MC  2017 - 007 - Decentralized/centralized ICR/AP processing


What:     To get back to former routine of decentralized  work, and reporting and using sharing of data.

When:     This September

Who:       Our accounting staff:    ICR  and CV making
               Documents

Objectives:

1.  To deliver work outputs on time
2.  To eliminate double handling, much time needed in processing, and resources for more staff OT etc.
3.  To reduce cost
4.  To fully utilize our SBU staff, and make them work hard

Background

In the beginning  we had the barest of staff at BPI.  The fact is all SBU are independent companies which are supposed to be self sufficient in staff for marketing and customer service, accounting (for record keeping ap, ICR and even general accounting) operations

The only centralized function were check making (for the authorized signature because we are based here) and document signing of CO DOS (for the same reason)

However, the procedure evolved that all of this are to be done, repeated at the third floor. And it is against the rules to change the procedure  (Slow corruption)



For instance:   

1.  CV making was initiated at the SBU;  they submit the schedule of AP for the week;    BPI prepares its own projection and budget;   ap. recommends the AP to be approved

2.  Documents  -   SBU prepares the documents (see Morong procedures) and  what Mam Elvie does is the role of 3ffb.

WTDN and please observe:

1.  Documents: and ICR ledgers

     1.  Documents, are finally made from dummy information so that they are typed clearly and all copies have information, especially the blue copy

     2.  The SBU encodes the documents making a form from excel, or use their portal and generates sales reports which it will use to be the transmittal to third floor done of daily basis or weekly

    3. The SBU generates its own masterlist (may be derived from sales report)
that contains a minimum of information:

       `1.  Date
        2.  Account number (taken from SBU code and PPA number with year suffix)
        3.  Name:  Surname,    First  Name   Middle name
        4.  Address:     
            House Number
            Street
            Subdivision
            Barangay
            Town /City
            Province
       5.  Contact telephone number
       6.  Email facebook account
       7.  Birthday
       x-x-x-x--x-x
       7. Lot information:   Lawn/Niche GE classification, Block #, Lot #
       8.  TLP
       9   Term
       10  DP
      12   MA
      13  Promo/Non Promo
      14  Insurable/Not Insurable
      15  Seller/Agent
      16.  The encoder/staff



Such masterlist soft copy is shared via Google Drive with Records and is updated automatically.   It can be from existing portal or an excel file.   Such file shall be shared too with  holygardens.groupportal@gmail.com

The SBU CSS 3, SFC must know how to harvest /filter groups of data such as:

      1. Sales by agents
      2. Insurable,non insurable
      3.  All GE sold

Ledgers:   

1.  New Accounts Creation

     The SFC encodes the accounts  which are derived from the master list:  Listing down:

     1. Date
     2. Account Nujmber  (derived from the PPA number and SBU prefix, and year suffix)
     3.  Account name:   Last Name  First Name    Middle Name
     4. Lot Information
     5.  TLP
     6.  Down payment
     7.  MA
     8.  Term
     9.  Promo (name)    Non Promo
    10  The encoder

Such ledger creation, soft copy shall be maintained, and shared by sbu to 3ffb via Google Drive. Such shall be shared also with the email:   holygardens.groupportal @gmail.com

2.  Inventory

     From sales report and the ledger created, the SFC removes the lot sold, form inventory  ( a preprepared master list with MAP encoded)

    The said excel file shall be shared with 3ffb, which is updated automatically

     The 3ffb stafff:  records and TA simply updates.  They do not start the files. They merely reconcile check and correct

3. Abstracts

    This refers to payments that have been made:   in opening the account

    1. Date
    2.  Account Number
    3. Name
    4.  Lot Information
    5.  OR #

         NLP or TCF
         Deposit slip #
         The encoder

The excel file of the abstracts shall be shared with the 3ffb via their respective email address and holygardens.groupportal@gmail.com

2.  AP

        It is presumed that the SBU has generated its own AP SL and GL for AP, and has shared the same with 3ffb. The CFC should have properly taken note of that
      1. The SBU prepares its own schedules of payables:   agents com, suppliers, govt agencies,   salaries etc:

          and separates:

          operation vs. IF and CMS

     2.  Generates  Excel file weekly of proposed AP schedule

   3.  AP and CFC approves/reduces amounts/defers depending on cash position and budget (same date)

   4.  SBU pouches the CV; with  a hard copy transmittal, notes that in their soft copy

   5. AP receives the CV, notes any changes, and returns those CV that lack requirements.  AP acknowledges both the soft and hard copy

   6. TA makes the checks

   7.  TA pouches the checks

   8.  AP reverses the AP entry as having been paid,  AP shares with  sbu.
        CFC properly notes the entries made

       AP gets the DR, and Sales Invoice for proper recording to:

       Inventory  FFE

       Inventory  Materials

             The SBU notes the credits from both using Excel shares with AP

   9.  TA monitors:

       OR and AR  especially with regards to payments to SSS, HDMF, BIR, Philhealth

5.  Punctuality -  The office encourages promptness in all undertakings:  appointments and submissions of requirements and thus the coming earlier than the prescribed time (30 minutes before )is strongly encouraged  This is to pave way for AM talk and preparation:  cleaning the office etc, preparation of the stuff, etc so that every body becomes very productive.

6.  Attendance - To find out who are trustworthy and can be relied upon, trainees are encouraged to have 100% attendance during the probationary period.   The absences are frowned upon during the training period.

      However leave of absence can not be texted.   No such thing as emergency leave

10.  Off days. 

    There are schedule of off days and are to be observed accordingly.  Change of off days is not encouraged


11.   Love of learning

 Employees, especially trainees are encouraged to go on life long learning in accordance with University of Life concept and are thus expectedf:

      1.  To learn one new thing a day  -  from AM talk, from blogs, from fellow workers and from his colleagues   The employee must show a log book record book to show this is happening

      2.  Book reports -   The trainee during the R2 period must submit at least 3 book reports

         The book report, which is preferably hand written must contain 3 things:

          1.  A couple of new things learned from the book

          2.  Relation to what he all ready knows. This is a memory enhancement tool so that the learner can link together his learning for a better organization rather than having his learning at random.

         3.  Application -  What to do next.  Learning to do.  How can the trainee apply the new learning in his job, and personally.   We must be able to bring down learning from abstract to practical level.

           God is in the detail.  We must be trained on how to flesh out execute instructions and  directives.   Not return the same to the higher ups as just ideas.

12.  Being action oriented:  MAKING THINGS HAPPEN

      1.  Avoid alibis  AND EXCUSES

      2.  AVOID BLAMING OTHERS

      3.  FOCUS ON SOLUTIONS RATHER THAN THE PROBLEMS.
Find the cause and solve the problem.

      4.  Dont just submit paper or recommendation.   submit this with recommendation

      5.  At worse, do not be hindrance to a project or explain most of the time why a thing can not be done.  But rather how this can be done

13.  Being resourceful rather than being resource oriented

      Much of the company were the result of gut and gumption of the pioneers not because of more money and more people being poured into the project.

14.  Bawal ang di ko alam dinatnan ko yan bale 

       Ating alamin.  Iyan ang iyong tungkulin.  To grow and advance your knowledge about your job.   and be promoted.

      Always strive to know the things you do not know.   That the is the only way to be better and how to improve yourself as a person (SELF MASTERY)

3.  To promote efficiency, save on cost and expenses

Reality:

1. We lost the blogs for the three:   birthdays, TRT and tribute archive
    None of the three is happening

2.  The reasons:

     1.  Lack of compliance

     2.  Lack of turn over

     3.  Lack of staff, despite frequent urging to hire

     There is a frequent talk and complaint:  do we need to follow and do this.  Yes.  We need manageable executions and these are some of them

WTDN

1.  We require the posting 

    a.  Of Travel Request at TRT site

    b.   Of the dead's  birth and death date of those who are enshrined/interred at at our memorial park

    c.  Posting the embed code at Tribute Archive of electronic tributes we have done for the interments.

    Tribute Archieve -  CSS 2

4.  Musts and standards:

 For the TRT

    1. TRTs must be posted with every travel;  they must be emiailed or uploaded prior to every travel.  They must be placed in the logbook which are to be submitted for PO for gasoline

         1.  SBUs must required to buy gasoline on PO.

   
 For the Birth and death date

2.  The CSS 3 (2) must compile birthdates and death dates, and using excel or some other program, generate death dates and birth dates list.    Such employee must:

       1.  Post the death date at the SBU front (or if there is an LED electronic billboard on that)

       2.  Put a flower and/or candle on the marker of the deceased.

       3.  Text the family to recall the death or birth date.

For the Tribute

3.  The CSS 2 must upload the electronic tribute to a third party site:    You tube, viimeo or daily moition.  {Should there be no electronic tribute, the CSS 2 does a video of the interment:  the mass, the convoy, the ceremonies - balloon tribute, the eulogies etc)

    1.  The CSS 2 gets the embed code from the video site;

    2.  The CSS 2 posts this at tribute archive site


4.  The CMO and HR, and SAA check and monitor this

Rewards and Punishment:

      1.  Those who post the tribute are awarded  between P100 to P200 depending as to whether this is deluxe or luxury interment

      2. Those who do not post are reprimanded:  the CSS 2/3 and the CMO

      3. The SBU will find difficulty in reimbursement of gas and vehicle expenses if they do not do the TRT uploading/posting

Memorandum Circular No 2017 - 11

This memo seeks to impose less stiff penalties in terms of fine rather than the extreme which is Class D offense. (Dismissal)

This is just a reiteration of what was practiced before at the mother company  -  Unisun

1. Objectives

   1. To achieve higher efficiency and productivity:

       Efficiency:   Outputs/Input    >    1

       Productivity:     output/individual  --increasing year on year

   2.  To develop good shitsuke, self discipline to be a good employee and businessman.

What are to be developed:

1.  Punctuality (that means arriving on or before 7:30) and 100% attendance . (In Toyota Japan, they award a hatch car)

     Award of P500.00 monthly

2.  Punishment:

    1.  If you are late beyond 8:30, you are  to be considered absent;

    2. You can only go half day from 12 onwards, not 8:00 to 12

    3.  If you are AWOL especially without notification and unjustifiable reason, you are decked for another day

3.   Late reports/submission beyond the deadline:

    P100.00 penalty for every day of delay

4. Others:

    1.  P50.00 for every wrong check issued

    2.  P500.00 for every double sale committed to be distribute  among:

      At the sbu

      P100.    cmo

       P100        sfc

       P100        css 1

       P100.      rcrma

      P100        TA

      Again this is a preventive measure and better than spending years in jail for estafa.  Now you will be aware not to commit double sales.  Without this, double sales becomes a norm

4.  Is    it possible that law enforcement agencies can plant drugs and prohibited substances in the park arrest us, prosecute and then in accordance with RA 9165 extort money from us?  This has been done and may be done again and again and is big money for them

5.  Stringent and very high penalties under RA 9165 of 2002 make everyone a target by PNP and PDEA operatives for corruption: RA 9165 of 2002
