  • 1.  Entry of telecom bills process

    Posted 02/10/23 03:53 PM

    Does anyone out there that uses Maximo for PR/PO/Invoices also have a process for telecom bills?  Our telecom bills are pages long with multiple locations each possibly having a different tax district.  Our average is 26 locations on one bill.  We also have situations where there is one account with multiple sub-accounts.  As you can see this is a nightmare to enter in a PR in Maximo, it doesn't help that they are different amounts every month.

    I am looking for a process someone uses and/or suggestions as to a less labor intensive way of doing the PRs.

     

    Thank You,

    Nancy Wood, Maximo IT Mgr

    Hi Nancy, Only use Invoice, no PR, PO or Receipt. The invoice lines are against a Service Item and can reference different locations and GL Account and you can use Distribute Costs to spread the amount across multiple GLs. When you approve the invoice SERVRECTRANS records will be created.

    This technique is used for any service where the amount is unknown until you receive the bill and can be used for external services with the right controls placed on the invoice application. Even if you do invoicing in another system it does not mean that the Invoice application can't be used.

    Hope that helps -Andrew
