The Accounting Module supports invoice checking, posting generation for the A/P system, and accrual calculation.
There are two different ways for registering invoices. Electronic invoices (EDI/AVNET, IATA XML) are uploaded, paper invoices are captured manually. So there are several FuelPlus dialogs which support you in entering the details of a paper invoice.
FuelPlus automatically checks all invoices related to into plane deliveries against actual flights, fuel messages, and contract data. It automatically checks self-supply deliveries against expected costs.
Verification of electronic invoices includes checking each price component to ensure that only agreed duties, fees, and taxes are charged. FuelPlus can define tolerances for every issue and for correct tax/VAT costs.
Accountants can accept or reject each invoice line in question. Rejected invoice lines are deducted from the total invoice amount, so that only accepted deliveries are paid.
After the invoice verification process is completed, postings are generated which are based on the predefined accounting rules. Postings are transmitted to the accounting system for further processing. The system provides an invoicing advice report to support sales to third parties.

Support Accounting System
- Create accounting document for accounting system: The user can release the completely checked invoice, modify the data of the accounting document if necessary, and finally finish the invoice. The system generates an accounting document for the accounting system.

- Load feedback file on accounting document: The system loads a data file containing acknowledge data generated by the accounting system regarding receipts of accounting documents and payment of invoices.
- Export accruals for material management: The system generates a data file containing the calculated accruals for actual flight events of one month.
- Export accounting document for material management: The system generates a data file containing all accepted items of completely checked invoices.
- Export XML invoice: The system generates a data file containing invoices in the IATA XML invoice format using invoices registered in the system.
Calculate Accruals
- Report Into plane (IPL) accrual summary: The user can retrieve the accrual summary for IPL items for a location and a range of months.
- Report Non-IPL accrual summary: The user can retrieve the accrual summary for Non-IPL items for a location and a range of months.
- Report Into plane (IPL) accrual details: The user can retrieve the IPL accruals for actual flights by contract type.
- Report Non-IPL accrual details: The user can retrieve the accruals for Non-IPL events by contract type.
- Close open positions: The user can close accruals related to invoice items by accepting either the invoiced costs and quantities or the calculated costs and quantities.
Prepare Accounting Report
- Generate invoice quality profile report: The user can retrieve the quality profile of an invoice containing the number of discrepancies per category event, quality, price/costs, and VAT at different invoice checking stages.
- Generate end-of-month report: The user can generate a report containing the accruals of one month.
Further Use Cases
