Committed Value
The value (excluding VAT/ GST) that a Order or subcontract is to be let for. It is equal to the total of the committed value of the order & any amendments. It is what you are expected to pay or if it is an Income Order, it is the total of what we expect to receive. -
Company - In Muli the first character of the project represents the company, Each Company is a seperate legal entity, with its own set of general ledger accounts.
-
Company Name - The Full legal Name of the company (or Individual)

Complementary Project
When a contract is based on Do & Charge or Construction Management basis, then to effectively manage the majority of these types of contracts within Muli, TWO (2) projects need to be established.
The first project is the real Client project which will receive income and pay all subcontractor and suppliers under the “COST” part of the contract. Invariably these contracts involve the Builder providing some services for a given amount with labour or equipment to be charged at agreed rates. In other cases, agreed preliminaries are an agreed Lump Sum with Risk transferred to the builder.
This requires the builder to invoice the client project each period for agreed services provided in the period and likewise pay for services and labour at cost, along with claiming the management fees due under the contract.
Thus the client project will break even, Income = Expense.
The complementary project will have no allocation 1000 income and the difference between (Margin & Recovered Costs) (–) complementary project expenses = project contribution from both the jobs
Obviously the main project is fully auditable by the client or his representative while the complementary project will isolate the builder's income position.

Consequence - The outcome of an event expressed qualitatively or quantitatively, being a loss, injury, disadvantage or gain. There may be a range of possible outcomes associated with an event.
-
Consequences & Likelihood - Wherever possible, the confidence placed on estimates of levels of risk should be included.

Core Interface is the concept of enabling a payroll ( or equipment ) charge out to complete the General Ledger transaction associated with a payrun. Normally the Labour Order is entered directly into the timesheet for project costs, however with Overheads the Labour Orders change every year so we set up 'a Core Interface' that creates the Labour Orders in the General Ledger where the balancing journals are to be posted ie super payments, payee cash, provision for long service leave etc. Therefore the Core Interface is the set of Labour Orders for that financial year. The Core Interface creation process streamlines the annual setup of the Labour Orders required for a payrun to complete all the transactions required for a balanced payrun. Payroll, itself, does not pay anyone. It simply debits projects and credits various payment accounts in the General Ledger.
-
Cost Of activities - Both direct and indirect, involving any negative impact, including money, time, labour, disruption, good will, political and intangible losses.
-
Cost Plus (Contract) - Where the end value of the contract is based on actual cost rather than a fixed contract value (may also include a fixed or variable overhead or variable cost).
Cost Based contracts are used in Construction Management. Most of the projects have a fixed price component i.e. management fees, fixed preliminaries, even use of builders equipment at agreed rates or agreed costs + an agreed administration charge and profit margin. So all costs allocated to the cost based project are subject to verification by the client. Cost based projects make no profit contribution in their own right, project contribution emerges through the Complimentary project.

Country Code 222 - In relation to telephones relates to the prefix in the dialing code to call the phone number from another country ie Sydney 612 Melbourne 613.
-
Creditors - See "Accounts Payable" Name not used in system.
-
Credit Adjustment Amount (AP) - Excludes GST which is added on at the applicable rate. This field first occurs in the Unapproved Invoice approval process. If an approver believes they have been over-invoiced by a supplier, then the value that has been over-invoiced is called the Credit Adjustment Value. This value is also displayed in Invoice Entry and is processed as a -ve approval, thus only authorising the net value for payment.
-
Credit Order - The "C" type order used within the system to monitor Accounts Receivable transactions if located in Allocation 1000 then considered a component of Project Income - anywhere else, an offset of cost.
-
Currency (223)
Muli operates in a Local currancy (in Australia $Aus) and provide a option to complete accounts payable and receivable transactions in other currencies. -
Currency Management
With Version N Muli introduced the ability to process multiple currencies. When a system is set up, Bank Z is established as a default bank used for all inter-company transactions and journals. The currency applied to Bank Z is considered the system-wide currency used for ALL company accounting and general ledger reports. Individual orders may be raised nominating a different currency, ie Euro (provided the currency has been authorised using a nominated bank account in that currency), then the committed value on the order is expressed in the nominated currency. The issue with foreign currency is what factor is applicable to calculate a future transactions, noting payables & receivables may use differing conversion values. We really only know the real impact when the payment is finally converted back to local currency.
Muli maintains a Fx file containing:-
- Currency
- Transaction type auto from real accounting transactions or manual record
- Date
- Time
- Payable factor
- Receivable factor
- Payable value (only if real transactions)
- Receivable value (only if real transactions)
But still guessing game. Exchange Rates can vary extensively over time. As part of the Trial Balance preparation where foreign currencies are in use, settlement factors will need to be confirmed and emerging gains or losses on foreign currency account factored into the general led - Fx (A-Z) provided in Balance Sheet Fx (A-Z) provision in Profit & Loss.
When an order is raised with a given exchange rate provision, a Risk2Do item is created as soon as an exchange rate variation actually occurs or expected variance value on settlement exceeds $100. The Risk2Do for exchange rate is verified each time a cost report is created. (Should the reviewer change the rates, then it is recorded in the tranlog.
