JVA recovery indicators (RI) are assigned to posting lines. The particular recovery indicator assigned to a posting line determines whether the expense is billable to partners.

The JVA process Cutback uses billable recovery indicators to select those expenses that will be assigned to partners based on their equity shares in ventures.

When recovery indicators have been defined for the JVA company in this step of configuration, they can be specified at the following levels of postings:

  • Document type
  • Account
  • Cost object
  • Manual override during posting
  • JVA integration manager

Settings listed later in this list take precedence over those provided by items listed earlier. That is, a recovery indicator entered manually during posting will override the recovery indicator provided by the cost object.

If a recovery indicator is not provided by any of the preceding sources, the JVA intergration manager will determine the recovery indicator for the posting line based on a set of rules that reflect choices made during company configuration. If the integration manager cannot derive joint venture and equity group designations, the expense will be assigned to the corporate venture and equity group defined on the Corporate Data screen for the JVA company.

Example

Requirements

Standard settings

Normally, JVA companies define a recovery indicator for each of the following conditions that affect whether an expense is billable to partners:

  • Billable expense
  • Billable adjustment
  • Non-billable expense
  • Suspense expense
  • Suspense adjustment
  • Posting to partner resulting from Cutback processing
  • Non-billable expense funded by the JVA company (Corporate RI)

Corporate Recovery Indicators

If the JVA integration manager cannot identify venture information for a document line, it will assign the corporate recovery indicator to the line. The corporate recovery indicator must be specified on the JVA company's corporate data screen in JVA configuration (See Corporate Data). The Billable indicator cannot be selected for the corporate recovery indicator.

The corporate recovery indicator is also usually assigned to bank lines.

Second Corporate Recovery Indicator

If an international region company uses venture bank accounts and the original recovery indicator of a bank line indicates that the expenditure should be funded by a venture specific funding group, however, then the second recovery indicator specified on the JVA company's Corporate Data screen will be assigned to the expenditure.

Recommendation

Activities

In defining a recovery indicator, you should fill in the following fields when appropriate:

In the RI field, enter the code for the recovery indicator.

In the Billable field, enter an indicator if the recovery indicator being defined will be assigned to expenses that are billable to JVA partners.

In the Susp.RI field, enter the code for the recovery indicator that will be assigned to expenses carrying the recovery indicatory being defined if the partner or equity group is placed in suspense.

In the Corp.pay field, enter an indicator if the recovery indicator being defined will be assigned to expenses that should be funded entirely by the company being configured in JVA.

This indicator is relevant for international region companies. If this indicator is set on, the bank account switching program will not reassign the expenses posted with the recovery indicator being defined from the corporate to a venture specific funding group.

Further notes

If international region companies define a corporate recovery indicator with the corporate pay indicator set on, it may be necessary to create a second corporate recovery indicator with corporate pay not selected. Entries with this second corporate recovery indicator will be processed by bank account switching.
