in Agresso
Self Service giving the reason for rejection and what needs to be addressed to correct it.

To establish where your sales order/credit note is in the work flow at any given point in time, look for the next highlighted
yellow box following a green highlighted box. Hovering your cursor over these boxes will show the name of the person and the
status as ‘active’.

Once the sales order/credit note has completed the workflow and the Sales Invoice/Credit Note has been generated and
forwarded to the customer, the status of the order will change from ‘N’ (Not Invoiced) to ‘F’ (Finished/Invoiced).

Log Book Tab

The log book displays a list of names beginning with the creator of the Sales Order, followed by all approvers to the stage it has
reached in the workflow.

9. How to check if the Sales Invoice has been paid
You are able to check if your Sales Invoice has been paid via Agresso Front Office by accessing the following report;

 Reports>Sales Orders & Customer


Enquiries>Customer Account Enquiry Open &/or
Historical.

 Enter any of the selection criteria, the more you can enter the narrower the search will be.
 Ensure B- open items & C – Historical items are both ticked. Click Search.

 Enter the sales invoice number in the blank field


under InvoiceNo column. Click Search.

If the invoice has been paid, you will see 3 lines (Including the sum line ).
The line where the “Due date” is blank but the “Inv.date” is populated, represents the payment received from the customer. The
“Original Currency amount” will appear in red as a negative/credit value and the date in the “Inv.date” column is the date the
sales invoice was settled.

If there is a shortfall in the funds received then this amount will appear in either the “O/S Currency or GBP amount”. If the
invoice remains unpaid you will see line 2 & the sum line only.

be clicked to reveal the data stored under that column heading. For example,

 Report RSO01, Sales Order & Credit Note Enquiries, clicking on the invoice number will provide you with an image of
the sales invoice which can be downloaded.
 Customer account enquiry – Open/Historical, allows you to enquire on sales invoices raised by customer and shows the
transaction (including the transaction number) of the funds received.

Most of these reports will have the “Links to Reports” column (at the very end of the report to the right hand side) which allows
you access to the workflow.
