Invoice Number on CIS Statement

SUGGESTED

My subcontractors have asked me if they can have a list of invoice numbers, included in the CIS return, being added to the CIS statement.

I am thinking that an automated solution, for this, might not be possible since the CIS Return data (CIS_RETURN and CIS_RETURNED_TRANSACTION goes no lower that the transaction id level).

Has anyone else had this request and been able to automate a resolution?

Many Thanks

Neil

    Hi Neil, I have created a report that helps them reconcile what has been paid. I use the Suppliers / Day Books / Day Books: Paid Invoices (Summary) report as the base and have adapted it to calculate the CIS deduction which is OK for the supplier that has asked for it. If you have a number of suppliers asking for it all on different deduction rates this may become more complex but they may just be happy to have the standard report. However, what you are asking for would be nice to see formally in the CIS section.

    Thanks Paula. That would work as an extra report. It is not unusual for me to "fudge" existing reports to cater for CIS which Sage does not, yet, do well. Each week I generate a supplier totals, only, version of the Invoices by Due Date report to facilitate FD sign off for the payment run. I had to "fudge" this to calculate CIS deductions. With CIS Statements, my issue is that the subcontractors became accustomed to a line listing invoices on the statement that the accountants used to produce manually. When we moved to the Sage CIS module we lost this. I have adapted the CIS statement to have a line for this, immediately after the month ending date line, picking up the top line manually entered on the communications list in supplier maintenance. I now seek the holy grail of automatic population of this line based on activity! :-)

    Hi Adam,
    Nothing too fancy. I am just looking to extend the, standard, CISMONTHLYSTATEMENT report to have an extra line showing Invoice numbers. My "work in progress" version has a middle section :-

    Construction Industry Scheme
    Statement of payment and deduction for month ending: 05/12/2017
    Invoice Numbers: 1234, 1235, 1236

    Does that make sense?

    ManyThanks

    Neil

    I have now been able to produce batch CIS statements to pdf, for a period, using an excel spreadsheet connected over ODBC to Sage 50. Visually the Statements look like the standard Statements but I now have an extra line showing the included subcontractor invoices.
