The Jeeves Localization solution is divided into three parts: translations, local functionality, and rollout services.

Translations

Jeeves ERP v5 is translated into 9 languages ​​(English, German, French, Danish, Dutch, Chinese, Finnish, Polish and Norwegian)—and another 5 languages ​​for older versions. The translations include translation of program names, messages, menus, roles and field names. Online documentation is available in English and Swedish.

Local Functionality

Local functionality meets both the legal and local requirements of a specific country. A legal requirement must be specified by the government or an accounting firm. A local requirement supports well-established practices of a country, market or branch.

Rollout Services

Our localization solutions are typically augmented by rollout services. The functionality and translations available in the system provide a common model, or framework, for the new geography. In other words, the solution is independent of the your basic data set, such as tax codes, account tables, products, and accounts. Rollout services often refine the local functionality even further in order to comply with business processes that are unique to the company or location. For smaller companies, rollout services also can provide a more templated approach to a new company setup.

FEATURES: EUROPEAN UNION

PROFIT AND LOSS, BALANCE SHEET, AND TRIAL BALANCE

There are several ways to produce fiscal reports. In our own report generator, there are pre-built reports. In Version 5 and beyond, we have leveraged Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services to build a profit and loss statement, a balance sheet, and a trial balance report. The reporting services template can be easily modified to fit the different fiscal demands for different countries.

VAT REPORTING

The VAT reporting program collects VAT information in VAT boxes and allows for printed reports. Using the general ledger, your financial team can define the data, including VAT codes and types, that will be collected.

VAT MATRIX

The VAT matrix tool helps you decide what VAT code to set on the order row, where the goods are being shipped to and from.

VAT NOTIFICATIONS

If a customer within the EU is missing a VAT number, a warning message can be displayed stating that the order is free of VAT. You may also stop the delivery of the order unless a valid EU VAT number or amount is added to the order.

VAT TEXTS

If goods or services are sold exempt of VAT, the VAT texts program requires a legal reference on the invoice.

THIRD PARTY TRADE

Jeeves ERP tracks third party trade shipments so that they can be shown on both VAT reports and EC sales lists.

INTRASTAT

The intrastat is a report showing all shipments (once the order has been invoiced) within the European Union.

EC SALES LIST

The EC sales list is a report showing all invoices exempt of VAT to other member states, divided into goods, services and third party trades.

VAT REGISTRATION

It is increasingly common for companies to register for VAT in other member states. This is possible with the Jeeves model for tax reporting units, where each unit will create a tax report, Intrastat and EC sales list.

STANDARD AUDIT FILES

Standard audit files can be created for France (FEC), Germany (Gdpdu), and Poland (JPK). Audit files for Norway will be available in January 2017.

SINGLE EURO PAYMENTS AREA (SEPA)

The Jeeves localization solution supports SEPA payments in XML format according to the ISO20022 standard (Credit transfer pain001). SEPA Direct Debit is also supported.

OTHER PAYMENT STANDARDS

The Jeeves localization solution can report completed customer and supplier payments according camt054 and bank statements camt053. Other formats include BAC’s for the UK and bank statements according to MT940. For other formats, the Jeeves services team is available to assist.

SALES TAX HANDLING

Jeeves is compatible with the sales tax handling both in the United States and Canada. The system is integrated with the Avatax app to retrieve the correct sales tax rate.

CHECK HANDLING

The Jeeves localization solution allows users to print out checks for supplier payments, as well as keep track of customer payments until a check is cleared by the bank. All checks can be viewed in the check ledger program, where you can view information about checks (such as status or connected invoices and postings), or even cancel checks and reverse all the associated transactions. Users can decide if they want to book uncollected checks on an interim account, or wait until it is cleared before booking it to the check account.

MISCELLANEOUS CHECKS

Users can print checks for miscellaneous payments and post them to the general ledger. All outgoing payments by check are handled in accounts payable (or, for payments of credit notes, accounts receivable).

REPRINTING CHECKS

You can reprint (print copy) of checks with same check number. This functionality can be used in case of a printer failure or if the check paper is destroyed.

1099 REPORTING

Companies working with subcontractors or external consultants are required to send in the 1099-MISC form if they are paid more than the threshold amount. A report may be printed from the supplier program, showing the paid amount for all suppliers that has exceeded the threshold amount.

TIME ZONE MANAGEMENT

The Jeeves localization solution includes extended functionality for time zone management. You can set up time zones for companies in the database, as well as for users, in a different time zone from the database server. As a result, you can view the local date, time, and location for each transaction, as opposed to the database server's clock.

ADRESS FORMATS

Postal address formats differ from country to country. The Jeeves localization solution allows you to define the postal address format for each country. All printed documents will format the address accordingly.

AM/PM

You can add "tt" to time formats, for example hh:mm tt to display AM/PM in time fields.

WEEK FORMATS

You can use dash (-), slash (/) or dot (.) as delimeters in week formats.

DATETIME FORMAT

AUTOMATIC CLEARING HOUSE (ACH)

ACH is an electronic network for financial transactions in the United States. ACH processes large volumes of credit and debit transactions in batches. ACH credit transfers include direct deposit payroll and vendor payments. Using the supplier payment program in Jeeves, an ACH file can be created.

MEDICAL DEVICE EXCISE TAX

Functionality has been introduced in order to handle excise tax where applicable, such as on the sale of certain medical devices.

HALF YEAR, STRAIGHT LINE DEPRECIATIONS

The Jeeves localization solution supports the half year, straight line depreciation method. This approach requires that, regardless of which month of the year you begin using the property, you must treat it as if you began using it in the middle of the year. Only half of the full-year depreciation is allowed in the first year, with the remaining balance being deducted in the final year of the depreciation schedule, or the year that the property is sold.
